| Zero 7 – Futures Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I had a completely different impression of the song from the first time I head it. The song is about the environment and how we are destroying our future. Each verse makes the historical links between science, capitalism, and consumerism. In each there is an act through which we take possession of something. But the aggregate of our individual actions is destroying the planet. And at the same time we have and idea, a myth of some future, the futures holidays, where things will still be able to continue much as they have been. The narrator questions, "Just let me know, where we go after the fall." The narrator doubts the myth. The the narrator states, "Where you go, nobody knows.' But like many of us the narrator continues to believe that there can be a way out. "Just let me know, Where to go, Where you go after the fall" When I saw the video I was convinced that I had it. I never even thought about it the way that others are. Now I begin to doubt. |
