about

“Mid of Nothingness” stems from a sombre place, as it was inspired by their friend’s suicid. It is a philosophical track with lyrics, which ponder the meaning of life from a nihilistic perspective.

lyrics

You're falling in a dream
An eternal
Dream of a pale veil embracing a withering rose
You’re falling in a peaceful dream
Your lips never turn, never turn red again
Not yet to know
Why we’re born in this world, and why we keep striving for something
Like Sisyphus rolling his rock

Is our life an accident
No inherent meaning at its core
Ideal and cause
Or even faith
Are placebos for the soul
Is our life a coincidence
Everyone is dancing on the grave
Open our eyes
And close them up
Existence vanishes into thin air

I’m falling in a dream
An intermittent
Dream of wonderland embracing an artificial rose
I’m weaving myself a peaceful dream
Escaping the void of the universe
No need to know
Why we’re born in this world, and why we keep striving for something
Like Sisyphus raising his rock

If life itself is an accident
No inherent meaning at its core
Family and friends
Lovers as well
Are consolations to our minds

If life itself is a coincidence
Shall we sing and dance to make our own sound
Open your eyes
To see the world
We are tiny
but remember

A drop of water can reflect thousands of stars in the sky
We suffer and grieve with love
To carve the proof of living here and now

It's true, we struggle in the mid of nothingness
Like Sisyphus repeating
But when the sweet dreams come
Once again
Domination is in our hands
