A blend of cool electronic landscapes and intimate, human-scale songs mirrors a future where immortality is real but equality and purpose remain unresolved. The instrumental opening moves from the machinery of resurrection into the lonely city; the vocal half brings in Hildy's frustration, the ghosts' social marginalization, and small flashes of connection and defiance.
