The Unicorns: 2014
The Unicorns Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tomorrow is 2014
When I'll be 32
And we'll be 13
But will there be enough room for me?
Enough oxygen, for me to breathe

Oh yeah oh yeah

I looked in into my crystal ball
See gummies in the sunny
Riding moonbeams into money
But they're the guilty phase
Gluttony just doesn't pay
So volunteer your journey
It's good publicity

Da da da da da da da

In full force
In full stride
Side by side 'till 2025

In full force
In full stride
Side by side 'till 2025
Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Unicorn's song "The Unicorns: 2014" are interesting in that they pose a series of questions about the future. The singer starts by pointing out that in the upcoming year of 2014, he will be 32 years old, while the "we" mentioned in the song will only be 13. He then worries if there will be enough room and oxygen for him to exist in this strange future. This opening verse hints at the idea of the unknown and the potential to be lost in the ever-changing world.


The song then takes an astral turn with the mention of a crystal ball and gummies riding moonbeams to make money. However, the gluttony of this prospect becomes apparent, and the lyrics urge listeners to volunteer on their journey as it is a means for publicity. The bridge of the song repeats the line "in full force, in full stride, side by side" before leading into the final verse about being together till 2025.


The song reflects a sense of the passing of time and how the future can be daunting, but also that there is always something exciting and new that awaits. The mixture of the fantastical and the pragmatic highlights the complexity of life's possibilities, making for a somewhat nostalgic yet optimistic tune.
