One morning I woke up to see the fog drifting away, sunlight pouring into the room. In that moment, I slipped into a state of mind that no longer felt part of the human world. Perhaps science fiction, at its core, is an attitude of stepping out of the earthly realm.

This song is the first time I’ve created something with a true sci-fi sensibility. I’ve always felt it would make a fitting theme for a science-fiction film. It’s also the first time I’ve let my mother tongue merge with my musical language. The struggle of writing in my native language seems to be fading—along with the doubts I had in my youth about its authenticity.

In any case, this is a very important song for me.
