Hyperaptive - Message To The Future lyrics

[Verse 1] Dear listener, I'm recording-this-tape For you play back at any time, or-any-place Whether to me you're an advanced, or still an ordinary-race Whether the world I know thrives, or it morbidly-breaks I'm hoping this message'll-last A way for you to revisit your inaccessible-past I wish knowing your life was more than a guessable-task And I could see your world, but here's an impression-of-ours We just past our millennia's-birth Another thousand years many-have-worked Died, tortured, lied, to have control over any-of-Earth Now we're settled in our various-turfs But is settled the word? I wouldn't say we're too stabilized Though that's the view in most of my 1st world neighbours-eyes Living unaware, consumer driven labour-lives With no sign a smarter age'll-rise Unless we sway-the-tides! Some say we're entirely-lost That we try and see our future maniacally-squashed Just quietly-watch The I.Q of society-drop It's like our leaders want intellect and sobriety-blocked! Just keep your values materialistic And if you ain't chasing money then you're merely-a-misfit f** changing the world, that's nowhere near-realistic If life's deeper than this, it's clear-we-all-missed-it... [Hook] But by the time you're hearing this tape This world could be a dream, just an inferior-place Maybe we're long gone, leaving merely-a-trace Maybe we grew strong with superior-traits But if this is in theory-a-taste Of what can come from this intellectually weary-a-race Then I wish that I could vanish from this year-and-be-placed In a time where all the problems I see here-are-erased [Verse 2] We are dust in an ocean-of-stars Yet that we're advanced is one of the notions-of-ours Blind to the galaxies, hence our devotion-to-mars Trapped in the system, falling down the same slopes-from-the-past And we've barely pa**ed the ravages Of world wars, a bit further back and the average-is Arranged marriages And war-torn-savages Last century it was candles and horse-drawn-carriages! But in the last century-alone We've achieved more in terms of the lengths-we-have-grown Than our entire evolution's essentially-shown! We're aliens to our ancestors rudimentary-bones! And with the technology that's sure-to-rise I can only guess, but barely fathom the sort-of-lives That you may be living, we could soon be immortalized! The fact I'm probably gonna miss it all leaves me mortified! Stuck in the most crucial era-we-face Our fates Hang on the right moves or errors-we-make Cause the worlds of utopia and terror-we-base So much fiction on, ain't necessarily-fake Our potential is limitless f** nay sayers, disbelievers and cynisists Cause in centuries to come we'll all be primitives This world's a mystery with no room for difinitives... [Hook] [Verse 3] The past was once painted and described-in-words But we're the first, to truly have our lives-preserved Each caught in the web, having our lives-observed Letting the future forever see how our lives-occurred Makes me wonder who's playing-this-back A thousand years from now will you hear what I say-in-this-track? And if it is staying-intact How much of what I've spoken will still weigh-in-as-fact? Cause with the change Earth's-seen In the last millennia, 3013 Will be far removed from what people hearing this first-deem To be normality, something like an absurd-dream Are you under government policies? Are there still murders, poverty fueled robberies? Do you still hold capitalistic ideologies? Are there countries? Or are they just forgotten oddities? Do you still k** each other in colonies? Do the majority, still follow religious prophecies? Do you use the money of our economies? Are you still taught there can't be equality? Cause right now, I see us as prenatal-at-best A new born species, in it's first capable-steps Unsure if our future will bring good or fatal-effects I just wish that I stay for the rest... [Hook]
