The title of their most recent song (An Iceberg 《一座冰山》) is inspired by an Icelandic film "Noi the Albino." The film tells the story of a young man who has lived in Iceland all his life and wants to escape from that place, where the nights are longer than the days, to live on a tropical island.

Although many strange things happen in the course of the film, the local people are accustomed to these peculiarities. And so, the inspiration of the lyrics comes from this movie. Born in subtropical Taiwan, the band similarly faces the changes in the environment that others may think are good, while in reality can be quite painful losses.
