If you are talking about the word "Neodammerung", it's a mystery. However...
"Neo" is the main character and "dammerung" is German for "twilight"... and since that is what the entire song is about (Neo's Twilight) it is possible that that is the meaning.

It "pays hommage" to Wagner's "Götterdämmerung"

It's a "hommage" to Richard Wagner's opera "Götterdämmerung" from "Der Ring Des Nibelungen".

Davis' score definitely doesn't deserve such an honor.
