Description

Once upon a time, the world seemed like a swamp - sticky, hopeless, where every day dragged on like a three-act drama without intermissions. And then suddenly - a flash. Someone turned on a spotlight right into the fog: not a saviour, not a prince, but rather an arsonist who was simply bored of watching the darkness. And in this fire, it suddenly became warm.

Rising from the ashes is not a fairy-tale heroine, but a woman tired of drowning in her own mind. Her tower, it turns out, is not a prison, but a good vantage point. From above, you can see that it is possible to live, burn, make mistakes, and even love without turning into a tragic Ophelia. Just hold someone's hands, where instead of a crown there is ashes, instead of salvation there is a spark.

A song about those who are pulled out not for happiness, but so that they want to breathe again. Loudly, sleeplessly, with a spark that is no longer scary to touch.
