Background

According to lead singer Charlotte Wessels, the lyrics on the album have a theme of death. This was unintentional and she only realized this after reviewing the lyrics she had written. Wessels has said that the title of the album comes from the idea that "Even in a dark place, there can also be that comfort in the dark." The songs "Danse Macabre" and "Chrysalis " were inspired by a film script, however she didn't specify which one.
