I think that Lost may be Scott, and this isn’t original but the circumstances may be? Hear me out.
It’s a pretty popular theory that Lost is Syko, and another popular theory that Syko is just Scott as a synth, I believe that Lost is showing Scott immediately after becoming Syko.
The music video begins showing Scott waking and the scientists reactions being “He’s alive!” It’s a pretty obvious reference to Frankenstein’s Monster. This book is about a man who created a nameless monster out of human body parts, which became a living sentient being. This creature was then severely neglected, and became a monster due to trauma. Frankensteins monster is also (technically) a zombie, which could reference Scott being a voidling, and now a living being out of many (likely non human) body parts. Syko then begins attacking the scientists, probably self defense. However, if he JUST woke up from attacking Selene, being a blood thirsty voiding wouldn’t he still be in that mindset? He’d still be disoriented, confused, and remembering his last actions before death and resurrection. He then runs away from the scientists and begins looking around the NexGen lab.
He finds a lot of oddities around the lab, finding a man who seems to be some form of voidling in the elevator, the two nurses and the man, and the many clearly drugged patients in the halls. He finds himself confused, scared, and in hiding in the lab. Constantly running into something new, that he likely didn’t know was possible. We see during the first main chorus people taking pills, which is likely p.u.s.s.-e which we could use to connect this song to Selene, and Selene to Scott, back to Syko. This also shows that yes, this is a NexGen lab, and that this is perhaps the same one Selene is in?
We also see the autopsy part in the music video, which could be reference to the fact Scott was dead, and is now alive. Then we see him pulling all the bodies of himself out of the morgue, this could be because Scott was a trail and error project. Perhaps the Syko in this music video isn’t the first one? Scott was already dead, and as far as NexGen cared he could stay dead. Unlike Rebecca he didn’t have a purpose like publicity, unlike Skys he didn’t have a purpose like power, unlike Strassman he didn’t have a purpose like knowledge, he was just a teenage boy. He could have been made a synth over and over again until perfect.
Now, the reason I’ve never posted about this theory is purely due to the end of the music video- because WHAT THE FUCK? No way can that tie into Scott, and so it actually lead me to believe this was Skys at first (which I will post this theory later dw) however I do think this can tie into Scott and here’s why. Selene and Scott could have been apart of the KINGSLAYER or projects. If this is true, then they could have been monitored to see is they were gaining powers at all, or they were planning on letting them get to a certain age to force powers into them. What if that’s what this is tying into? Likelihood is low, and I’d like for somebody to either argue me on that, or maybe make their own theory around this because I’m not to sure.
Now for lyrics, because while I think we all know how the lyrics are apart of this I want to put my own words and thoughts into it as well.
The lines that stick out to me the most are “Why am I this way?” “What the hell is fucking wrong with me?” “I’m so terribly lost” because if you woke up in a robotic synthetic version of yourself you’d know. You’d be able to tell the difference, you would be scared, confused, Lost. You’d wonder what’s different, or if you are even the same person as before. That would be utterly terrifying and I think the lyrics show his fear after becoming a synth.
