This song happens to be a follow-up to a previous EP from the artist, which was released in June 2022. Although only a few months have passed, this new single is a massive showcase of growth from the artist, and a signal that he is not willing to rest in his comfort zone, but constantly challenging himself with new ideas and styles.
The artist definitely embraces the “less is more” philosophy here, seamlessly achieving a massive tone, without overdoing it and loading up the song with way too many elements. Since the mix is not overly crowded, the song feels spacious and lush, with plenty of room for the vocal parts to really stick out.
lyrics
Then life goes on
There's no time to meditate
Life's marching on
And erasing all my memories
Carving in my skin
The path of my destination
I have to fight it every second of my life
This is a war...
This is a war
Now is the time for annihilation
This is a war
Slash the heads or you'll be gone
This is a war
There is no time for hesitation
This is a war
Determination, I stand strong
This enemy
Is stronger than you think
Epidemic
I know I'm not in this game alone
Carving in my skin
The path of my destination
I have to fight it every second of my life
This is a war
Now is the time for annihilation
This is a war
Slash the heads or you'll be gone
This is a war
There is no time for hesitation
This is a war
Determination, I stand strong
This is a war
This is a war
Determination, I stand strong
