"This song came as if by itself; the easiest and most creative project so far, quite sovereignly! At the end of the session, I said to my recording engineer that I have one more idea, and about an hour later, the body of the song was already in place. I decided that this will be released as a standalone single, since the style is so different from the rest of the material that I'm working on," shares Mika.

Lyrics:
Secrets of life remains a mystery
But all this pain is far too real
My name remains in history
As I am gone before you know it

I am failure
In your eyes
I am failure
Filled with lies

Inside my heart
I know that I will fail you
Reaching the line
Of no turning back on this and

Destroy my life

Veiled by this agony
Drowning in the self hatred
Meaning of life is a mystery
But ending it becomes mandatory
