According to the liner notes, Enigmatic : Calling was inspired by "a number of great thinkers, philosophers, scientists, writers, and film directors," including Erich von Däniken, Albert Einstein, and Steven Spielberg. Some of the lyrics address "the idea that mankind was originally created, constructed, and placed here on Earth as a genetically modified species created as a project by 'aliens'."
