Future Kill
Easy Rider Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yesterday when life was day to day
Things we took for granted
Somewhat ignorant and
Sheltered from oppression and of pain
Looking back at least I
Know how fortunate we were
Tranquil memories they
That won't dissappear
They're now all that I see
If I close my eyes
Just a moment I can fly away
Shot down from the sky
My escape is shattered by the hell I hear
A massive clap of thunder
Breaks the silence ripping through the streets
I reack instinctly
Running my heart pounding
Smoke engulfs the city
My eyes burn i'm gasping I can't breathe
Just what have we done
To bring this devastation
Future kill
Is this the end of things to come
Life stands still
It's now too late
Too late for discussions
Resolutions cast aside
How could peace prevail when
There are those so hellbent
In keeping their own people poor
And using greed for their sole gain
My thoughts shattered again
Screaming persons running through the streets
This day holds no mercy
Death is all that I see
As if in a nightmare
I feel as though i'm running standing still
Buildings crashing burning
Earth beneath me moving
[Chorus:]
Future kill
Is this the end of things to come
Life stands still
What have we done
[Chorus]
[Spanish:]
Futura Matanza
Parece como si solo fuera
Ayer cuando la vida era el día a día
Las cosas las dimos por sentadas
Algo ignorante y
Protegido de la opresión y el dolor
Mirando atrás al menos
Yo sé lo afortunados que eramos
Los recuerdos tranquilos
Borran las escenas desagradables
Que no desparecerán
Son ahora todo lo que veo
Si cierro los ojos
Por un momento puedo escapar volando
Disparados hacia abajo desde el cielo
Mi salida se destroza por el infierno que oigo
Un enorme trueno
Rompe el silencio asaltando las calles
Reacciono instintivamente
Corriendo mi corazón palpita fuertemente
Polvo envuelve la ciudad
Mis ojos arden, jadeo, no puedo respirar
Que hemos hecho
Para traer esta devastación
Futura matanza
Es este el fin de las cosas venideras
La vida se detiene
Ya es demasiado tarde
Demasiado tarde para discusiones
Resoluciones desechadas
Como podría prevalecer la paz mientras
Estén aquellos tan empeñados
En manterner a su propia gente pobre
Y usando la codicia para su propio beneficio
Mis pensamientos se destrozaron otra vez
Gente gritando corre por las calles
Este día no tiene piedad
Muerte es todo lo que veo
Como en una pesadilla
Siento que aunque corra no avanzo
Edificios se derrumban ardiendo
El suelo debajo mio se mueve
[Estribillo:]
Futura matanza
Es este el fin de las cosas venideras
La vida se detiene
Que hemos hecho
[Estribillo]
The lyrics of Easy Rider's song "Future Kill" paint a haunting picture of a once peaceful world destroyed by greed and oppression. The singer reflects on the past, remembering a time when life was simpler and they were sheltered from the pain and suffering of the world. But those memories are now overshadowed by the ugly scenes that won't disappear. As the singer tries to escape, their flight is cut short by the chaos and destruction around them. Smoke engulfs the city, buildings crash and burn, and people scream and run through the streets. The singer is left to wonder how humanity could have allowed such devastation to occur.
The chorus of the song asks a dark question: "Future kill, is this the end of things to come? Life stands still, what have we done?" The singer is looking at the world around them and seeing only death and destruction, wondering if there is any hope for the future. The Spanish translation of the chorus uses even stronger language, referring to a "futura matanza" or "future massacre." The singer seems to be feeling a sense of despair, as though there is nothing left to be done to save humanity from its own destruction.
Overall, "Future Kill" is a powerful commentary on the state of the world, and a warning about the potential consequences of unchecked greed and oppression.
Line by Line Meaning
Seems like it was only
The past feels recent
Yesterday when life was day to day
Life was simpler and more routine
Things we took for granted
We didn't appreciate what we had
Somewhat ignorant and
We lacked knowledge and awareness
Sheltered from oppression and of pain
We were protected from suffering and hardship
Looking back at least I
In retrospect, I understand
Know how fortunate we were
We were lucky
Tranquil memories they
Peaceful memories
Wash away the ugly scenes
Erase the unpleasant memories
That won't dissappear
That can't be forgotten
They're now all that I see
Those memories dominate my thoughts
If I close my eyes
When I imagine
Just a moment I can fly away
I can escape my current reality
Shot down from the sky
Brought back to reality suddenly
My escape is shattered by the hell I hear
My pleasant thoughts are ruined by the horrors I experience
A massive clap of thunder
A loud thunderstorm
Breaks the silence ripping through the streets
Violently interrupts the quiet of the area
I reack instinctly
I react quickly without thinking
Running my heart pounding
I run with fear and anxiety
Smoke engulfs the city
The city fills with smoke
My eyes burn i'm gasping I can't breathe
The smoke is unbearable and suffocating
Just what have we done
What actions did we take
To bring this devastation
That caused this destruction
Future kill
A warning of what may happen in the future
Is this the end of things to come
Is this the end of the world as we know it
Life stands still
Time stops
It's now too late
The situation is beyond repair
Too late for discussions
Talking about solutions won't help
Resolutions cast aside
Possible solutions are ignored
How could peace prevail when
How can we achieve peace if
There are those so hellbent
Some are so determined
In keeping their own people poor
With keeping their own population impoverished
And using greed for their sole gain
And only benefiting themselves through greed
My thoughts shattered again
My peaceful thoughts are ruined again
Screaming persons running through the streets
People are running and screaming
This day holds no mercy
This is a merciless day
Death is all that I see
All I see is death
As if in a nightmare
It feels like a nightmare
I feel as though i'm running standing still
I feel like I'm not making any progress
Buildings crashing burning
Buildings are collapsing and on fire
Earth beneath me moving
The ground is shaking
Futura Matanza
