Fire Emblem Engage OST - Bright Sandstorm (Calm/Fiery Mix)

A Tribute to Gary Numan, inspired by the track Replicas - https://youtu.be/3kdefBY9-PU

The song comes from his 1979 album Replicas, which was actually based on a half-written science-fiction novel Numan was sketching out at the time. The novel (never completed) described a near-future city controlled by machines, with humanoid “Machmen” and android “Replicas” designed to replace or control humans. Think Blade Runner vibes, but darker and more claustrophobic.

Lyrically, Replicas is about these synthetic beings who are physically similar to people but lack real human emotion or individuality. They’re manufactured to maintain control, almost like soulless replacements for us. The “you’re just a replica” line cuts straight to that eerie sense of dispossession — that humans are being swapped out for something cold, programmed, and compliant.

On another level, many fans (and Numan himself in later interviews) have said it also reflects his own feelings of disconnection at the time. He often wrote about not feeling “real” or “authentic,” being alien in his own skin. So Replicas blurs that boundary — is it about robots taking over, or about being human but feeling like a machine?

It’s dystopian, but also strangely intimate — which is why it still feels so haunting today.
