"Atlas" is Pjos' second single, and the first he wrote himself. Its nostalgic melodies, swirling guitars, and washed-out drums — reminiscent of bands like Slowdive, Cocteau Twins, and Mogwai — transport the listener
to a world that feels both familiar and otherworldly. The lyrics explore themes of childhood trauma and escapism: It describes how the protagonist used atlas books as an escape from a violent home environment.

This theme is mirrored in Greek mythology's Atlas, who carries the weight of his burdens throughout his life. Lines like "How many tears and stars must fall to heal my heart?" evoke the emotional depth of the song. The astronaut dialogs over ethereal strings in the song's outro symbolise the protagonist's journey towards resolution and hope.
