If you think about it, the time we spend with darkness is unexpectedly long. This is an album that says, "Let's get along with the darkness a little better. This album is structured in such a way that you wake up from a dream, spend time in reality, and then go back to the dream. The key point is that you "return" to the dream. The side to which you originally belong may be in the dream. In other words, it is as if reality is a dream and the dream is reality.
