Future you,
Future me
You make the whole damn day feel longer
It's taking me over, It makes me feel older
Creature you,
Creature me
I shed my coat,
But it turned winter
Just look at the weather
It's raining forever
But I could stay,
Stay in this luxury cage
Wouldn't that be great
I don't think so (I don't think so)
Yeah I could stay,
Stay in this sparkling fake
Stay in this beautiful masquerade
I don't think so (I don't think so)
Future you,
Future me
I shut myself out from the world now
The sounds getting so loud
You're making me spin round
But I could stay,
Stay in this luxury cage
Wouldn't that be great
I don't think so (I don't think so)
Yeah I could stay,
Stay in this sparkling fake
Stay in this beautiful waste of space
I don't think so (I don't think so)
Future you,
Future me
I guess I'll have to set my sights higher
I'm too near a liar, It makes my feel tired
But I could stay,
Stay in this luxury cage
Wouldn't that be great
I don't think so (I don't think so)
Yeah I could stay,
Stay in this sparkling fake
Stay in this beautiful waste of space
I don't think so (I don't think so)

    As in more songs on 'speedballads' I think it is a sarcastic view on the (Western) society we lived in end of last century. Everything was possible, money had to be earned (or gained) as much as possible and then men could live in eternal luxury. Wouldn't that be great?

    Love this song, and many others on the album.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
