Context: “Humanity's Fall and its Fighting Desperation” - Dystopian Empress serves as a grand central anchor. As humanity continues to pan out its destructive path, temporary coping mechanisms shatter, leaving them begging for hope and answers before the inescapable reality of the dystopia. Gibson evokes the role of the Empress, the Oracle, who prophesies the End Times yet remains nothing more than an observer watching the final descents of humanity in this Dark Regal Electronic Pop piece.
