Set Phasers To Stun

This is about a relationship that has just ended. The guy in the song has suspected it all along but he didn't dare confront his girlfriend about it until she told him. The chorus is him saying, "Fine, you go hang around your apartment like you really want to be there, but you're really miserable."

The title is a phrase often said on Star Trek when they needed their weapons, but didn't want to use deadly force.

The album title comes from the line in this song, "So pace the stairs to your apartment, like it's where you want to be."
