 On June 14th 2015 a lyric video for The Mind Electric was uploaded to ミラクルミュージカル's YouTube Page
 The lyric video version of the song is the exact reverse of the studio version, so that the opposite half of the song plays forward. In this version, the forward section doesn't contain as many samples or stutters, and is about thirty seconds shorter than the backwards section.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaqTI6d0I7I The Mind Electric Music Video.

+A Youtube user previously known as Haivas Knud (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsW7fYiWZY15QTUOgy4yOMw) wrote about the voices in the background of the instrumental, the comments on The Mind Electric's Instrumental (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GPoTFFfChs&t=147s&ab_channel=tallyall) further detail the possible meaning or origin of these excerpts it's well worth a read!

You can listen to the original source here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpEwYJ5GQIM (Alan Ladd in Box 13 (Box Thirteen): Shanghaied (1948 Old-time Radio)) and skip to 2:34 of the video to listen to the snippet)

(*many* thanks to using this for comments (username) for pointing out that this was an excerpt from Apology by Plato and sharing the full line)
+For those who want it, here's a broken down version of 2:34 since it's hard to hear:
+:34<ref>https://youtube/2GPoTFFfChs?t=154</ref> -- "But by a sort of genius and inspiration...
+:37<ref>https://youtube/2GPoTFFfChs?t=157</ref> -- "They are like diviners and soothsayers...
+:40<ref>https://youtube/2GPoTFFfChs?t=160</ref> -- "Who also say many fine things..."
+:44<ref>https://youtube/2GPoTFFfChs?t=163</ref> -- "But do not understand the meaning of them." (you can hear the st in understand at 2:44) (this entire segment only plays on the left earbud/headphone, so it's helpful to take out your right one when listening closely to it)
