This is the first single from Psychic Warfare. "It's a tale about an unnamed protagonist who is forced to seek refuge in a flop house motel," stated singer Neil Fallon. "He is hiding from several nefarious psychic forces, the worst of which is his own sleep-deprived paranoia."
The Psychic Warfare album title is taken from this track.
The song's lyrical concept was influenced by Philip K. Dick, the science fiction author whose 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? was the basis for the movie Blade Runner. Fallon said: "[Dick's] general philosophy and questions have always crept into my lyrics, because I share an interest in it. On Earth Rocker, 'Crucial Velocity' was definitely a Philip K. Dick song for me. On this record, 'X-Ray Visions' certainly is."
