Digital Girl from 4 & 5 by Midnight Atmosphere
The song "Digital Girl" by Midnight Atmosphere, with lyrics and melody meticulously crafted by bassist Ryan Nickum (2015-2024), serves as a sobering reflection on the perils of societal decay and moral degradation.
Through subtle yet discernible political undertones, the lyrics echo the sentiments of traditional values under siege by the relentless march of modernity. The protagonist grapples with the consequences of their past missteps, haunted by the specter of societal collapse and the erosion of time-honored principles.
Amidst the chaos, there's a palpable sense of resignation and acceptance, as the protagonist confronts the harsh reality of a world teetering on the brink of moral bankruptcy.
In the midst of this turmoil, the juxtaposition of the "Digital Girl" and the "caveman" symbolizes the clash between technological advancement and primal instincts, highlighting the discord between modernity and tradition in the face of societal upheaval.
Through its introspective lyrics, "Digital Girl" serves as a cautionary tale for those who dare to challenge the sanctity of tradition and the enduring values that have sustained society for generations.

Lyrics
I don't have the words in front of me,
All I've done wrong
Comes back to haunt me.
And why can't I seem to seal this away?
The thought of you
Comes back to haunt me.
I wash my hands of grease, will it arrive?
Achance for me to make amends with you.
Your image,
My nightmare,
I can't leave you behind.
The summit of my concern.
The inevitability of our demise.
Society's walking the plank.
You are the one on my mind.
I know you're a Digital Girl,
and you know I'm a caveman,
evolving right out of my stone age world,
do you like what you see?
I know all about Plan Z
I wish you never decided to tell me.
Go and mary a Canadian man,
live in the cold northern land!
All the thing youll never say to me,
I'm kidding myself.
If I wait for December,
who knows if thats a stretch,
will the world get that far?
I promised myself,
I'd do it three years before.
I go too far
Somehow managed to swallow my tongue.
It's tipped with words I'll never say to you.
Your image,
My nightmare,
I can't leave you behind.
A new challenge lies in front of us,
But theres now no reason to face it alone
Apocalypse through guillotine
it won't take me!
I know you're a Digital Girl,
and you know I'm a caveman,
evolving right out of my stone age world,
do you like what you see?
I know all about Plan Z
I wish you never decided to tell me.
Go and mary a Canadian man,
live in the cold northern land!
