Description
First, the siren goes off - and it's immediately clear that nothing good is coming. A voice emotionlessly announces self-destruction, like in a disaster movie where the audience knows the characters won't make it out alive. Then everything turns into a frantic rhythm, like a heart in a moment of panic: “heat, heat, heat” is repeated, as if the heat of the city itself is pulsing in your temples.
And there is a strange pleasure in this: the apocalypse turns into a dance track. Monsters have taken over the streets, but your feet are tapping to the beat, and the voice from the speakers no longer seems threatening, but rather encouraging. The result is a mixture of horror and disco, where evacuation is more like a party in the last minutes of daylight.
Lyrics and translation
Original
The self-destruction system has been activated.
This island will self-destruct in ten minutes.
All the personnel must evacuate immediately.
Repeat, all the personnel evacuate immediately.
September 28th, daylight.
The monsters have overtaken the city.
September 28th, daylight.
The monsters have overtaken the city. The self-destruction system has been activated.
This island will self-destruct in ten minutes.
All the personnel must evacuate immediately.
Repeat, all the personnel evacuate immediately.
