Lyrically each song on the album reflects a personal and intimate aesthetic of emotions: exploring the pains and delights of relationships, existential angst, fleeting youth and a simmering dissatisfaction of modernity. Musically each song packs a cool left-field punch of pure pop sensibility.

The form of need found substance in "Follow the light", an album with the soul of contrast, darkness and light, good and evil, life and death.
