about

William Gibson's novel "Neuromancer" (1984) galvanized our initial concept of putting the Cyberpunk vibe to music.

This is the first part of the [neuromancer] song cycle.

lyrics

1:

Gonna use tonight
That's just the way I'm wired
Permanent adrenaline
In Night City, I'm never tired

Play it fast and loose
With the speed that I've acquired
She's here to hurt someone
That's just the way she's wired

It's consensual
projected hallucination
I See it in my sleep
These waves and waves of Information
These waves and waves of Information

2:

Slap the switch and go
Connects to, your point of view
Secondary sensations
I feel what the way you feel too

Flatline construct
A digital death, a virtual voodoo
Systematic separation
Gives me real time review

C:

The loop ends and begins again
The loop ends and begins again
Time bends and determines when
The loop ends, it ends and begins again

The loop ends and begins again
The loop ends and begins again
Time bends and determines when
The loop ends, it ends and begins again

3:

Leagues of black mirror
No grid - no cyberspace
The far rim of consciousness
Rushes up to meet my face

There's a part of me stuck
Copy of a copy in this place
A memory, eternally
Even though it's only a trace

It's consensual
projected hallucination
I See it in my sleep
These waves and waves of Information
These waves and waves of Information
