The Titan EP is an EP by metalcore band Oh, Sleeper. It was released in 2013 independently after a successful crowd-funding effort on the website Indiegogo.
The Titan EP was released independently by Oh, Sleeper with funding assistance via Indiegogo.
This new concept is about a campaign (Titan) that is taking over the world, town by town, offering synthetic upgrades (mechanical hearts, eyes, lungs, limbs) in exchange for time served in their service. Every upgrade costs a time commitment (contract) where you must do the bidding of Titan.
The idea is that anything is possible, if you want to be a doctor and don’t want to work for it, you can get a skill download from Titan with a brain augmentation and have it instantly, the only cost is that you are now a part of Titan until your time-debt has been paid. You want to be a marathon runner, get new legs, etc. The catch is that these upgrades need servicing and the only people who can service them are the Titan technicians, the only currencies accepted are time-contracts. The older you are, the less time you have to spend. If you have a debt when you die, it transfers to your next of kin (spouse, parents, children).

In return, as payment he must agree to a "time contract" for the services rendered (6 years). In this case he will receive a new set of eyes and in return he must spend his time doing whatever the group asks of him using his augmentations. Driven by his desire, he accepts the eyes but not until after some persuasion by the group. In the end of the song he is convinced.
"Death From Above" is the number 3 song on the Titan EP from Oh, Sleeper:
In the song, the boy awakens with his new eyes and is given the option to join the piloting program offered by the Titan group. He spends his 6-year contract being a pilot doing the Titan's tasks appointed to him. He is ecstatic about his new life and is learning from the program. At the end of his 6 years he is promoted to the "collectors program". He is now responsible for finding augmentees fleeing from their time debts. He is tasked with a dangerous raid on a rogue hideout.
