HAFD’s mastermind, Vasilis Papageorgakopoulos, has stated about the new track:

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