Child of Dust is written from the perspective of the element of Earth. The entire song tells of how Man was created as a child of Earth, yet as we grew, we "rebelled against our parent (the Earth)" by building, warring, and desecrating the planet. At first the Earth is confused as to why we destroyed it's beauty, but as we die, the Earth still takes back our bodies (as we bury our deceased), and protects them. The message behind this song is that no matter how we advance our civilization, we all came from the Earth, and one day we will all return to it.

The Flame Deluge is written from the perspective of the element of Fire, commenting about the way man has used it as a weapon and tool for destruction. The first and second stanzas illustrate this nicely, while the third and fourth display the element's feelings of remorse for its mis-used power, and give Fire the image of a misunderstood beast (Comparable to Frankenstien's monster). This "tortured beast" image is also found in the washed out screaming in which the lyrics are sung.

This song is one of 4 songs on The Alchemy Index which is written in Iambic Pentameter, The Flame Deluge, Kings Upon the Main, Silver Wings, and Child of Dust. Each of these songs is written to illustrate the relationship between man and each represented element (in order according to song titles listed above), Fire, Water, Air and Earth. Silver Wings is written from the perspective of the air, reflecting on what it has done for man, and how man has reacted to it. For example, "I drew the poison from the summer's sting" refers to the cooling winds in the summer time, and "And after all of this, I am amazed, that I am cursed far more than I am praised." demonstrates how humanity has taken these things for granted, and instead will focus on the negative aspects of the air (eg. Storms). The last 2 lines of each of these 4 songs are all rhyming couplets, which share a vocal melody.
