The Future Lyrics

To the end I'll never know
temperatures are rising slow

I came so hard in your mouth
I saw the future, it was dark
I know I'm not afraid
I'm consumed
And another thing
I'm still bruised

So it seems you're not my friend
Anything is better than

I came so hard in your mouth
I saw the future, it was dark
I know I'm not afraid
I'm consumed
And another thing
I'm still bruised

Nobody knows what I bring
Nobody knows

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is obviously about a relationship and the shaky and rough future to come. Sure, in this heat of the moment (sex) this relationship seems great and amazing, but the aftershock is it just goes downhill from there and the narrator is worried.
