they see a black & white world
they hide in the twilight
they are not what they seem
they look forward
they often are silent
they are a symbol of wisdom
the owls are not what they seem

The cover reminds me of the "Falling Man" photo taken during the 9/11 attacks and the overall vibe is "falling up while on a bunch of ketamine" degelle
