In an interview with the site aaabackstage.com, it’s said that “in Abeyance the main character goes and visits a shaman in order to drink a special liquid that is meant to help bring back youth.
However, something goes wrong, and he is taken all the way back to a point before he was born…”

“A lot of our lyrics tell stories which are purely made-up, of course with various sources of inspiration.

Abeyance is one that’s essentially a short story, drawn from our imagination.

It depicts an old man who has ventured to a distant place to visit some sort of elder or shaman. He has done so in the hope of ingesting a potion of sorts. This drink is intended to assist him in journeying back through his life to his youth – possibly only through triggering those memories. He experiences this, however it happens too rapidly and too strongly. He finds himself falling through his first moment, and into an abyss. The song ends with his terror at realising that he has somehow regressed further than he had hoped – and at the fact that he can see that there may be no way back."
