Siddhartha 2 is a melodic, chaotic, and sample/collage-driven experimental/avant-garde/industrial metal album consisting of a range of themes including neurodivergence, embracing queer/trans identity, not being afraid to be your authentic self or be seen as "cringe", and cherishing friendships. Most of these themes are portrayed sonically rather than lyrically, through the use of samples from various media I enjoyed as a child (e.g. My Little Pony, Ninjago, Minecraft: Story Mode, Yu-Gi-Oh!, etc). The album is also both sonically and thematically portrayed through a late 2000s/2010s internet lens (hence the album cover and many of the samples) as a lot of that era was what inspired most of the songs :)
