Future Shock
Bang Lyrics

Can you feel those tidal waves
Do you sense the overwhelming force of change that threatens to wash away everything you know and hold dear?

Slashing knifes of endless change
Rapid and painful transformations are cutting away at stability; there seems to be no end to the chaos.

Screwing up your patterned lives
The routine and predictability you’ve come to rely on is no longer reliable, and it feels like your entire life is being derailed.

Raining down wretched strife
Conflict and misery are constantly falling from the skies, making life feel like an unending barrage of suffering.

Hashish dreams - Junkie screams
People are seeking escape from their problems through drugs and other unhealthy means.

Crocodile tears - Escape your fears
People are pretending to care about others’ struggles while actually being driven purely by their own anxieties.

Apathetic nine to five
A dull, meaningless job that drains people of all passion and purpose dominates their daily lives.

Cashing paychecks to survive
The pursuit of money is the main motivation behind people’s hard work; survival depends on having enough material wealth to get by.

Vandals lurking in the streets
Dangerous, destructive people are constantly present in public spaces, seeking to intimidate and hurt others.

Gloat behind their worthless feats
Those causing harm take pride in their immoral actions, even though their accomplishments are ultimately hollow and meaningless.

Teenyboppers idolize
Young people have shallow, superficial aspirations and look up to role models that embody the same qualities.

Cash and carry packaged highs
People are seeking temporary pleasure through easily accessible, commodified sources like consumer products and intoxicants.

Figurines stalk your space
People are increasingly objectified through a culture of consumerism, where even one's most intimate spaces become filled with material objects and representations of people.

Home is nothing but a place
The concept of a loving, familial home as a safe haven crumbles under the weight of societal change and increasing fragmentation.

Fearing ours will be their fate
The threat of something terrible happening to someone else looms over us, causing a sense of shared fear and anxiety.

Those across the water wait
People outside of one's immediate environment are facing similarly uncertain futures, and the possibility of their suffering is palpable.

Creeping tides mount their shore
The spread of societal decay and decay reaches increasingly close to previously stable and secure people and places.

Ominous rumble groans to roar
A pervasive sense of anxiety and foreboding increases, culminating in a slow and threatening rumbling that feels as though it will never cease.

Hashish dreams - Junkie screams
People’s desperate need for an escape from the overwhelming pressure of change and strife continues, leading to more drug use and self-destructive behavior.

Crocodile tears - Escape your fears
People continue to put on a show of emotional concern without truly engaging with the overwhelming need for deep, substantive change.

Crying-dying Future Shock
The present is in shambles, and it seems like there is no hope for the future as long as this level of chaos and superficiality remains the norm.
