Cover art for Magic vs. the Machine lyrics by Nextdoor Neighbors, The

This song reminds me of the movie "Blade Runner." Especially these lyrics:

"Now I heard man-machine say, 'We're just tears in rain.' "

Which echoes the android in the movie who says, "All those ... moments will be lost in time, like tears...in rain."

Also, all the references in the song to memories, which were a major part of the film. The lyrics "I know there's a way To keep these gears from rusting But my memory grows dusty And the muscle falls away."

seem to describe the search of the androids for a way to extend their four-year lifespan, even as they are dying.

Is this a coincidence?
