"Nathan Adler," sebuah lagu yang dibawakan oleh David Bowie, melukiskan dunia digital yang semarak dan misterius. Lirik lagu ini memperkenalkan karakter-karakter eksentrik dan penuh teka-teki seperti Old Touchschriek, seorang peretas yang dicurigai sebagai pencuri data; Ramona A Stone, seorang pengedar obat yang memanipulasi pikiran; dan Leon, seorang sosok misterius yang memicu kekacauan dengan sebilah parang. Dengan latar waktu yang tidak pasti dan narasi yang terfragmentasi, lagu ini menjadi eksplorasi yang membingungkan tentang konsekuensi dari kemajuan teknologi dan nature manusia yang tidak menentu di era digital.
Nathan Adler Lyrics
David Bowie
Old Touchschriek was
the main nameserver
Suspected of being a shoulder surfer
But he didn't know from shit
About challenge response systems
Now Ramona A Stone we know was selling
interest drugs
She got males all hung up
on her mind filters
She was if you don't mind me saying so an update demon
Now Leon
He couldn't wait for 12 o'clock midnight
He jumps up on the stage
With a criss criss machete
And slashes around cutting a zero on everything
I mean a zero
in the fabric of time itself
Was this a suspect?
I says to myself
Woa! "Quelle courage!"
Oh wait, I'm getting ahead of myself
Let me take you back to
when it all began
the main nameserver
Suspected of being a shoulder surfer
But he didn't know from shit
About challenge response systems
Now Ramona A Stone we know was selling
interest drugs
She got males all hung up
on her mind filters
She was if you don't mind me saying so an update demon
Now Leon
He couldn't wait for 12 o'clock midnight
He jumps up on the stage
With a criss criss machete
And slashes around cutting a zero on everything
I mean a zero
in the fabric of time itself
Was this a suspect?
I says to myself
Woa! "Quelle courage!"
Oh wait, I'm getting ahead of myself
Let me take you back to
when it all began
