In true prog rock tradition this EP has a concept. It views humanity's fragile nature and relationships with itself and with its home planet through the lens of the classical notion of the four elements: fire, air, earth and water.

The first track, "Prometheus", is associated with the element fire and deals with the themes of creation, birth, and the rapid advancement of the human race as its collective knowledge advanced from the mastery of fire to its present day science and technology and the damage that we do when we use this power without considering the consequences. Referencing the classic story of the titan Prometheus who defied the gods and gave us the gift of fire.

The second track, "Black Swan", is associated with the element air and deals with the themes of language and intellect, beauty and art and how we are able to deify or demonify with our choice of words. The title references the character Odile from Tchaichovsky's "Swan Lake", portrayed as sinister and seductive in contrast to the innocent white swan, Odette. Destructively assigning positive or negative traits to a person or thing, based purely on its colour and all that implies to the human experience throughout history.

The third track, "Rhudda Gawr" is associated with the element earth and deals with the themes of war, death and destruction as humanity continuously competes for superiority and dominion over Earth's resources. The title refers to the red giant of Welsh legend who fought with King Arthur. He demanding that Arthur cut off his beard so that he could use it to mend a hole in his cloak, which Rhudda had fashioned from the beards of the other 26 kings of Britain. After defeating him, Arthur commanded that a cairn be built over his body - Gwyddfa Rhudda (Rhudda's Cairn). Eventually the name of Rhudda was forgotten and Gwyddfa Rhudda became known as Yr Wyddfa (Mount Snowdon).

The fourth and final track, "The Infinite Sea", is associated with the element water and deals with the themes of love and compassion as basic essentials if we are to survive as a species without making our home-world uninhabitable. The title, as mentioned in the track details, refers to the divine, the infinite, the unknown, the source of love that is available to humanity if it chooses to seek it.
