Track By Tracks: Faded Remembrance - The Blessing Of Downfall (2026)

1. The Blessing Of Downfall:

The lyrics are about the story of Phaeton, who was the son of Cronos and was struck dead by Zeus lightning during his journey around the World and the Sun. Also represents some thoughts about the eternal suffering of Prometheus, as well as mixed with spiritual thoughts of falling in general, and the need to stand up and move on.

2. Shadowhaunt:

Shadows from the past are always with us; they can be struggles, painful experiences, mainly from childhood and from our young age, but also they can represent our fear of the unknown, the weight of existence, which is upon our shoulders, or they are just false feelings that we cannot explain.

3. Glimmering Hope:

The lyrics represent that even if the hope is sometimes fragile and moreover an illusion, it is also an incredible power that can help the person to move forward and not give up. Also representing thoughts of calming down after situations when we are having anger.

4. At The Gates Of Avalon:

Processing the mystical story of King Arthur and the fallen land of Avalon. The story follows a wanderer who walks through the land during dark clouds and rain.

5. Deep In The Forest:

It is a lyric with deep feelings of cold and frost while walking in the forest. The story follows a person who wants to give up his life and is wondering whether he should end his life and die or choose the harder path to move on, even if it can be further suffering as well.

6. Requiem:

It is about a funeral, generally representing mourning and loss. It is coming from personal experiences. The main motive is the raven that is following the acts of the funeral ceremony.

7. Thoughts Of Disobedience:

It represents thoughts of disobedience, but also raises questions to God about existence, purpose, and looking for guidance during hard times. We must know that we are the only ones who can help ourselves, but faith can help a lot in this case, so the sacred power of God can be used; we just need to find the source and connect.

8. Pride Far Gone:

As we are getting older, many things look different compared to young age. The pride and self-confidence sometimes are just a camouflage, and we are processing the things inside us differently. When we look back on our lives close to the end, we will see many things are different, but all the wounds will remain with us, caused by all the losses we faced.

9. Slumber In the Darkness:

Slumbering and thinking / listening inside. The World is still turning, and everything is moving forward, but sometimes we need to look inside to find answers to our questions, or at least we must try it. There are also fears that are coming from deep, and we press them back time by time into a dark hole inside us, but sometimes they can come back again. How can we manage them? Can we? Do we deserve the pain and suffering we are facing? Maybe these questions can never be answered.
