I originally wrote this song in 2009 on a whim one day. I believe Tom Murphy was supposed to come over to work on some songs, but ended up canceling on me leaving me with nothing to do, so I decided to record on my own. It was a while ago, so I don't really remember exactly what I was going for, but i really dug the idea of a song having a nice triplet/shuffle feel to it, and I also remember thinking the song was sounding pretty Nobuo-ish at times, so I definitely ran with that. I'll admit that the middle part of the song is heavily influenced by the FF7 slums theme (Where Cloud goes dress shopping) because it felt oh so right haha. It kinda sat there for a while, as this was before Spencer was in the band, and none of our previous singers felt inspired by it, but when Spencer first took a stab at it he ended up demoing ideas that really breathed new life into the song, and those ideas made it to the final version. This is another song that he just manages to hit all the notes I wanted to hear, and it made it feel like a fresh song even though the original arrangement was untouched. It is definitely one of the quirkier songs on the album overall, and I wouldn't be surprised if this is a song has to grow on the listener for them to really get into it, but this is one of my favorite songs that Periphery has put out just because it really doesn't sound like anything else we have done to me, and I don't even know how I would ever approach writing a song in this style again. - Misha

Sounds like Periphery, Arcturus and In Flames had a baby.

"BURY our disorder in the FROGGIN WELL! Escape someway AWAKE! HALLUCINATE DESIRE!" Jeez every single lyric in this song is so interesting...you have to REALLY think about what is being said and relate it to past experiences to really get what Sponce is saying

Dude acoustic outro was tasteful as hell. Totally unexpected from the original version I heard like 3 years ago.

After listening to the whole record again, I think this is probably the most intriguing song on there. It's a prime example of what progressive music is, and it perfectly aligns with the name 'Periphery' - because it's so out of the box.

One of the only bands since Alice in Chains that can put me in a trance. Great stuff.
