In this song, the person is saying, ‘These are the things I’m going to do.’ It’s optimism.
The chorus talks about being omnipotent: ‘I am the one/Icarus/I’ll touch the sun,’ whereas Icarus could not touch the sun. When you start to lucid-dream, you become the god of your dreams. “In this one, the character starts to realize that they’re almost like a god. But this person is realizing they can manipulate their dreamworld.” Usually, when you do that, you wake up immediately. Lucid dreaming-becoming aware of dreaming during the dream-is one of the hardest things to do. In this one, they’re becoming aware of their abilities. In the first song, they’re falling into place. “This is where the character starts to realize that they’re lucid dreaming-and they’re able to control almost all of this world that’s around them. It’s a concept album, so this is the first chapter.” The whole song is about falling into this place that feels familiar, but it’s somehow not familiar at the same time. “There’s a narrator explaining the potential of dreams and lucidity, the opportunity for exploration of the infinite, and a deeper dive into the human psyche. “I wanted to do something that creates an emotion that, maybe, you haven’t felt in a long time.” Below, he discusses each track. “A lot of deathcore albums are about anger and ‘fuck this, fuck that’-very monotone,” Ramos notes. Inspired by some of his favorite anime and manga, Pain Remains is a concept album that takes place in a dreamworld created by someone who wants to escape their reality. “I wanted to write an adventure that starts with the first song and ends almost back at the beginning with the last song,” he explains. So, Ramos trusted his instincts when it came time to write lyrics for Pain Remains.
Their advice paid off when the EP’s “To the Hellfire” went viral. In the end, the band was like, ‘Do whatever feels most comfortable.’” “I had a million different ideas but wasn’t sure what to do. “Writing the EP, I overthought the crap out of everything,” he tells Apple Music. Ramos made his studio debut with the band on their 2021 EP, …And I Return to Nothingness. The New Jersey deathcore crew already had three albums and three EPs under their collective belt-not to mention a significant fanbase. When Lorna Shore brought in Will Ramos to replace their previous vocalist in 2020, he had his work cut out for him.
