Celldweller - New Elysium (Official Lyric Video) 

I'm so used to hearing this as a part of a "Turbo Killer" mash-up, it's weird hearing the original.

I love how Celldweller songs (and those of Klayton's other bands) paint such a story or scene in archetypes in the mind, encouraging you to link them to philosophical and story concepts rattling around inside your mind when you heard them, including other media as well as general tropes and concepts. They make me _feel_ creative, like ideas crystalize around them. Somehow this one always makes me think of the idea of a much more... low-tech, high-stakes and gritty than usual Eclipse Phase RPG campaign about an insurgency around Jupiter trying to destabilize the Jovian Republic from within, a story of those who saw the reality behind all the propaganda raging in desperate, likely doomed hope against the fundamental horror of an authority who deliberately decided upon mortality for its people when given the choice and cloaks its great atrocities of neglect and isolation behind manufactured religious fundamentalism and hyper-nationalism. Then again, End of an Empire songs in general put me into an Eclipse Phase mood, perhaps because I discovered both at a similar time and they share a lot of thematic overlaps. Space, life, death, transcendence, growth, constraint, societal collapse and diaspora, etc. The explicit, repeated biblical allusions in this one pin it at one particular place in that setting for me, though. Wouldn't make much sense anywhere else. It's also just a sentiment I really feel myself, honestly. "Fable of the Dragon-Tyrant" stuff. I'm _angry_ and bitter about mortality and injustice alike, and about people who use flowery ideals to argue against doing everything we can to make people's lives as long, easy, safe, and happy as we can. We're worth more than that. Little infuriates me more than those who try to fight the advancement of medicine or other technology that could make lives better because they feel it upends some divinely-appointed order, or try to deny people their needs under false notions of 'morality', putting abstractions of religion, ideology, economics, or state over the actual well-being of real people, which the abstractions were _designed_ to foster to begin with.
