In late 2015, it was announced that Keluar would play their last show. Zoè Zanias moved on to her solo project Zanias.

Vitreum
Keluar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
some say doomsday (in vitrea).
Carry on, carry on…
Sudden as ever, dreamt in crystalline,
feeding the ice
with shattered eyes:
velleity, my splintered hurricane
— how you sink and rise;
synchronised,
we'll fall in loathsome coils
of feathered rust again.
Carry on, carry on…
Cuts the air out in solid lines,
multiplies in curls and tines;
sudden as ever, dreamt in crystalline,
feeding the ice
with shattered eyes.
The song "Vitreum" is a hauntingly beautiful and melancholic piece by Keluar. The lyrics seem to speak of a world that is on the brink of an apocalypse, as indicated by the line "some say doomsday". The imagery of shattered and crystalline dreams, broken eyes and feathered rust creates a sense of decay and disintegration. The singer seems to be caught in the midst of this chaos, struggling to make sense of it all but ultimately resigned to the fact that they must "carry on".
The concept of vitreum (which means glass in Latin) represents the fragility and delicacy of life, which can be easily shattered or broken. The singer seems to be aware of this and is consumed by a feeling of velleity (a desire or wish that lacks substance or ambition) as they ride the tumultuous waves of a splintered hurricane. The final stanza speaks of the air being cut out in solid lines and multiplying in curls and tines, which adds to the sense of impending doom and destruction. Overall, the song seems to be a reflection on the transience and fragility of life, and the need to find the strength to carry on even in the face of apparent annihilation.
