This particular song is about mutation, change, and transformation. It explores the capacity of adaptation, from an absolute point of view, as being a key feature for survival of species. Everything is in constant change and expansion and we can be a part of it.

A long time ago, she was deeply marked by an episode of BBC Life where you could see all the different strategies plants have to survive and reproduce, making her realize that nature is always adapting to find methods to survive. As well as a BBC Planet Earth episode on the abyss fish who have adapted to the complete darkness by creating beautiful light.

In this song, her fictional character Juan, after understanding nature is a part of him, can finally take action in order to mutate into the final chapter of this story. He will find himself going back to the beginning of the cycle, but this time, from a different perspective. He is now facing the next version of himself, and is ready for the ensuing fight. Letting go of the structure, he will be uprooted from the human concepts that were blocking him, and surrendering to his next cycle.

Dontmesswithjuan commented: " This song is very special to me, it represents the moment (that can come back many times), when I can take action on the knowledge I took from nature and apply it in my own personal process of trying to be a better human. After a childhood where it was so difficult to get me outside the house and off my Super Nintendo console (smiles), my drawing books, or my inner world, I feel extremely lucky to have been able to connect with nature through my travels, and as a child would be in awe of every little living thing surrounding us, that is all part of us. Falling in love with simple beauty and being amazed by wonder, might it be just a little plant growing through a concrete sidewalk. Watching ants, insects, and plants, there is endless learning that we can get from the techniques of survival and the adaptation of all the different species living on this planet. It reminds me that the best I can do is adapt, transform and be in a constant mutation. ".
