In this episode of Shifting Awake, the crew dives into the song "Sanctuary"—a shimmering, otherworldly track from William Is. At first glance, it's a synth-drenched goodbye. But beneath the surface? Something stranger.

Orion traces the song's mythic roots, Evelyn unpacks the psychology of departure, and Steph wonders if it's just a moody breakup anthem in disguise. Meanwhile, Vex insists it's a transmission—evidence of a jump into another dimension, with Vega as the beacon.

From trance states and time distortion to interstellar yearning and spiritual clarity, Sanctuary becomes a map of both emotional and cosmic escape.
