Song information
The lyrics to the title track presented a story with a more philosophical bent: "It's got to do with deep sea diving, when you look for a buried treasure. The ultimate treasure would be a sunken treasure with three locks on it, because that means it was the most valuable stuff that the queen had on that ship. And you need three different guys with keys to open it, that way no one could steal it. So a 'Three Lock Box' to me is within yourself. If you unlock the treasure of your physical, and your mental and your spiritual potential - those three in balance - you are a real human being and almost godly."[5]
Elsewhere, Hagar said, "The three lock box can also be a woman's body. The cover of the LP shows the lips, which is one of the locks, and the others I think you can figure out for yourself."[6]

Reception
Kerrang! said, "It's an experimental album that has failed overall, an interesting exploration which doesn't improve on tried and tested formulas. It grows on you the more you listen to it, but is that just familiarity breeding acceptability?"[7]
