David J. Clark summarizes the song as "a detailed description of a sci-fi type assassin" — "A killing machine" — that "closely resembles a terminator" — but which is "Not a cyborg," we're told, and twice told "Maybe not a mutant, maybe a man." See for this blurring of human/machine in a creature with a "computer on-board" and "Engaged in a war." D. J. Clark (ENG/FST 350), 10/XI/01; ed. RDE, finishing 31Mar23
