Song Interpretations
- "Slave Labor" contains references to the self-immolation of a person against the corporate world, e.g. Kathy Change.
- "Cyberwaste" contains references to anonymous Internet users who express haughty opinions only because they are "safe behind the cyberscreen".
- The title track "Archetype" is directed at then ex-guitarist Dino Cazares: "The infection has been removed/The soul of this machine has improved." Frontman Burton C. Bell has said in an interview that "'Archetype,' defines what Fear Factory is, completely. It has classic Fear Factory parts, and the heavy/melodic vocals, but without being forced or contrived."

It’s singing, weaving a song about the president saluting the trust,
The past in each of us....”
