Project Summary:
Munkination is an immersive story which places the audience member at the center of a futuristic adventure about climate change and the fate of humanity.
The project mixes styles and genres, combining AR/VR with a distinctive graphic world, and scored with a hybrid of hip hop/trap and opera resulting in a radically new sound and immersive experience.

What is the central theme/story behind the song?
the song is based on the concept of lucid dreaming. the singer (being me in this sense) is talking of a dream being almost too perfect to be true. the 'people' (or entities perhaps) are trying to convince her to stay in the dream when the persona isn't fully convinced it's the best idea. this 'dream' is set up to trap her and keep her in this dream state; where the 'entities' want her to 'take [their] hand, they don't understand you, no point in being human, just stay here'. the persona is having a tough reality atmo and is tryna weigh out the options for living in her reality of stay in her dream.
