Cover art for Futures lyrics by Zero 7

"Made a note of it" a political idea resonated with you "Did you write it on your hand?" on a protest poster, or social media "Put a name on it" a Party, candidate, or other key figure "To help you understand" the association to complete the programming "Well do you see" consider a different perspective "The futures holidays are for me" I'm looking beyond the struggle to a future without it, where all are holidays "Just let me know "Where we go "After the fall" I'll be still be with you then, when this whole system crashes "Like the sound of it" the appeal of the slogans, the vision "Gonna hang it on your wall" a poster, flag, bumper sticker "Turn and run with it" motivated to action, spread the meme "For the sake of one and all" going to save the world with a vote "Where you go nobody knows" susceptible to suggestions, you could believe anything

The character sees most accepting a binary political landscape; it consumes them and controls their behavior and relationships. They don't see it all crumbling. The character, however, does and so imagines a hopeful peace in futures without that manufactured struggle.
