What Insomnium wrote in their booklet about this song :
For some reason it took really long time to get this one together. In the end, I discarded everything except the chorus, which also went through a serious revamp. Bit more of a traditional Insomnium Son with characteristic balance between riffs and melodies. Builds up towards the end with minor post-rock ambience influences. Lyrics were written in the middle of the recording session in the bus. We were running against really tight schedules and I tried to work on the songs whenever wherever.
i just remember that we did not have any snow at all and that it was really dark all the time. I guess it kind of made you feel bit paranoia because you could not really tell if it was morning or evening. And this is something that went into the lyrics as well. I guess it's my take on our information society where knowledge is power, but knowing too much can be dangerous. Everything is well as long as you stick with the collective story; being different and questioning things brings you all kinds of trouble. V. Friman
