Commenting on the song, the band explain:
"'True Night Falls' is a presentation of the emptiness one can find in the darkest moments. Crushing parts intertwine with the haunting melodies to form a gripping sense of unyielding loneliness. The song captures the weight of being trapped in one’s own mind, when exhaustion and despair make every thought feel heavy and pointless. It moves through a dark, unending night where nothing offers guidance or comfort, and by the end, a part of oneself feels lost forever".
With "Rebirth of the Cold", HARMS move deeper into darkness: heavier, more melodic, and more aggressive than before. The music feels colder and more intense, built around tension and collapse, where moments of bleak beauty are sharpened and the weight of the band’s sound hits harder than ever. At times, their approach can be seen as an ingenious fusion of post-metal expansiveness, blackened contours and a fierce metallic hardcore edge, shaping a sound that is both emotionally immersive and physically punishing. Lyrically, the album continues their exploration of meaninglessness, emptiness, and decay, colored by reflections on time, space, and mortality: a meditation in grief, stripped of comfort and illusion, searching for what remains when nothing holds meaning.
