"The Waste Land," like "[[Return to Ithaka]]", is an instrumental. In December 2017, an early version of the song was leaked, along with the rest of the album. A clip from an in-progress version of the song was first previewed on [[May 28]], [[2014]], in [[Everything_Will_Be_Alright_in_the_End_-_Teasers#7._.3Dw.3D_7_.22The_Waste_Land.22|a teaser video]]. | |||
The song's title is derived from the [ | The song's title is derived from the [[Wikipedia:The_Waste_Land|1922 T.S. Eliot poem of the same name]]. The album's liner notes accompany the song's title only with the phrase "lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate", a line from Dante's ''[[Wikipedia:Divine_Comedy|Divine Comedy]]'', which translates to "abandon all hope, ye who enter". "The Waste Land" is grouped under the category of "[[The Panopticon Artist]]", one of ''EWBAITE'''s three explicit thematic groupings. | ||
Several demos of "The Waste Land" were released in [[2020]] as part of the digital demo compilation ''[[Alone XI: The EWBAITE Years]]'' in 2020. | |||
