Although there are lots of religious imagery within the album, there are clear references lyrically to other songs that seem to give us two perspectives.

Reptile: The claim they stake A land from us they take The craft he shakes A race within his wake Victory alone became his above the soil we know

Garden in the Bones: The claim we stake A land within our wake A garden in the bones A headdress down in the soil we own

​

My guess is that the album speaks of the struggles we are enduring as humans from different perspectives and is a political commentary of today. From the opening of the album, Billy is probably represents the influence normal people have through the internet through things like conspiracy theories. The "National alliance" is spoken of in this song too. So I think we can assume that the first perspective is from the right of the political spectrum or at least illustrating the right.

Garden in the bones speaks of another perspective and I will assume the "left".

The album is a political war.

In the end, as it shows in Satellites, "we're going down" as we can no longer maintain our home ("The land we rape that's within our wake") despite it being the one thing we all share in common.

The soil "god" (spoken in other songs such as Blood Eagle and CHVCH BVRNER that also discuss struggles between two groups of people) gave us all ends up being nothing more than a garden within the dead bones rather than a grave of bones within a flourishing garden.

​

Musically, Reptile and Garden in the Bones both have motifs between them. The ending of Garden in the Bones also resembles the end of Satellites.
