‘Candles’ is a moment of reflection, a meditation on the quiet strength that comes from embracing vulnerability. The lyrics, paired with the delicate production, evoke a sense of stillness that invites listeners to sit with their own emotions, to acknowledge the flickers of light in their own darkness. It’s a track that feels deeply personal, yet universal in its resonance, embodying ASTIR's signature ability to transform intimate feelings into a shared human experience.

As the song progresses, its sonic textures begin to swell, yet never overpower the core emotional thread. The gentle, rhythmic pulse in the background feels like a heartbeat, steady and persistent, reinforcing the theme of quiet endurance. ASTIR’s vocal delivery remains both tender and raw, as if each word is chosen with deliberate care, carrying a weight of emotion that lingers long after the song has faded.
