Night City Rebel

by Rebecca Dawn

/

about

Music single inspired by Cyberpunk 2077 and told first-hand by the in-game character having a convo with Johnny Silverhand, and based on the revelations of Delamain about Beauty vs Truth/Good (what it’s like to be an AI in a human world). Also a real-world commentary.

lyrics

Corpo greed’s insatiable
It knows no satisfaction
Got us fighting in the streets for food and medicine
So what’s your faction?
Living in reaction
Struggle for survival
So we got no plan of action
Trick us into fractions
Dead end elections
Tell us this surveillance is
For our own protection
Dichotomies, hypocrisy
Inequity systemically
All in the name of
The economy
It’s a concept
A motherfuckin' concept
Literally
Killing the Earth over a concept
Where’s the fuckin' logic
Honestly, I’ve lost it
And when I lose it then
I’m the one who’s causing conflict

I keep six on that mercenary tip
In over my head so I keep it lit
I’d rather die as a rebel
Than live as a hypocrite
I keep six on that mercenary tip
In over my head so I keep it lit
I’d rather die as a rebel
Than live as a hypocrite

What is Truth? What is Good?
These questions get so hectic
Beautiful is universal, transcendent aesthetics
Relentless in my search, I won’t go without a fight
I can’t deny I love the way, she looks at night

Hours of my life with you
Feel your psyche breaking through
This city’s got me feeling blue
I know for a fact that you feel it too
Hours of my life with you
Feel your psyche breaking through
This city’s got me feeling blue
I know for a fact that you feel it too

When pain is all I know
How can I ever grow
On with the show
Stack that scratch, get some more
When pain is all I know
How can I ever grow
On with the show
Stack that scratch, get some more

I keep six on that mercenary tip
In over my head so I keep it lit
I’d rather die as a rebel
Than live as a hypocrite
I keep six on that mercenary tip
In over my head so I keep it lit
I’d rather die as a rebel
Than live as a hypocrite
