"The solo ‚Enjoy the Pain' is about the suffering of the inside of a person. It deals with the moment in which anguish has become so intense that it takes over the body, including the memory of an absent person and the will to destroy oneself. Finally, the piece is about finding pleasure in pain, because pain reminds of our existence and that we are still alive."
