As the opening song of the album, “Criterion” manages to put the listener into a contemplative trance, and sets the scene for the listening experience yet to come. Lyrically ALPHA LYRÆ explores the futile concept of withholding the world’s atrocities from one’s child as it’s only a matter of time until the child encounters pain in our world. With its doom-laden and gloomy atmosphere, the music follows the lyrical concept perfectly as ALPHA LYRÆ laments his daughter’s eventual exposure to the world. Midway through the song, “Criterion” picks up the listener with hopeful notes. The lyrics follow suit as ALPHA LYRÆ teaches his daughter to cope with inevitable pain in the world.
