The Dawn of Neohumanity: A Vision of Transcendence and Transformation

Scar Symmetry's song 'Neohuman' delves into the concept of a new form of human existence, transcending the limitations of our biological bodies through technological and cybernetic advancements. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a 'neohuman' who is mesmerized and immortalized, destined to inherit and dominate the Earth. This transformation is not merely physical but also intellectual, as the neohuman is infused with a strange equation and cybernaut signals, symbolizing the integration of advanced technology and artificial intelligence into human consciousness.

The song explores the theme of time and its deceptive nature, suggesting that while time may try to conceal the end, the truth will eventually be revealed. This truth is the realization that the seeds of hope planted by technological advancements can also become seeds of death. The neohuman is portrayed as a network-based meta-intelligence, independent of the environment, capable of surviving and thriving in a new world order. The old ways are depicted as withering away, making way for a new era of enlightenment and rebirth.

Scar Symmetry also touches on the fear and resistance that accompany such monumental changes. The lyrics speak of a rising fear within, shattering the noosphere, and the bitter loss experienced as old creations are phased out. However, the song ultimately celebrates the advancement to a new global state, where past ways are left behind, and a new age of light is ushered in. The neohuman represents the culmination of humanity's desire to merge with machines, achieve eternal life, and become nano-tech gods, sculpting away the features of mankind to create a new, superior form of existence.
