HAFD mastermind Vasilis Papageorgakopoulos said about the new track:
“It’s the beginning of life but in a bitter way, where ‘one breath is enough to release the pain’. The place where we live is just a passage and our existence is as short as the sound of a whistle. We are here to decompress, evolve or fail. Sarcastically, the refrain says ‘that even if I fail, I will ask for more’. A kind of human drama. The title is taken from biblical cosmology, where ‘the firmament’ is the vast solid dome created by God during Genesis. It divides the sea into an upper and a lower part so that land can appear. The song is a mid-tempo with some Katatonia feeling with doom vibes, also influenced by a great new Finnish band, The Abbey.“
