Track By Tracks: Martin Templum Domini - The Dark Matter (2024)

Things always happen in our lives that we do not want to happen. Things like death, diseases, envy, hatred, etc., are feelings that human beings have acquired over time, and we see them as something normal, as something to which we do not give importance.

But in reality, every time one of those feelings runs through our mind we end up feeling terrible fear, it is something that little by little changes the human being for the worse. Our mind falls into the depths of that fear as if it were the path to madness.

In fact, we have seen how in the last pandemic, people changed, and fear took over all of us. And it's just an example. During our journey as human beings, those fears, those destructive feelings have been taking over our gray matter, and as if it were a leaky brain, the dark matter has been making its way into the depths of our mind, traveling through the arteries of our thinking and changing the landscape to something abrupt and dangerous.

The main character of our story does not yet know that he is "infected" by that fear. But he knows that something lies inside him, "What Lies Beneath", and that it will make him fall to the depths of his mind, towards his deepest fears.

"The Dark Matter" has taken over him, somehow taken control, and he is no longer who he was before.

This leads to an eternal "Dystopia", where what once seemed to be one thing, now is no longer one. His world has changed and he faces a dramatic situation, where everything is the same over and over again like an "Inner Circle" from which he cannot escape, leading him to the most terrible truth, that he is now totally alone "Solitude".

A great depression floods his mind and takes him toward the "Edge Of Darkness". Only the dark shadows accompany him toward "Into Insanity". He has lost any perception of reality.

But there comes a moment where, after falling into the depths of his mind, he must rise, he must take control, "Dominion" and know that he can escape from that moment, from that place, and that with enough strength he can glimpse a ray of light, "A New Dawn", hold on to it, cleanse your mind of fears and achieve "Redemption"

From a fictional point of view, that is the story. From a realistic point of view, we talk about the terror that mental illnesses, such as anxiety or depression, cause in people.

Hence the great influence of Poe, especially in his poem The Raven, where he creates that unnatural atmosphere, and narrates the character's descent into madness. Or Wells' works, a pure mix of horror and science fiction, always make you feel trapped.
