Zhenya Galich wrote the track ‘I'm Sick’ while undergoing treatment for clinical depression, PTSD, and anxiety disorder. "It's a song about help, the desire to get better, and experiences. I tried to talk about my experience, that each of us needs help, and if it's not physical treatment, then mental treatment is very, very much needed by everyone right now,‘ Galich comments.
The track ‘In the Windows’ is about loneliness and childhood memories. Nowadays, windows are usually taped up or boarded up and ‘have a completely different meaning,’ says Galich.
“Fatigue” is a song about a wounded soldier who dreams of returning home. The track ‘NEMAЄ MRII’ is about what the Russians want to deprive Ukrainians of, as well as dreams for a better future. The song ‘СВІДОМІСТЬ’ (Consciousness) is about de-occupied cities and people who defend their country.
Galich calls the track “AMSTERDAM” ‘the lightest and most positive track on the album.’ In particular, it is about faith, summer twilight and nostalgia.
