It never starts with violence.
It starts with something that makes sense.

How It Happens traces the quiet sequence that turns ambition into permission, belief into action, and action into consensus. Each track marks a threshold — a moment that feels reasonable on its own, harmless even — until the shape of the whole becomes impossible to deny.

This is a story told without villains. No madness, no monsters. Just incentives, shortcuts, loyalties, and the slow comfort of agreement. Gold gets heavy. Silence gets useful. History finds its voice.

The music moves the same way: restraint tightening into momentum, warmth flattening into certainty, individual voices dissolving into chorus.

Not a warning.
A pattern.

How it happens

In the myth, King Midas doesn’t steal power — he’s given it.
He asks for gold, and the world agrees. Every touch becomes wealth. Every desire is fulfilled. And that’s the trap.

Midas retells that story in a modern register: not as a fairy tale about greed, but as a warning about success without limits. About hustle that never pauses to ask what it costs. About shortcuts that feel small at the time, invisible even — until they add up to something irreversible.

This track watches someone rise. Someone admired. Someone who wins by being quicker, sharper, more efficient than everyone else. No single crime. No dramatic betrayal. Just a steady conversion of warmth into leverage, relationships into assets, people into means. Gold everywhere — until it starts to weigh more than it shines.

The myth matters now because we live in a Midas age: growth without end, optimisation without rest, value measured faster than meaning can keep up. We’re told gold is light. Liquid. Neutral. This song insists otherwise.

Midas isn’t about envy or morality. It’s about recognition.
The moment you realise the touch you wanted is the thing you can’t put down.
