Ergo Proxy
The story begins in a futuristic domed city called Romdeau, built to protect its citizens after a global ecological disaster. In this utopia, humans and AutoReivs (androids) coexist peacefully under a total management system. A series of murders committed by robots and AutoReivs infected with the Cogito virus (which causes them to become self-aware) begins to threaten the delicate balance of Romdo’s social order. Behind the scenes, the government has been conducting secret experiments on a mysterious humanoid lifeform called a “Proxy”. The Proxy beings (described as God-like and Immortal) are believed to hold the key to the survival of mankind.
Re-l Mayer is assigned to investigate some of the murders with her AutoReiv partner, Iggy. She encounters a Cogito virus-infected AutoReiv and a fast and flexible monster. She later learns that the monster was a Proxy. The other central character, an immigrant named Vincent Law, is revealed to be connected in some ways with this proxy. After being hunted down, Vincent lives for a while on the outside of the dome. He later leaves to Mosque, his birthplace, in an attempt to recover his memories. Re-l rejoins him to try to discover the truth behind the Proxies and the domes.

Linkin Park
Linkin Park’s “What I’ve Done” was included on the first Transformers soundtrack and was featured in the film’s trailer. Mike Shinoda first alluded to “New Divide” on March 28, 2009, stating “We’ve been working on a new song in the past couple of weeks that has been a lot of fun. The backdrop for the song is built on layered, heavy synths and a sharp performance by [the band's drummer] Rob Bourdon.” On April 24, Shinoda revealed that they were working with film score composer Hans Zimmer, writing various interpretations of “New Divide” to serve as thematic elements for the film. When discussing the Transformers sequel with Blabbermouth, Michael Bay said “I love Linkin Park… they really delivered with ‘New Divide’ — it’s a great song that perfectly matches the film’s intensity.” Parts of the intro were used in the final Transformers trailer.
Initially, the band wrote various “seeds” named after several Transformers. The seed the band liked the most and decided to work on to further develop into a song was called “Megatron”, which eventually became “New Divide”.
New Divide Lyrics
I remembered black skies, the lightning all around me
I remembered each flash as time began to blur
Like a startling sign that fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole, connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies across this new divide
There was nothing in sight but memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide, the ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes across this new divide
In every loss, in every lie, in every truth that you’d deny
And each regret and each goodbye was a mistake too great to hide
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole, connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies across this new divide
Across this new divide, across this new divide
