Splendidula's fourth album opens a new chapter in the band's history. Written in the aftermath of the loss of several loved ones, including bassist Peter Chromiak in 2022, the album is shaped by themes of grief, depression, and loss. Splendidula blends black metal and doom with fragile atmospheric passages, drenched in grief and sorrow.

*LYRICS*
Kilte | _Coldness_

Doornen in mijn hart | _Thorns in my heart_
Tranen die vervliegen | _Tears that drift away_
Pure kwelling der smart | _Pure torment of grief_
Zachte blikken bedriegen | _Gentle gazes deceive_
Offerandes van genegenheid | _Offerings of affection_
De leegte valt zwaar | _The emptiness weighs heavy_
Verscheurende interne strijd | _Tormenting inner struggle_
Niets voelt nog waar | _Nothing feels real anymore_

(Chorus)
Verloren en leeg | _Lost and empty_
in de nacht | _in the night_
Kilte snijdt in mijn ziel | _Coldness cuts through my soul_
Elke stap is een kwelling | _Every step is a torment_

Mijn hart huilt en lijdt | _My heart cries and suffers_

Eeuwige stilte als respijt | _Eternal silence as solace_
De duisternis omarmt | _The darkness embraces_
Wanneer de ziel lijdt | _When the soul distresses_
Alle emotie verbrandt | _All emotion is ashen_
Tijd heelt alle wonden | _Time heals all wounds_
Een leugen die snijdt | _A lie that slashes_
Altijd alleen, nooit verbonden | _Always alone, never connected_
Traag verstrijken der tijd | _As time slowly passes_

(Chorus)

In een strijd | _In a struggle_
voor altijd | _Forever_
Zoveel pijn | _So much pain_
Een afscheid | _A farewell_
Voorbij | _Gone_
Wees vrij | _Be free_
