Easter Eggs, Inspirations, Hidden Meanings etc.

1. The concept behind 'download' is each poem represents an application, topic or a part of social media that I've downloaded in my phone. But also it represents the truth that I want to download (poetically engrave or apply) onto my life and tell it to other people too.

2. 'festive_funeral' is a poem in 'Daydream' that didn't make the cut, I think that it's too dark for an album like 'Daydream'. I placed this opening poem as a symbolism of rebirth.

3. 'bold_lines' is a continuation of 'festive_funeral' but with a different point of view and outlook considering that they both linger the idea that the world is ending.

4. 'sepia_polaroids' represents a photo and how a simple picture could tell a story, like how a  vintage photograph could bring back so many memories. The poem is all about the 'love triangle syndrome' as I would like to call it, that we've been taught that the other girl stole the man. Even if it isn't true in most cases, the man is the one who started the affair and the woman was also a victim of infidelity. Because a mistress will always be defined as a mistress whether you change or not.

5. 'mobile_legends' is an alteration of intent and content of the popular mobile game 'Mobile Legends'. This poem also represents the significance and the influence of YouTube to the 21st Century.

6. 'retrograde_flicker' is a representation of a video, and also how a movie or a certain video could represent something in our lives. It could be childhood, love, peace or even a nightmare. It also focuses the topic of LGBTQ+ Families and how a family isn't specified through marriage or even heterosexuality. And how Same Sex Union can contribute not only to LGBTQ+ Couples but also to the less fortunate children in orphanages.

7. 'sinasamba_Kita' represents the app 'Bible' in the 'download' album concept.

8. 'deafening_echoes' represents audio in the album, and how some sounds aren't music to ears but more like a screams of a banshee.

9. 'Volume_44' represents the SAF 44 tragedy or massacre, it is also an appreciation and gratitude for all of the soldiers that risked their lives just to keep the country safe and sound as much as they can.

10. 'bird's_eye_view' is the movie that the deceased parents in the 'retrograde_flicker' story directed and created.

11. 'GIF' stands for 'Graphics Interchange Format' but in this album it stands for 'Greed, Infatuation, and Fractures', because it represents the flow of the story. How greedy they were for money and lust, they mistakenly thought infatuation was love, and how they get fractures for the love that has been cursed since the very beginning.

12. '256k' is inspired by two Taylor Swift songs which are 'All Too Well' and 'Dear John'. And added together 2+5+6=13 which is Taylor Swift's lucky number and birthdate.

13. 'insufficient_storage' serves as a part 2 of 'education?' and it also uses a line as a callback which is "Education isn't a question that we can't answer anymore." because in 'education?' the line was "I guess education is just another question to let other people answer tomorrow...".

14. In 'bold_lines' the musical legend referred in the poem is Taylor Swift, because the line "When you are young, they assume you know nothing." is from her song 'cardigan' that got a lot of nominations for awards and the album 'folklore' is awarded 'The Album Of The Year' and the best album of 2020 from various sources and critics.
