Future
4everfreebrony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like I'm never going back
And I feel as if nothing will be the same
As if everything goes black
Call me out if it seems like I'm paranoid
Well, it extends beyond the eye
There's so much fear inside
What are the odds that I would find myself where I began?
(what are the odds)
How high is the chance of running 'round in circles now and then?
(what are the odds)
Maybe it's all in my mind, but it's about time I read the signs
Oh, it's about time!
It's about time!
What if all that I do is insignificant?
What if nothing matters now?
I would take back the time wasted if I could
But I don't even know how
All my worries have lead me to emptiness
But at least I've been around
At least it's over now
(what are the odds)
What are the odds that I would find myself where I began?
(what are the odds)
How high is the chance of running 'round in circles now and then?
(what are the odds)
Maybe it's all in my mind, but it's about time I read the signs
Oh, it's about time!
It's about time!

Something tells me my life is about to change
My intuition is hinting at a major transition in my personal life
Like I'm never going back
This change will create a new reality, never to return to the previous state
And I feel as if nothing will be the same
My perception of the world will be different as a consequence of this change
As if everything goes black
It will be symbolically dark as I try to navigate and pave my way through this newly formed path
Call me out if it seems like I'm paranoid
Please voice your concerns if you think I'm excessively anxious
Well, it extends beyond the eye
There are other factors that contribute to my anxiousness that are not visible to the naked eye
There's so much fear inside
I'm overwhelmed with fear due to the unknown outcomes of this major life shift

What if all that I do is insignificant?
What if my actions in life lack importance and significance?
What if nothing matters now?
What if I have no impact on the world and no purpose to move forward with?
I would take back the time wasted if I could
If I could, I would backtrack and utilize my time more efficiently
But I don't even know how
However, I don't actually know how to optimize my time and make a greater impact
All my worries have lead me to emptiness
All my concerns and worries led me only to feel even emptier and purposeless
But at least I've been around
At least I've had the opportunity to exist, even if it feels unfulfilling sometimes
At least it's over now
Finally, this chapter of my life has come to an end and I can move forward

I don't care about an upvote or whatever, but I just wanted to share with you how I'm thankful that you made this song.
Most artists or musicians in this fandom don't realize how much their creativity influences those around them, or impresses on others to do more. I used to be a Brony artist who got slightly popular, but I've fallen out of doing it because my art just choked itself to death. I also have a friend who has faced the same thing. Today, he told me that he was going to throw all of his save/root files of his artwork away forever and start over completely again because he couldn't face the weight of it all on his shoulders. The quality of his art felt like something he couldn't live up to anymore. I argued with him to not do this, as it would be like throwing parts of himself away forever. Finally, after hours of trying, I finally got him to reconsider.
All while listening to this song.
The lyrics you wrote feels almost like it's singing about the difficulties and hardships we've both shared in our art within this fandom. I can't tell you how many times I've felt like what I did was insignificant, and that it didn't matter. How I'd love to take back the time I wasted worrying about everything, and use it to make more art for people to share in. I can't.
But today, when I was listening to this song and helping a friend of my own, I found myself drawing again like I did when I first joined this fandom. You don't know what that means to me.
To borrow your lyrics at the risk of sounding cliched and corny, "what are the odds that I would find myself where I began?"
Maybe I'm just embarrassing myself, but I wanted to share. Thank you so much.

Let's go in the garden
You'll find something waiting
Right there where you left it
Lying upside down;
When you finally find it
You'll see how it's faded
The underside is lighter
When you turn it around;
Everything stays
Right where you left it
Everything stays
But it still changes;
Ever so slightly
Daily and nightly
In little ways
When everything stays.

I was also 16 around the time you made your comment too. We're 20 now (at least I am, dunno if ur 19 or 20 at the time of me making this reply). I was feeling the same thing that u did back then, that same fear. But now, We're both grown ups doing adult stuff and working. From boys to Men/girls to Women (idk ur gender). At least we got bittersweet memories of the time we were fans of MLP and the fandoms music that can take us back in time to those simpler days like a time machine. We just gotta keep moving, keep your head up.
Boutta do something ancient here in March 2023 but... Brohoof /)

I understood what he was trying to say, but it's still, by definition, a misuse of the term.

It's amazing to hear that my music has reignited a passion of yours. Usually I hear that it made someone cry, or maybe it made them smile, but this is awesome. Good luck with your artistic ambitions! I hope you and your friend can continue to make art like you used to. :)

Don't know why exactly but when i read your coment i remember this song...
@xXTenderTacosXx
you are one musician I have no problem throwing money at every time they release a song. Quality AND quantity - something you don't see very often in this fandom!
@HolidayTheLeek
Exactly!
@plazmikpond
Anyone here in 2019? I just rediscovered this once again and... The nostalgia is pretty strong.
@mlgproplayer2915

Also, I'm on a nostalgia trip again... XD
