Simons and Lucassen stated: “‘R.E.D.’ deals with the rise of artificial intelligence, imagining a future where the creation begins to outpace the creator. It reflects on the A.I.’s growing self-awareness and its unfulfilled desire to experience emotions, something that its synthetic nature makes impossible to ever realize. The song also looks at the double-edged nature of technological advancements and the profound existential questions that are becoming ever more important to address.”
talking about the first two singles from the album “Aeterna” and “In Love We Rust”, Simone stated: “Well, ‘Aeterna’ was the idea of Arjen to release as a first single track, because it is a little bit of a perfect blend of AYREON and EPICA; there’s quite some similarities of both our music career, I guess. So it would be kind of a soft introduction to both our fans, to get warm with the project. But it’s definitely not an indication of how the whole album sounds like; it’s still very, very different. And ‘In Love We Rust’ is one of both Arjen and my favorite tracks of the album, and it’s a beautiful ballad. Who doesn’t like a ballad? ”
