About “Empty Plateau” the band say..“Empty Plateau” is a poignant exploration of the deep complexities within a fractured family relationship. The song captures the yearning for a connection that was never fully realized, weighed down by trust issues and painful betrayals. It conveys the heartbreak of witnessing a loved one’s self-destructive behavior and the relentless cycle of hope and despair that follows, leaving a lasting impact on those who care the most.”
