Lyrical themes
editAccording to vocalist/guitarist Asger Mygind, the lyrical themes of Inmazes deal with entrapment:[7]
The album tries to capture this feeling of being trapped in mental mazes and not being able to fully experience happiness, basically. How is this struggle visualized in your own mind and how do your surroundings react to the behaviour caused by it.
