Ghost by Fonoptikon & Night in Athens

Infectious synth arpeggios and atmospheric pad infusions pair with an enthralling vocal performance from Night in Athens. The lyrics provide a thought-provoking investigation of identity, technology, and the blurred distinctions between people and machines. They look into existential dread through raw bodily horror and philosophical terror about humanity's extinction as a result of technological singularity. To deal with the intellectual horror, the song seeks out sentiments of fear Anxiety, Loneliness, Darkness or even possibly Hope.

Lyrics

Trapped in a loop of virtual echoes
Chased by the ghost of tomorrow
A semi human with circuits for veins
And a heart beating in binary
Her eyes glowing with the flicker of screens, reflections of a fractured reality
Her movements fluid and precise
A siren calling out to lost souls
Lost in the dark of data streams, searching for connection in a world of disconnection

Eyes like empers
Soul in chain
Ghost in shell
Feeling pain

Whisper at night
Cold and stark
Wanting to break
from the dark

Bound by regrets
Takes its toll
Haunted by chaos
Lost control

Ghost in shell
Silent and tall
Phantom shadow
Heeding the call

With strength untamed
Emotions refreshed
A saviour forged
In iron and flesh
