		<description>I am unfamiliar with both songs, unfortunately. But I will say that I read &quot;control&quot; here as a verb several times before it occurred to me what the meaning of the phrase might be if &quot;control&quot; was meant as a noun (as in the control of an experiment).

That in turn, reminds me of a number of things, mainly Daniel Faraday and the injections he was giving Eloise, the injections the Others were giving Claire, the &quot;vaccine&quot; Kelvin insisted Desmond take, etc.

I guess I might have a better idea of which direction to take if I knew what to make of the nanobots clue. Has anyone here read Greg Bear&#039;s book &quot;Blood Music&quot;? If so maybe they could speak to its relevance (or not) here. 

I myself haven&#039;t read it, I&#039;ve just heard a lot about it from my husband (who&#039;s been recommending it to me for years). But the clues here made me think of it. As I understand it, &quot;Blood Music&quot; is about accelerated evolution; something about a scientist injecting himself with nanobots that become self-aware cells in his body.</description>

		<description>&quot;control me, consult me&quot; = Papa Roach, &quot;The Addict.&quot;

The other lines in the post are from Susan Vega&#039;s &quot;Blood Makes Noise.&quot;

Two different references to blood-related themes.  I suppose it either could be a veiled reference to Charlie (an addict), or perhaps to the theme of the last ARG, which involved involved a &quot;Doc&quot; (Thomas Mittelwerk) who was experimenting on subjects via their blood.

Or I could be wildly off base with either theory.  Maybe the nanobots of the earlier &quot;clue&quot; are what prompts blood to make noise...  Dunno...</description>
