Owl City – This Is the Future Lyrics 14 years ago
I love how everyone has interpreted this song so many different ways; I'm sure that was partly intended by Adam also. So I will share this song means to me. (Coming from a Christian point of view.)

"Wake up on your own
And look around you cuz you're not alone"
-This means, in my opinion, that you need to wake up and get back to reality and realize that you're never alone, because God is always there and will never leave your side.

"Release your high hopes and they'll survive
Cuz this is the future and you are alive"
-I interpret this as relating to prayer. "Ask and you shall receive"-type thing. Pray to God, and ask God for things, and the outcome will always be good, whether its how you planned it or not. & Thank God that you are alive. You are SO blessed to be here.

"Dive in and swim away
From your loneliness and miserable days"
-Forget about the past, focus on the future. (God has already forgiven you, if you ask him to.)

-And, obviously the same as above, except:

"Cuz this is the future and you are alive
You're headed home"
-I think the last paragraph here, where it repeats the first is kind of like you have now accepted Christ and be thankful for you life you have here. You are on the path to Heaven.
