Design Manual

"Arcade" is an ethereal synth pop track with a strong 80s influence. The detailed synth production aims to replicate the immersive experience of playing a video game. The track's synth hook features the Juno 106, a staple in 80s bands and film scores. It pays homage to the era of the rise of home video games and vibrant arcades, capturing the nostalgic essence within its resonant tones.

Lyrically, "Arcade" delves into the concept of getting lost in a video game and consequently losing touch with the real world. It explores the contrast between the virtual and non-virtual realms, as well as the allure of seeking refuge in an elaborate, controllable gaming universe. The lyrics suggest that the protagonist has become enticed by the idea of immersing themselves in a virtual reality, where they can have control, as opposed to facing the complexities and uncertainties of real-life human connections.

The inspiration for the song's lyrics draws from various sources, including movies such as "Her," "Ender's Game," and "Ready Player One," as well as the Black Mirror episode "San Junipero." These works influenced the exploration of themes related to the blurred line between virtual and real experiences, the potential consequences of over-reliance on technology, and the desire to escape from a fragmented reality.

"Cult" stands as a pivotal piece within the overarching narrative of the sci-fi concept album “Ghost Complex.” Delving into the depths of a thought-provoking theme, the song explores the disturbing rise of the cult of personality in our increasingly image-driven world. It sheds light on the deceptive nature of appearances, unmasking the profound emptiness that can lie behind a manipulative individual's facade. Drawing parallels to the haunting gaze of psychopaths, the lyrics paint a vivid picture of eyes that peer beyond everything and everyone. In the larger context of the album's storyline, "Cult" unveils one of the primary catalysts for the downfall of the fictional world of "Ghost Complex"—a pervasive reliance on fallacies leading to catastrophic consequences. Inspired by films like "American Psycho" and “Wall street,” the song boldly confronts the overwhelming influence of the cult of greed, reigning above all other considerations.

Cult

I don't wanna miss you
I wanted to know that you'd understand
That I don't wanna miss you
But oh, whatcha waiting for
And I don't think anyone could care more
I'm not gonna kiss you
Anymore times
Experiencing love
In the way you lie
We're just human
Don't forget you owe me
For reminding you you'll die
I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna
The ocean blooms
Over your shoulders
While I'm just tossing by the wayside
There's a secret to your majesty
I wanna know it
'Cause I can't let you forget me
But oh, whatcha waiting for
And I, I just wanna see you care more
I'm not gonna kiss you
Anymore times
Experiencing love
In the way you lie
We're just human
Don't forget you owe me
For reminding you you'll die
Not gonna
If I am lost then who are we
Society not built to see
The atom bombs and families
That kiss the summer sky
The infants and the mystery
You're sizing up mortality
And lying here, It's clear to me
That I don't wanna die
I'm not gonna kiss you
Anymore times
Experiencing love
In the way you lie
We're just human
Don't forget you owe me
For reminding you you'll die
Are we really here
Do you really trust me
Feel a little older in the summertime
The ocean blooms over your shoulders
But you won't die
