David Fischer Now this is a track that I'd expect and love to hear on 89.7 Growl FM! It is beyond me that Afterlife didn't make it into the game, but Noctica definitely deserves all of your attention and support nonetheless. A killer effort, combining atmospheric EDM, gothic and certain Motionless In White vibes. A potential classic for the dark and dystopian future, this should not be missed! I will absolutely keep my ears open for Noctica. Great work!

about

AFTER LIFE

Originally written for CD Projekt RED's game Cyberpunk 2077 as part of the Growl FM contest. We had to write and record a song in one month under three minutes inspired by the game.

Afterlife my attempt at writing as if Noctica was in the universe. Originally wanted a guest artist to do the second verse but I ran out of time and just used my own voice. It's a bit different to what I want to put out there but it was a fun experiment for a game I really enjoy.

LYRICS

I do not care if I live or I die
It all the same when this life’s not mine
Don’t wait for me on the other side
I’ll be claiming my place in the afterlife

Eternal life is just a disease
We’ve all caught the bug and we’re down on our knees
Praying to our gods made of ones and zeros
Dysphoria from our very own flesh and bone
I’ll take a chance
I’ll Break the cycle
Chrome the fuck up!
I’m not going cyber-psycho
The rats in the gutter will chew on our bones
Cause the nameless will all find their way back home

I do not care if I live or I die
It all the same when this life’s not mine
Don’t wait for me on the other side
I’ll be claiming my place in the afterlife

I’m a Cyber-werewolf
I forgot the sheep’s clothes
In my villain arc
cos this city got too many heroes
carbon copy clones
in the chrome
R.I.P the G.O.A.T
to be written on my tombstone
Don’t give a damn
That there’s blood in the sand
Silverhand with the bands
Yeah we’re taking a stand yeah
You know I’ll die for the fans
It’s all a part of the plan

Cut me up
Shoot me down
Choom we’re fucking chroming out
Jackin in’
Ice is bust
Edgerunning right to the top
Gunna need that platinum
trauma team for when we drop
Maxtac on my block
But we’ll never fucking stop uh

Call the fucking ripper-doc
Time to tune my vision up
future getting dark ‘saka slipping up
I’m a cyberpunk
Feel it in my heart
I’ve been Underground from the start

I do not care if I live or I die
It all the same when this life’s not mine
Don’t wait for me on the other side
I’ll be claiming my place in the afterlife
