The album serves as a constant exploration of wakefulness, guided by voices that lead individuals towards the right path. However, human nature often gravitates towards worldly pleasures, causing turmoil. Despite the presence of the right voices in the mind, the struggle to control one's thoughts and nature persists. The album represents a fight against one's own nature, leaving behind 'the residue' as the foundation and building block.

In this journey, there is no fixed point of dilemma or clarity; it's a matter of personal choice. Every action and position are influenced by deep desires ingrained by the surrounding environment, leaving everything open to interpretation.

This debut album takes listeners on an experimental and versatile journey, exploring cinematic-style music from hip-hop beats to EDM and meditative tones. The concept intricately weaves through the entire tracklist, navigating the complex landscape of self-discovery and our place in the world. The profound realization comes through 'the residue,' urging listeners to find satisfaction in mastering their thoughts and desires in the real matrix.

The ultimate message is open to interpretation, emphasizing that perfection isn't a prerequisite in our diverse world. The concept organically evolved, mirroring the artist's growth during the pandemic. Tracks transitioned from an unorganized theory to 'The Residue,' with many quietly unveiled on platforms like YouTube and Soundcloud as Unlisted before refinement for this album. Some compositions date back to the pandemic era, while others were freshly crafted in the early months of 2023.

Crafted, written, produced, and arranged by Devrath, this album took shape using basic and simple DAWs such as LMMS, GarageBand, and Bandlab, providing a raw and authentic sonic experience. Immerse yourself in the distinctive soundscapes, embracing imperfections, and join the artist on a continuous journey of creative exploration.

Notable moments include the narrator's inquiry in the title track's outro: 'Now, where do you stand?' leading to the last closing track 'Dilemma/Clarity.' The title track connects through the collapsing colosseum, symbolizing the dismantling of existence and paving the way for a new foundation. Key tracks like 'I,' 'ME.,' 'U,' 'The Residue,' and 'Dilemma/Clarity' serve as crucial moments in the album's concept. A monologue interlude provides further clarity in the first half's concept.
