This song is a story of someone who feels like they're being controlled by a voice in their head, a voice that grows stronger the more anxious and fearful they become. A more of a psychological narrative, that ends with a reminder that the road to peace and self-acceptance is tough, but it's something we all have to face.
The magnificent classic rock sound of this song comes straight from the band's vintage gear. The live instrumental has a massive open hall ambience that gives every instrument a natural, organic reverb. Everything sounds raw and unfiltered. The music features strumming acoustic guitars, big, bold drums and bass, stunning electric guitars, incredible vocals, and an organ in the background.
As the song progresses, there's a beat switch that marks the climax, where the music becomes faster and more intense. It's not your typical polished, punchy rock—this is music that leans heavily on its lyrics and explores deep, philosophical themes.
Inspired by the book 'Royal Assassin', the lyrics are about the fear of being alone and how easy it is to fall into the same bad habits over and over. There's also a message about ambition and failure for someone who aimed too high and is now dealing with the consequences of that failure. This person is on a tough journey, trying to find peace. But the path is long and difficult, like trying to reach some distant place for a final rest.
