Trivia[]

  • The breakdown at the end of the bridge[1] in this track sounds extremely similar to the iconic stage clear theme[2] from Mega Man 2. This is most probably a nod from the composer, Jake Kaufman, to Manami Matsumae who composed the level's original theme, Flowers of Antimony, although she only composed a minor part of a track in Mega Man 2.
  • Aqua vitae (Latin for "water of life") is an archaic name for a concentrated aqueous solution of ethanol.
