At that time, Atoma was also becoming a musical faction as one of its members, Ehsan K. (ex Slumber), began directing a group of dedicated musicians that now bears the name of ATOMA.
Premiere album Skylight is finished and waiting for release.

Atoma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A dragon shaped like me
We flew
We grew
Roaring high
My kingdom in siege
in flames
Follow
Follow the white
Watch my kingdom in flames
King of air
Where's your sword
I need you
The lyrics of Atoma's song Highway seem to tell a story of a dragon who grows and soars high. The singer describes himself as the dragon and his confidence in his abilities as he flies. However, his kingdom is being attacked, and he is powerless to stop it. The lyric "My kingdom in siege, in flames, untamed" implies that there is chaos and destruction happening around him, and he is incapable of stopping it. The singer then asks for help, calling out to someone, possibly a friend or ally, referred to as the "King of air." The singer's plea for help suggests that despite his power, he is not enough to save his kingdom.
The lyrics of Highway present an allegory, where the dragon represents the singer, and his kingdom is a metaphor for his personal life or struggles. The song speaks to the universal theme of being unable to handle every challenge life throws at us, hoping for aid in helpless situations. The lyrics can also be interpreted metaphorically as a reflection of the chaotic world around us and the need to rely on others' help to overcome obstacles.

Been listening to this on repeat all morning, before college. There isn't a more perfect song. Every consecutive time I listen to this song, there's something new to it. The part from 1:37 makes me shudder every time.

a m a z i n g ! Thank you guys that you never stopped producing M U S I C (since Slumber -fallout album-, which is one of the best melodic death albums i heard-probably the best-). This is a musical art masterpiece full of emotions. Thank you again. ... and yes.. it is worthy to share this music with us. Because you make our daily life "melodic".
