Future Warrior Lyrics
I slipped into your sight,
but didn't feel anything deep inside.
Then looked out,
through clean eyes,
but didn't see anything that I liked.
The closer I am,
I notice something's wrong with you.
The closer I am,
I know there's something wrong.
You have destroyed it,
destroyed it.
I climbed into your mind.
I didn't find anything there worthwhile.
I switched back to realize,
I notice something is still not right.
The closer I am,
I notice something's wrong with you.
The closer I am,
I know there's something wrong.
I know there's something wrong with you
You have destroyed it,
destroyed it.
We let go tonight.
Let us through tonight.
Let us through.
Let us through.
So we can both remember.
So we can both remember.
but didn't feel anything deep inside.
Then looked out,
through clean eyes,
but didn't see anything that I liked.
I notice something's wrong with you.
The closer I am,
I know there's something wrong.
destroyed it.
I didn't find anything there worthwhile.
I switched back to realize,
I notice something is still not right.
I notice something's wrong with you.
The closer I am,
I know there's something wrong.
I know there's something wrong with you
destroyed it.
Let us through tonight.
Let us through.
So we can both remember.
So we can both remember.

"Future Warrior." The title, in context with the lyrics, refers to someone fighting for the future of a decaying link between two parties. The other party is to blame for this decay it seems, as Chino jumps between the internal world of the other and himself he comes to this conclusion. He's wistful. He's angry that the other is destroying it all. He starts to resent them, hate them even, and he wishes to "let go" of all this enmity. He wants to break through the membrane of silence and emptiness and go back to how things were, or at least ruminate on the past with the other to salvage whatever they can from the wreckage and rebuild. Thus, fighting for a future. Now, the "other" that I mention could be a variety of things. In the filmclip, a woman's chasing after a man who won't look her in the eyes and just keeps running. When she catches up with him in the end, his eyes and hands catch fire and he touches her, then they teleport to some other dimension... Something like that. At face value, this could be about two people (the whole boy and girl fighting scenario) struggling in a relationship. It could also be interpreted as someone fighting themselves (the old "Looking in the mirror" scenario) and trying to change what they've become. The other alternative could be a general reflection of the human race and how we treat the Earth/each other. Who knows... Like everything, it's open to any interpretation.
Great song and band.
@wolfchun wow so the way u broke that down is pretty incredible! I offer a 3rd scenario, as I recently saw an interview where someone said that every song on this album is actually all about Chi Cheng being in a coma and what Chino was struggling with internally and even externally as his friend and band mate, lie in a coma right after the White Pony album catapulted them into stardom. So when I add that context to your breakdown I am like completely taken aback at how much it makes sense. "The title, in context with...

"The title, in context with the lyrics, refers to someone(Chino) fighting for the future of a decaying link between two parties. (Chino & Chi) The other party (Chi) is to blame for this decay it seems,(getting into the accident that landed him in a coma) as Chino jumps between the internal world of the other (wondering what Chi is going thru) and himself he comes to this conclusion. He's wistful. He's angry that the other (Chi) is destroying it all. He starts to resent Chj, hate him even, and he wishes to "let go" of all this enmity. He wants to break through the membrane of silence and emptiness (Chi was in a coma for 5 long years) and go back to how things were, or at least ruminate on the past with the other to salvage whatever they can from the wreckage and rebuild. Thus, fighting for a future." Which cant ever be done because he his heart stopped after being in that coma for 5 years.
I mean they didn't even release the songs from the album they were working on Eros when Chi got in the accident. So imagine the hope for 5 years that he would come out of it and then he didn't. That would be boggling and so painful. So wow wolfchun thank u for the way u broke down the lyrics because I think u hit it right on the nose. Very impressive.
Oh I just want to add that I'm sure Chino didn't hate Chi for any of it but he must've struggled with the thoughts creeping into his mind. And this song is just a form of creative expression to release those types of thoughts.

O I really fu##ing love this song. I love the hole album. I love Chino's voice and his soul that i can hear in Palms. Isis is also one of my favorite bands of all time. So this combination is so fu##ing amazing! I hope that you guys will come to Holland. Xx
Great band. Chino is so dope!
