The track is packed with aggressive wordplay, dark metaphors, and nods to cult-classic shows and movies like “Breaking Bad” and “Casino”. Sicknature from the Snowgoons crew handled the production, delivering that brutal hardcore sound, complete with DJ Eclipse’s signature cuts.

The artists really dive into this idea of “metamorphosis”, which to them means losing your core values, your ideals, and your way in life.
They also touch on a massive, global crisis, pointing out that humanity has basically passed the point of no return. The world is just a chaotic mess right now, both on a micro and on a macro level.
It leaves them feeling like total outsiders in a world that’s changed so much, where the line between good and bad is completely blurred.
