Personal efforts to fight illusions, the courage to analyze various phenomena, reading to acceptance of changes and existing conditions, cooperation, and the journey to find true love to the resistance in them become the main topics they present in this album.

In another understanding, 'Waras Source' is a combination of critical anthropology logic and humanity with a mixture of anger, comedy, love, rebellion, and togetherness.

"Love and hope on the streets to the bed have been restrained. It's natural for people to move to find the truth and fight back," said Reza Hilmawan in his statement, Monday, March 3.
