Dear Future Historians Lyrics
I never walked on the moon
I never saw the pyramids
I was never struck by famine or fortune
I'll never experience the world you inhabit
I'll never experience the world you inhabit
I never swam with dolphins
I never sang from a mountain top
I was no inventor and no archaeologist
I fret not, I fret not
For I made my own discovery
I fret not, I fret not
For I made my own discovery
I fret not, I fret not, I fret not
I fret not, I fret not, I fret not
Just put your weight on my shoulders
For when I dive into your iris
My brain erupts into biochemical mayhem
...And I feel like a man with two hearts
With two hearts
I fret not, I fret not
For I made my own discovery
I fret not, I fret not
For I made my own discovery
I fret not, I fret not, I fret not
I fret not, I fret not, I fret not
Just put your weight on my shoulders
Put your weight on my shoulders
Put your weight on my shoulders
Put your weight on my shoulders
Put your weight on my shoulders
Put your weight on my shoulders
Put your weight on my shoulders
I never saw the pyramids
I was never struck by famine or fortune
I'll never experience the world you inhabit
I never sang from a mountain top
I was no inventor and no archaeologist
For I made my own discovery
I fret not, I fret not
For I made my own discovery
I fret not, I fret not, I fret not
My brain erupts into biochemical mayhem
With two hearts
For I made my own discovery
I fret not, I fret not
For I made my own discovery
I fret not, I fret not, I fret not
Put your weight on my shoulders
Put your weight on my shoulders
Put your weight on my shoulders

Well, so, in my opinion this song is about conformism with the world we have with a subtle touch of despair and melancholy.
"Today's world is consequence of yesterday's acts."
So I think Enter Shinkari is being cynical here when they say "Put your weight on my shoulders". In other songs like, for instance, "Gap in the fence", they encourage people to do things and to change the world we live in and this one looks to me like totally the opposite. Hence the irony.
Anyway, as I was writing this, it came to my mind the idea that he could actually be saying the contrary. Maybe he's telling the future historians: "Hey, be grateful because you live in a cool nice world thanks to our efforts, you're welcome"
Just some thoughts :)
