This was... interesting. Atmospheric. Lucid and lush but... maybe not as riveting as it could be. Not with the variation nor with the flow, all the way through the sound is stalking; somewhat stagnant in how it seems to never reach the next natural stage...

The production's great, the sound's great, just feels like there could be more to it. The builds there but so slow, it takes about four minutes for it to kick in, and then... back to normal again.

Considering the name I would've thought this would be louder, or faster; somehow more intense. But maybe it's a boil under the surface too. A pent up anger bubbling and seething, erupting in re-occurring steam-like bursts of emotion... ambience and lividness though, it's a strange mix. :)

Anyway as far as the music goes it's great, just a little repetitive after all.

Nice work again!

oh why thank you i appreciate the kind words :), i do agree about the structure being questionable, the meaning that has to do with the title is quite complicated, a simpler way to explain my way of naming songs (at least half the time) is that i just think of whatever emotion i'm feeling around that period of time or i just try to create random images or scenes in my head and pick something or someone from that image that has a dope sounding name and chuck it in, there's rare times where i just come up with a completely made up word that sounds cool, i also find myself getting ideas from mostly phil elverum and aphex twin, it's a clusterfuck lmao.

and about repetition, i very much agree with this piece being a little repetitive, i was so proud of this track when making it, i honestly didn't even care lol. but the first demo of the track was like 7(1/2) minutes long without any second chorus or just a second anything, that same melody just went on for like 3-4 minutes lol so i'm really glad i still had the stems when i hopped back into working on the album that this track was in (which was much more flawed just a few months before release) nonetheless thank you a lot and i'm glad you like it :) ✌️

Really chill and quiet track. Makes me wanna sit in a hot spring or some shit idk. Good job though
