Generation Z
“Generation Z” speaks about standing up for what you believe in. Rather than just being offended, ignore or confront people who doubt/attack your ideas and principles and hold firm to what you know to be true and right. It is a very distinctive song on the album, as it follows a more heavy stoner direction as opposed to a progressive rock/metal vibe that characterizes the rest of the songs.

“The Path”
The Path speaks about overcoming failure, finding what you enjoy doing in life and pursuinging it with passion. Inspired by real life events, after Joakem, the composer, lyricist and performer of the song, realised that a career in Law was not what he wanted to follow for the rest of his life. He gave up Law and he continued doing what he always loved, writing and playing music. The Path is a progressive rock track with powerful drums, musically folk oriented keyboard solos, an intelligent blend of hard and soft guitars and contrasting themes that portray the very substance of the song.
