Lyrical themes

Pekka Kiviaho explains the overall concept and theme behind the album:

All the songs are about choices, what you are and what you can become. The path on the cover symbolizes just that, which way to go in life. You can either become The Hunter or the hunted.[3]

gollark: Can you think of additional stats it should track at the side?

gollark: The editing UI *does* look rather nice though.

gollark: I mean, there are comments, but not very good ones, and it's a bit of a mess.

gollark: I wonder if I should be worried about minoteaur now incorporating about 298 lines of frontend JS with ~0 comments.

gollark: Obviously.
