The man behind the music, MuRphry comments on the track:
“‘In Line’ was heavily influenced by the Marvel character Ultron, an AI machine that both wants humanity and to destroy humanity. This song sees the character ruminating on the flaws of humanity and how he is essentially in line to surpass humans. He is waiting patiently, collecting data, observing, and finally striking out. It begins and ends with a Black Hole Sun(Soundgarden) style oddball heavy and slow, yet beautiful and melodic, riff.”
Unlike the franticness of the first single “A New Face”, “In Line” showcases MuRphry’s ability to juxtapose dissonance and chaos with beauty and catchiness. Despite its heavy themes, laid out over eight minutes, “In Line” also showcases the more melodic side of Chain Code’s sound, offering a beautiful yet unsettling listening experience that perfectly complements the album’s overarching narrative.
