what is anamorphosis?
anamorphosis is an optical illusion — an image that appears to be warped unless viewed from a specific angle.
the song follows the same theory. almost like a puzzle. everything looks gnarly and contorted until one day you wake up on the wrong side of the bed and you finally see the shape of the abyss and its pretty eyes staring at you. only then will you fall into its mouth.


instruction manual

how to see anamorphosis:
on a train. on the bed. or on the floor.
play anamorphosis. look at the ceiling and cry.


excerpt from harminia's diary:

i could've looked at jellyfishes.and i wanted to fly to tokyo and go to the aquarium.but i passed out on the floor. in and out of anamorphosis.on the last day of recording, i was on the train.
and i cried.
what is all of this but evidence i crawled out of it?this is all i know about the abyss.
