'Tempus omnia consumit, et in sua ruina nos trahit. Tempus Ruinae est - Time consumes everything and drags us into its ruin. It is the Time of Ruin'.

With this lapidary phrase, XIII Nights introduces us to the concept of decadence, key metaphoric concept for interpreting the new Opera of the artist. In the symbolism of the track, the main figure that best describes the concept of temporal decay is a Roman bust, worn down by time but still standing despite the passing years. Furthermore, the Latin choice of title and the allegory refer to the artist's Italian origins.

The song presents itself as a nocturnal ballad, typically synthwave in its purest essence. With its reflective mood, cold sounds, and dreamlike atmospheres, Tempus Ruinae is the perfect song to savor while gazing at a lunar landscape.

In this case, the artist states that: 'Some tracks come out of my mind in weeks, others even in months. Tempus Ruinae, on the other hand, took just a few days. I had a clear idea of the kind of sound I wanted to evoke, and everything came out naturally and fluidly. I consider this track to be one of the most beautiful I have ever written and the one that best represents my emotional universe. Nostalgia, shadow, reflection, introspection with a note of terror. Tempus Ruinae is the track that most closely reflects my emotions and my temperament.'
