• Some more information about the music in respect to the demo. When I first saw the initial video (which was up to the part with the swimmers hanging from the strings), the visuals gave a trully dark and suffocating mood.
  
  At that point I decided to write a tune that would contrast the whole dark mood instead of enhancing it, giving an ironic sentiment of what us greeks call "Harmolipi" (meaning joy and sadness at the same time), and this is why even the song title (Afternoon Stroll) contradicts the demo title.
  
  Throughout the demo, visuals and music battle with each other to set the dominant mood (sad or happy) and in the end it's up to the viewer who won =)
  
  Personally, I believe that even though the main protagonist (who is not Phelps but has at least equally good lungs for such a deep dive) dies and his soul flies to the stars, the visuals give in to the music and set a generally happy mood.
  
  Besides... as the protagonist leaves this world, another life is being born to form a new cycle. It's no mere coincidence that the last scene takes place in the Lifeforce mountain with the bicycle and the tree.
  
  Finally the lyrics (sung by Matilda) refer to the dependancy of human beings from each other, and how a connection to one alter one's personality to feel and think of things greater than he/she is.

• Well keito, it's some allegory in greek words with dual meanings that are not easily translatable to english without making the english lyrics look like a wikipedia analysis =) Of course rhyming and rhythm is totally lost as well =)

• Keito, the lyrics lose a lot when translated from greek, but here it goes anyhow:
  
  Ten thousand stars in front of me
  like light-blue paper pins holding/keeping my dreams..
  ...true
  ...carefree
  
  Between my teeth I hold a leaf of spearmint
  I close my eyes and see the world...
  ..with colors
  ..transparent
  
  Maybe I am...
  ...a ray of sunshine, ...a god long forgotten
  
  Maybe I have...
  ...let a heartbeat skip, ...fallen asleep in your arms again
