[edit] Devin's Notes On The Song
Just before the album leaked onto the internet Devin Townsend posted the story behind the record on his internet forums. This is what he wrote about 'Let It Roll'
"let it roll - it's in two parts, but it starts the record in a subtle way. In fact, the first 2 tracks (lir and the beginning of hypergeek) are essentially long intros. Most of the records I do smack you in the face on the first song...the climax of Synchestra is the 11th song, 'A Simple Lullaby'. Synchestra makes you wait for it. The story is about finding certain answers to life questions as a result of going too far, 'be careful what you wish for' and the way that reacts to a sensitive mind. Humility. Let it roll basically says just that, it's a resignation, almost like; 'I blew it...but theres nothing I can do about it now, so let it roll.'"
