Stain the Canvas, formed in Milan, Italy, in 2019, have quickly made a mark with their self-produced, ferociously raw sound.

Telling the story of a young relationship in turmoil, 'Limbo' delves into the complexities of two individuals who have parted ways yet secretly continue to yearn for each other. The song poignantly captures the essence of their emotional tug-of-war, questioning the nature of their lingering feelings and the possibility of reconciliation. The lyrics portray the aftermath of their literal emotional limbo, creating a haunting yet exhilarating auditory experience for listeners.

"Limbo is about two lovers ending their relationship but they both secretly miss each other. When they start to suspect their love is still alive, one is more convinced to go back together while the other one vacillates.”

Enhancing the song's emotional depth, the production features Stain The Canvas’s signature dynamic rhythms and emotionally charged vocals. This rich, evocative soundscape draws listeners deeper into the emotional complexity of the narrative, amplifying the sense of melancholy and unresolved desire that permeates the track.
