World Keeps Spinning (A Chronic Future) Lyrics
Stationed in hollow basics
This world will never face it
We'll keep participating in community wide face lifts
To cover up our problems
One government won't solve them
I'm on this groove to soothe this wrinkled face of earth revolving
I passed an adequacy test
Actual fact is I'm impressed
At the pattern of people popping up to help us do the rest
These are not movie sets
These are physical streets
Becoming more tired every time history repeats
Now it seems that we've run out of time
The wold keeps spinning on this fragile mind
Now it seems that we've run out of time
Oh the world keeps spinning what you said
The world keeps spinning what you said
I think they got it planned
How to ruin our lives
Turning truth into lies
We approve the disguise
They're just moving our eyes
We just simply don't stand
Up for oursleves against the upper hand
And pull it out their plan
Now it seems that we've run out of time
The world keeps spinning on this fragile mind
Now it seems that we've run out of time
The world keeps spinning what you said
What you said yeah
You will never know
Where are we going
I don't know anymore
Where are we going
I don't know anymore
I'll just continue to circle
Why?
It's confortable doing what been done before
This world will never face it
We'll keep participating in community wide face lifts
To cover up our problems
One government won't solve them
I'm on this groove to soothe this wrinkled face of earth revolving
I passed an adequacy test
Actual fact is I'm impressed
At the pattern of people popping up to help us do the rest
These are not movie sets
These are physical streets
Becoming more tired every time history repeats
The wold keeps spinning on this fragile mind
Now it seems that we've run out of time
Oh the world keeps spinning what you said
The world keeps spinning what you said
How to ruin our lives
Turning truth into lies
We approve the disguise
They're just moving our eyes
We just simply don't stand
Up for oursleves against the upper hand
And pull it out their plan
The world keeps spinning on this fragile mind
Now it seems that we've run out of time
The world keeps spinning what you said
What you said yeah
You will never know
I don't know anymore
Where are we going
I don't know anymore
I'll just continue to circle
Why?
It's confortable doing what been done before

Wow, I can't believe there are no posts about this song. This is definetly one of my favorite ones on the album. In my opinion, the song is about a superior being, in this song, they say the government, but I think it could be taken as God. The superior authority plans everything as if it was a movie set, but it's real life. As real as it is, the world spins the same way over and over as life and history repeats itself in the same manner. We are just continuing what is planned and we don't stand up to it. The phrase Chronic Future in itself can be taken as recurring infinite time. The final lines of the song seal the deal for me when they discuss being comfortable just "continuing the circle" and not knowing/caring. But, that's just my take on the song and what it means to me. I'd love to hear other opinions. Sorry for any errors, I was really tired when I did this.
haha i always made our volleyball team warm up to this song before our home matches
to me, the song is about how there are so many pressing problems in this country, yet many of them remain unchanged. I feel like polluting the environment is one that they're really poking at in the chorus and in the line "I'm on this groove to soothe this wrinkled face of earth revolving". People buying into the propoganda the gov't spews out, history repeating itself, all that good stuff. I might be wrong though.
^^ I agree.
