"I" of LanzerRath describes the inspiration behind Nebular Collapse: The Dissolution of Order and Meaning: "The song is a cosmic odyssey that traverses the depths of nihilism and the search for meaning in a universe indifferent to our existence. With a backdrop of the sun's enduring flame and the decay of mortal coils, the lyrics challenge us to find significance in the fleeting moments of life. It's a journey through time, space, and consciousness, where the ultimate liberation lies in embracing the cosmic explosion—the final release from the erosion of eternity. This song is not just a musical piece; it's a philosophical inquiry into the essence of being, a tesseract of thought nestled in the infinite expanse of oblivion."
