Streamline Lyrics

Build me a future, splendid and graceful
Make it better by design
Perfected strategies, applied technologies
A brighter future, for a darker age

Forming a vision
Forged with great intentions
Generations yet to come
Aerodynamic dreams
Across the stratosphere
Foundation for tomorrow’s way of life today

Write a new world symphony
For the 21st century
The dawning of the age to come
Streamlined simplicity
The renaissance of humanity
Avenues of light to guide us home

Discard the old regimes, failed ideologies
Draw the lines and start again
Build towers that pierce the sky
The figurehead of individual minds
Horizons unlimited and unified

Potential overdrive
Free thought and open minds
As if beams of photons lit the night

Electronic alchemists
In the new metropolis
Delight in living through practicality

Write a new world symphony
For the 21st century
The dawning of the age to come
Streamlined simplicity
The renaissance of humanity
Avenues of light to guide us home

Write a new world symphony
For the 21st century
The dawning of the age to come
Streamlined simplicity
The renaissance of humanity
Avenues of light to guide us home

Leave this world behind
Retrofitted and redesigned
The dawning of the age to come
Streamlined simplicity
The renaissance of humanity
Avenues of light to guide us home

Cover art for Streamline lyrics by VNV Nation

This is one of the most beautifully optimistic songs I’ve heard. It evokes a modern version of “Metropolis” (without the social strata). It also reminds me of the “better living through science” movies of the mid century.

“Build towers that pierce the sky The figurehead of individual minds”

“Free thought and open minds As if beams of photons lit the night”

This speaks to me of individuality, independence and creativity and lighting the darkness of ignorance. I think this is a wonderful companion piece to “Airships”. It evokes the same feeling of wonder, hope and possibility.

I am a huge fan of this new album
