 FROM WOE UNTO ME:

Imagine yourself running in the constant movement of life keeping its fast pace, but suddenly you stop to take a breath. You find yourself far away from the wild streams of time. You are a lone observer. You see how everything around is changing rapidly. Nevertheless, you, your principles and hopes remain unchanged. You are in harmony with yourself in your solitude, while the fate of millions is being ground in the chaos of life. This song is about this condition – ‘Panta Rhei’ which means "everything flows,” a concept in the philosophy of Heraclitus.

For Heraclitus, fire nourishes life which moves upwards in a path of creation. Then a downward path of destruction follows as life gives place to death in a circular path that never ceases. Sri Aurobindo, the Indian philosopher, found a lot of similarities between Heraclitus’ thought and various forms of Hindu mysticism. This is also one of the pivotal ideas in our album. Being and non-being are opposed to each other but also two sides of the same coin. Without the one, the other cannot be. Consequently, the upward and the downward path, although they appear different, are in fact the same, as both are becoming their opposite. The world flows and constantly changes. During this unending process of morphing, life becomes death, death life, and everything gives its place to something else.

The title of the song, in its turn, also reflects the whole spirality that we’re talking about but emphasizing the moment when the spiral movement stops for our main character. With a slight change it’s borrowed from the phrase in Vladimir Nabokov’s novel ‘Pale Fire.’ Many of you probably noticed the same quote also in Denis Villeneuve’s movie ‘Blade Runner 2049.
