To quote the always interesting Wayne Studer:

"The title The Sound of The Atom Splitting, which the song employs as something of a refrain and comes across as a non sequitur, was taken from a line in Derek Jarman's film The Last of England. And just what is the sound of the atom splitting? It's apparently supposed to be an "atomic age" metaphor for the end of the world."
