Behind The Tracks: Advents - In My Restless Dreams (Single) (2024)

‘In My Restless Dreams’ was written from the perspective of someone who can’t come to terms with losing the person that was closest to them. They cling to memories and reminders of what they have lost and refuse to let go,” shares vocalist Spizz.

This song taps into the universal pain of losing someone close, and how that grief can manifest as a haunting presence, casting shadows over one’s entire existence. The intense emotional resonance is evident not only in the lyrics but also in the band’s performance, offering a sonic reflection of inner turmoil.

Advents’ masterful ability to fuse melody with aggression truly shines on 'In My Restless Dreams.' The contrast between clean vocals and guttural screams heightens the emotional tension in the song, mirroring the duality of yearning for the past while wrestling with the suffocating weight of grief. FKA Rayne’s vocal part represents the perspective of the person being longed for, creating a poignant and contrasting dynamic in the song. Her lines serve as a haunting response to the protagonist’s desperation, and her voice takes on an ethereal, distant quality, embodying the memory of the person who left, yet continues to haunt the mind. This dual perspective adds depth to the song’s narrative, capturing both the yearning for reconciliation and the finality of separation.
