Replicant Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Wintermut3 

Cover art for Replicant lyrics by Covenant

Some very strong specific allusions to Blade Runner.

Specifically Roy Batty's "Tears in the Rain" monolog also referenced in Covenant's song title "Tears in the Rain."

"too late to escape, too late to regret no time to hide, no time to forget lights blur shifting slightly, always the rain he's there hunting nightly, driven by pain"

References the ending scene in the abandoned hotel and Batty's monolog, especially the part about the shifting lights (from the overhead adblimp in the movie on the rooftop) and the rain.

"Comes to his maker as close as he can get," and, " burns fast shining brightly, dies in vain he's there, speaking lightly of life in pain" refer to the conversation with Dr. Tyrell, namely Tyrell's comment "the candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and you have burned so very brightly, Roy" and Tyrell's ultimate demise.
