Silver Future Lyrics
Hey little cookie take a walk my way
I like to hear what you have to say
You know the truth and your so put together
Baby I could stick you on the lip of forever
Even a volcano has a price to pay
What kinda creature do we have here
It feels like love but it smells like fear
Look in the mirror baby what do you dream
Look at it harder now and you start to scream
We finding out what drives your machine
You stand on the edge of a silver future (x2)
Hey no we don't let go we all need a daddy (x4)
Live in the mirror baby you are the dream
You smash that fucker now and you'll get so clean
Come on and show me what drives your machine
Hey no we don't let go we all need a daddy (x4)
You stand on the edge of a silver future (x4)
Hey no we don't let go we all need a daddy (x8)
I like to hear what you have to say
You know the truth and your so put together
Baby I could stick you on the lip of forever
Even a volcano has a price to pay
It feels like love but it smells like fear
Look in the mirror baby what do you dream
Look at it harder now and you start to scream
We finding out what drives your machine
You smash that fucker now and you'll get so clean
Come on and show me what drives your machine

Or possibly
A relationship that is one sided, in which one side is afraid of the other, even tho, on the outside it looks like love.
Personally this song makes me think of a psycho. "Hey little cookie walk my way" is the psycho looking at his victim, Silver Future represents what he is going to do and how he is describing it as being something glorius and beautiful. The rest is the insane logic of someone who is contemplating murder.
I care to answer. Silver future means getting old. not only young girls are called baby. I mean it, take it into consideration when listening to other MM songs. I also could have written a song like this to my father. It feels like love, but it smells like fear. A father fearing his own child. father don't really care to speak to the child (come on and tell me) Familiar. Mirror, man, it's a twisted picture of a father and a child facing each other through the mirror. and a bit more. these are so lively pictures, i could even see them as i write this. And the word of the title, future relates in such an unmistakable way for a song conception of time. we all need a daddy. man, everyone has a daddy. not some girlabuser wyndorf talks about. if you don't beleive this, ask the author himself. and i'm not even a native speaker.
"Hey little cookie take a walk my way I like to hear what you have to say You know the truth and your so put together Baby I could stick you on the lip of forever Even a volcano has a price to pay"
He's picking her up and asking her on a date. "hey little cookie, take a walk my way".
"I like to hear what you have to say." He wants to listen to her, not just love her for her body.
"You know the truth and your so put together Baby I could stick you on the lip of forever" She's smart, she understands how to control men. She's done all that she can to make herself as attractive as conceivable. She knows how to act mysterious. He could "stick her on the lip of forever", perhaps because of her ambition for something vague and "out there". Femme fatales want to preserve their mystique. In keeping with the astronomical theme that Wyndorf alludes to (to get a clue, he has another song called "space lord"), mystery has a connection to the cosmos. The cosmos is infinite. Someone who investigates a mystery, at first, feels as if they need infinite information to solve it, and this continues right up until they get the answer.
"Even a volcano has a price to pay" She's smoking hot, like a volcano. But even a volcano has a price to pay to the universe. It doesn't matter how hot or ambitious or strong a woman is. They cannot conquer the universe. Instead, they live in it like the rest of us, and they pay for the consequences that they create.
"What kinda creature do we have here It feels like love but it smells like fear"
It's the feeling that an attractive woman might feel if their plan is just to have sex with a man, and then leave soon after. The woman who wants to dig for the man's riches, feels fear. He will be angry when she leaves. She wants him to fall in love, and then leave him. The man also feels fear. Will she love me? If she's really attractive, that fear can be greater, because she seems like a bigger catch, one that other men will compete for as well.
"Look in the mirror baby what do you dream Look at it harder now and you start to scream" She looks in the mirror, and she dreams of success. Of fulfillment of some vague ambition for some large amount of money. But she looks at it harder, and then she can't see what comes after. What will she do with all that money? Will other men trust her after what she did? Will she ever be able to settle down because of this? Her future looks like an abyss if she ends up old and alone. For all her smarts, for all her time spent heading down this path, will it be worth it?
"We finding out what drives your machine" He wants to understand her, so that he can decide whether or not to give her the steady relationship that she really wants.
"You stand on the edge of a silver future" A silver future is one in which she may still have some money and some fulfillment, but not the Hollywood golden future of maximum fulfillment and maximum riches. It's also silver in the sense that when she gets old, she'll lose much of her sex appeal. She's standing on the edge, so she has to make her decision now, or while she's still young of body. Her future also tempts her mind, because she still seems to have a lot of time, because she's young. And yet, that's the trick of the devil - she really doesn't have a lot of time. It's deceptive. The silver future could be the glimmer of a knife's edge.
"Hey no we don't let go we all need a daddy" And yet, she's young, and this makes the decision more difficult, because it's still early for her. The man who wants to love her for who she is, and not only for her body, is the one who can help her make this decision. This doesn't mean letting go of her independence, however. Someone who loves her will still respect her freedom.
So it's basically a song that wants a compromise between the messaging of feminism and that of the anti-feminists.
Women don't need to be stuck in the home, but the pretty 8/10 and above, also shouldn't go thinking they can live how they want.
@j113949856 And the reason it sounds like a creepy song, is because it's basically poking fun at feminism. How feminism thinks this sort of thing is creepy, especially if it's a guy lecturing a woman about it. Typically they would critique such a guy as creepy.

Always fun to imagine Wyndorf leaning into the microphone and whispering with a lecherous look in his eyes, "Hey little cookie take a walk my way" :D

But does she really want the steady relationship? Or does she want money? Does she understand what really drives her machine? They're both finding out. That's a part of it too. That's why the song sounds so seedy. It's intimate, but there's a sense of anxiety over the unknown.

You can read the lyrics as many times as you want, but they're never going to make any sense.
i thought they did... then i sobered up.
I found this song was really depressing in the beginning, and when i first heard it a was also a little depressed and i related to it but then towards the end it sort of becomes angry and it makes me feel like go out and getting over my problems - But i have no idea what any of the lyrics mean...
i think the mirror represtents one of 2 things, cocaine (scream when she becomes an addict i suppose, perhaps shes a cokehead and hes telling her not to let go that she can beat it in a silver future), and through the looking glass (dream), but im probably looking too far into it
Whenever I hear this song, I think it's about child molesting or a girl abusive father or something like that.
The way for the girl to stop her pain would be to run away or kill her father. But she can't bring herself to do that for the simple fact that it is her father.
