"Unitary" is the brainchild of Johan Hansson coming all the way from Uppsala/sweden. Unitary is a narrative composed of order and disorder, longing with endurance and the dreams of imaginary bliss in an age of conformity. After bands such as Covenant", "Cat Rapes Dog" or recently "Necro Facility" sweden once more proofs that it´s the leading country for innovative alternative electronic pop music! Adter a first compilation appearance on "Infacted Compilation 1" and the vocal guest appearance for "Frozen Plasma" on the song "Ebb and Flow" "Unitary" present their first official studio album under the seal "Safe From Harm"! A sound mixture in between early covenant and modern influences of bans such as "Assemblage 23", "Frozen Plasma" or "Diorama". Twelve masterpieces on one album far away from todays uninspired electro hear-a-likes! Innovative electronic pop music with an edge!

Calm
Unitary Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You build a world designed to fall
Your stumbling faith has laid to rest
The breathing dark has made you calm
Your vanity and greed, relinquish now what you have claimed to be

The bright of day, embrace beginning
The fallen grace and none has won
Advance to break new ground

Resurrection will resound

The sad display and bitter clinging
When time is done your hope has gone
When trust won't come around
Then shed the thorny crown

The broken mind will keep you calm
A stumbling dream is laid to rest

You build a world designed to fall
Surrender your disease, and fragments of what you have claimed to be

Overall Meaning

In Unitary's song "Calm," the lyrics appear to be describing someone who has created a world for themselves that is doomed to fail. The first line, "You build a world designed to fall," suggests that this person has constructed a reality that is not sustainable and will eventually crumble, possibly due to their own actions or beliefs.

The second line, "Your stumbling faith has laid to rest," could refer to the fact that this person's faith in themselves or their ideals has caused them to become complacent, resulting in the downfall of their world. The following line, "The breathing dark has made you calm," seems to suggest that this person has found peace in the darkness or chaos of their situation.

The next lines, "Your vanity and greed, relinquish now what you have claimed to be / The bright of day, embrace beginning / The fallen grace and none has won / Advance to break new ground / Resurrection will resound," appear to be urging the person to let go of their ego and embrace a new beginning. The reference to "resurrection" could signify a rebirth, perhaps urging the person to change their ways and create a new, more sustainable world.

The rest of the lyrics continue along the same lines, with references to brokenness, surrendering one's "disease," and shedding a "thorny crown." Overall, "Calm" seems to be a call to action for those who have constructed a faulty reality for themselves, urging them to let go of their ego and create something new and better.
