As Zeb listens more closely to the music, the synthwave track wraps around him in a cocoon of rich, layered sounds. The melody is carried by a strong beat that reverberates through the otherwise subdued atmosphere of the bar. The lyrics, nuanced and delivered with a slightly distorted electronic voice, thread a story of a neon-painted cityscape where dreams and data intermingle, a place both strange and familiar to the patrons of the Chatsubo. The words resonate with the rebellious spirit that pulses through the veins of the night dwellers, singing of a life both haunted and heightened by the digital ghost of an all-encompassing network.
