In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Atomic fallout scans the sky
Another placve where people die
And with the massive final punch
We left a wound of pain
And now pollutions everywhere
Another death is in the air
A million people left alone
Down in their desperate, blackened homes
Tomorrow there'll be no sun
Hanging up in the sky
Tomorrow all dead and gone
And I wish I could fly
We are lost, in the future, we are lost
In a dream we can't control
No way
So tell me now computer god
Is there a way to leave the quod
On this merciless ride
When someone faces he will die
We plug our lives into machines
And as they're guiding our dreams
Weªã individually lost
As we are nailed to our cross
Tomorrow there'll be a sun
Hanging up in the sky
Tomorrow I'm dead and gone
Oh I wish that I could fly
We are lost, in the future, we are lost
It's a nightmare, we are lost
In the future, we are lost
In a dream we'll never see
[ Solo: Both / Henjo / Kai / Both ]
All hope is lost, but nothing gained
We're crying again
Is this the end ?
Lost, in the future, we are lost
It's a nightmare, we are lost
In the future, we are lost
In a dream we can't control
We're lost, so lost
We're lost, so lost
We all are lost !
Another placve where people die
And with the massive final punch
We left a wound of pain
And now pollutions everywhere
Another death is in the air
A million people left alone
Down in their desperate, blackened homes
Tomorrow there'll be no sun
Hanging up in the sky
Tomorrow all dead and gone
And I wish I could fly
We are lost, in the future, we are lost
In a dream we can't control
No way
So tell me now computer god
Is there a way to leave the quod
On this merciless ride
When someone faces he will die
We plug our lives into machines
And as they're guiding our dreams
Weªã individually lost
As we are nailed to our cross
Tomorrow there'll be a sun
Hanging up in the sky
Tomorrow I'm dead and gone
Oh I wish that I could fly
We are lost, in the future, we are lost
It's a nightmare, we are lost
In the future, we are lost
In a dream we'll never see
[ Solo: Both / Henjo / Kai / Both ]
All hope is lost, but nothing gained
We're crying again
Is this the end ?
Lost, in the future, we are lost
It's a nightmare, we are lost
In the future, we are lost
In a dream we can't control
We're lost, so lost
We're lost, so lost
We all are lost !

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Pretty obvious, but I got to post just for this... mwahahah you heard this funny part in the middle? never thought Kai was this silly :p
' Does our highspeed,hightech development really make things better or easier or are we just forced to run and struggle even more?'
