Background
Sanchez specifically wanted the voice of a child included on the opening track as the titular character, Vaxis, exists in all states of his life; describing the stretch of time in the use of both the child and adult's voice.

Trivia

 * "Old Flames" is interpolated on this track.
 * Sanchez's son, Atlas, features in this track.
 * Since Sanchez writes at home, his son ends up in his office a lot and joked that that is probably why he ended up on the album this time.
