"I'm one of those people who only realize much later how low they felt. I only realized 2 years ago, when the sun was starting to shine in my life again." The album's inevitable main theme is homosexuality, and Denturck's coming to terms with being gay. "It is one thing to accept yourself, it is another to realize that you don't need the acceptance of the world." A very personal song is Pride, game da Denturck da na'ura mai ban sha'awa daban-daban a cikin jima'i da aka jima'i.
