Asaf told the story behind it and he explains, āTheseus the hero, one of the four great heroes going to slay the minotaur inside the Labyrinth and Ariadne the princess helping him by giving him a ball of yarn so he would tie it to the entrance and find his way out again after he defeated the beast. I often wondered what would happen if he didnāt take that ball of yarn. If he was too proud, too brokenā¦too meā¦to except that giftā¦too suspecting. He would be stuck thereā¦hearing her footsteps as she dances above that Labyrinth waiting for him.ā
what makes the song so moving is the way the chorus progresses. It doesnāt repeat but it builds. He starts with, āOh Ariadne, I am coming, I just need to work this maze inside my head.ā Then, he changes it from āinside my headā to āinside my mindā to āinside my heartā and as he goes through the song the character slowly gives up. He abandons Ariadne. Thatās what makes it so sad. He isnāt the triumphant hero, he was too proud to accept her help and has to live forever with his mistake.
Oh Ariadne, I was coming, but I failed you in this labyrinth of my past
Oh Ariadne, let me sing you, and weāll make each other last

I cannot listen to this song without crying. Like, ever. The emotion is so terribly raw, and the musician is laying himself completely naked before our eyes. I love how under produced it is, and Avidan allows us to hear the breaks in his voice, and the holes in his soul. This song is a gift, and a candid glimpse of a conversation between a man and a goddess.

I had to stop dark and listened to this on repeat for 30 minutes.
