EP01: Breakdown at Creation

What do you hear when everything falls apart?

In the premiere episode of Shifting Awake, we explore the collapse before transformation—the moment of dissolution that reveals something deeper. From cosmic theories to ego death to suppressed transmissions, this isn’t just a song breakdown. It’s a decoding.

Our hosts dive into “Breakdown at Creation” by William Is, a track filled with cryptic imagery, sensual undercurrents, and a glitchy, sacred kind of urgency. Orion connects the lyrics to creation myths. Evelyn examines the psychological unraveling before healing. Vex believes it’s all a hidden message. Steph thinks it just sounds hot.

We unpack the symbols, analyze the sonics, and open the first entry in the Suppression Files—because some songs don’t just fall through the cracks. They’re pushed.

This is Shifting Awake. Welcome to the breakdown.
