The comments above are great. I always found the most meaning in the final words, which I always heard as "we are not the only ones" but the text says "I know I am not the only one" This song came out the same year as John Lennon's "Imagine" which says, "you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope some day you will join us, and the world will be one". Future Games taps into the sense that I am not the only one dreaming these dreams; it is communal too, or least it was in those times, as well as reminding us of the games we play around our fears for the future. And in this song the sounds and melodies of these future games are incomparably more evocative and visionary even than in "imagine". |
