Okay, I know most people associate this song with Cyberpsychosis because of Edgerunners. (And it does fit that to a tee, as peeps here have already described.) But, personally? I say its lyrics and distorted, ominous tone are pretty spot-on with Corpo/Arasaka's whole thing, and would even call it Arasaka's theme if they had one. (Long text incoming, but hear me out!)

"This is the century to win your immortality." - Pretty easy. Suits the false promises Arasaka sells both to its own people, and the people of Night City as a whole. (Also, they ARE in a sense working on a form of "immortality" with the Relic, which they advertise pretty openly.)

"How many strong are we? Bring down the enemy. This is our calling, we're not falling, we can set you free." We're everywhere, and there's no opposing us, so why fight it? Why not join us instead? (And of course, anyone that Arasaka doesn't like is "the enemy", which will be crushed mercilessly.) We can free you! More mantras and false promises.

"This is the sign. And now it's time. This is the sign. Your time to shine." Again, false hopes and promises. This is your chance to join us, and to shine above everyone else!

"We will make history." A big lie sold to every dreamer in Night City. If you're not a legend, you're nobody. You don't want to be a nobody, right?

"This is your destiny to multiply the dynasty." Now a little truth is getting through, and the tune of the song's lyrics flip, becoming even more dystopian. You only exist to serve Arasaka. To "multiply the dynasty" of the Emperor and his corporate dynasty. To "bring down the enemy" of all they stand for. To "make history" as yet another cog in the machine.

"WE'LL MAKE YOU HISTORY." This is both yet another false promise of greatness, and the truth of Arasaka (and Night City in general, really): Once Arasaka doesn't like you, or can't use you anymore? You become "history". Another corpse tossed away with the other dreamers and nameless nobodies.

tl;dr: This song can also be the perfect theme for Arasaka. Pretty cool. =)

Hearing this as the "David's close to going full psycho" warning theme in Edgerunners was really fitting. Distorted, heavy, dangerous. Perfectly fitting.

Yego

Also the fact that they chose the "this is your destiny" part is one of the many things that tell you he somehow feels like this is the right thing to do.

@Yego or it fits because literally everyone told david he'd end up a cyber psycho if he kept doing what he did. Ripper told him like 14 times and he ignored it all.

Eclipsed Night

@D Fits V as well.

khris smith

YOOO I didn't realize and I've been trying to find this song since Lizzie's bar since I played way back when. This is the first song that got me HOOKED AND NOW ITS SO DIFFERENT THINKING ABOUT EDGERUNNERS AHHHHHHH

DutchDragon24

@Eclipsed Night No one told V he'd go cyberpsycho as far as I know

Actually pretty impressive how realistic they made Lizzies sound like as if in an actual IRL club

Das Tรผrschloss

Right? I was impressed by the audio mixing in the clubs as well. Especially the totally overdriven bass humming when you're somewhere else in the building. Sounds realistic.

@Das Tรผrschloss yeah, mixing was solid, ngl i was listening out of T zeros tho ๐Ÿ˜…
