The idea for that song was born from Malkav’s madness: https://suno.com/song/c743dda5-b4cb-4af8-90d3-e8001050b389 “The Odyssey Home” is the sequel to “外人 in Night City”: https://suno.com/song/512441dd-be80-4296-ae73-c165a3ab019d ————————- [Intro] *Starting in Nigh City* The holiday’s done, it’s time to go home, Saw wonders untold, yet missed much to roam. Who's Silversoul? A tale left for next round, There's a zoo where strange creatures abound. Met a drunk named Odysseus, lost and astray, Spoke of struggles to find his own way. “Poor soul,” I thought, as he drowned in despair, Hyperloop’s hum took me far from his stare. [Chorus] I boarded my pod, sat down and breathed deep, “Next stop: Elysium”, the speaker speak. The ride swayed gently, a cradle’s soft tune, I closed my eyes, just a nap until noon. “Welcome to Elysium”, the voice coos sweet, Doors slide open; I step out on my feet. [Verse 1] Where’s Elysium? Just fields all around! “A stranger!” they cried, soon gathered, spellbound. Achilles stared at my form, his armor grew dim Hercules challenged me — strength was his theme. His views on women have changed since that fight, Orpheus wept as my boom box played Bach’s delight. By night, a great feast — with laughter and cheer, We danced robot, beep-boop beats in the air. (1) [Chorus] Drunk, they shoved me onto the train, half-dazed, “Next stop: Elysium”, their voices crazed. Ambrosia hit hard; I clung to the floor, Fought nausea and dread — couldn’t take anymore. “Welcome to Elysium”, the voice coos sweet, Doors slide open; I step out on my feet. [Verse 2] Once again, chaos greeted me direct from the start, Five dice struck my skull — sharp pain hit my heart. “Intimidation, Manipulation! Succeed!, You’re dazed and confused; your blood I need” “I didn’t break Elysium’s rules, Primogen!” he cries, Before reflex struck — a kick knocks out his lies. He lay on the floor, the crowd stood in awe, I ran to my pod; enough madness I saw. (2) [Chorus] What the hell was this charade? Vampire: Masquerade? “Next stop: Elysium”, the voice softly played. I’m starting to worry, something’s not right, I just want to get home, why’s it such a fight? “Welcome to Elysium”, the voice coos sweet, Doors slide open; I step out on my feet. [Verse 3] At last, clean streets, white houses, so neat, Finally home! But wait, who’s armed on my street? A bald brute in armor, exosuit gleaming, “Not in my city!” I yelled, adrenaline streaming. My feet struck quick; next brute hit the floor, “A straw for your meals!” erupted loud roar. “CUT! CUT!” screamed Blomkamp, irate and obscene, I shrugged at Damon; movie became PG 18. (3) [Bridge] Turns out, finding home is a tricky plight, Was it a Mass Relay, cause that jump wasn’t right. Stranded in Vetus, alone and confined, How I made it back, only demons mind. (4) It dawned on me, could this be the case, As many Elysiums as Springfields in space? Annoyed, I sank down, met Milton’s sharp gaze, “Lost Paradise?” he asked — I barked, “SHUT UP!” in haze. [Outro] “Welcome to Elysium”, the voice decried. In that moment, I snapped awake, eyes wide, “Oh, SHUT UP TOO AND DIE!” I screamed at the call. … And here’s your answer, clear once and for all: “Do androids dream of electric sheep?” — Hell no. NOT AT ALL! PS: And I'm not quite that violent.
