Ephemeral Passage by Avhath & KUNTARI
At its core, Ephemeral Passage is a profound meditation on the fragility of existence and the duality of hope and despair. The album chronicles the protagonist’s journey through a metaphorical tunnel—a passage fraught with fear, doubt, and fleeting moments of clarity. Each step toward the light represents a struggle to confront inner turmoil, mend the fractured self, and embrace the possibility of redemption. But when the long-sought light is finally reached, it is not the salvation expected. The light becomes blinding, unsettling, and overwhelming, raising more questions than answers. In this disorienting brightness, truth becomes elusive, and
fleeting moments of triumph are shadowed by haunting realizations of mortality and impermanence.
Through visceral lyrics and intense soundscapes, Avhath & KUNTARI craft a narrative that reflects the paradox of human existence: the relentless pursuit of meaning amidst inevitable decay.
Ephemeral Passage doesn’t resolve; it lingers in the liminal space where fleeting beauty and painful truths collide, urging the listener to be present in every transient moment—even as the answers remain just out of reach. This album captures the universal struggle of finding purpose in the ephemeral and the bittersweet nature of the light at the end of the tunnel.
