Escrita em 2018, após um incidente onde Vavallo fraturou a mão direita, a letra foi incorporada à música nas horas subsequentes ao acidente, em um cenário de intensa dor. A canção delineia um paralelo entre os monolitos da cultura do consumo e seu inevitável derretimento.
lyrics
Monolitos de luxúria.
Arranha-céus de ambição cristalizada.
A lua a observar
a Terra sucumbindo ao Ego.
Súbito as rochas derretem.
A luz é como o puro fogo.
Transmutação do rígido para o mole,
balanceando a esfera boreal.
Vem montanha abaixo,
rolando sobre o chão negro.
Rugindo, superaquecendo
o calor da Terra Mãe...
Monoliths of luxury.
Skyscrapers of crystalized greed.
The moon who oversees
the Earth tumbling by the Ego.
Suddenly the rocks start melting.
The light is made of bright fire.
Transmutation from hard to soft,
balancing the boreas ring.
Rolling down the mountain,
shining bright on the black floor.
Stumbling, rumbling, overcharging,
the heat of Mother's love...
