Landscape
Future Generations Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spread across the cold, dark earth
Oh there is something growing neath the gates
And it's ignorant of worth
Placate the landscape
Don't mean to frustrate
I'm meant to be alive
There is life on the other side
Too much
It's all I needed
It's all I needed now
It's been too much
It's all I needed
The plant's been seeded now
Broken space complicates my take
On the thoughts that I once called love
There is a reason we pretend that we fought
To say we did enough
It looks like you forgot to
Save me from myself
But there's no substitute
For love from someone else
Too much
It's all I needed
It's all I needed now
It's been too much
It's all I needed
The plant's been seeded now
Too much
It's all I needed
It's all I needed now
It's been too much
It's all I needed
The plant's been seeded now
The lyrics to Future Generations's song, "Landscape," are rich in imagery and evoke a sense of longing and introspection. The opening lyrics, "Even though I can see my fate spread across the cold, dark earth, oh there is something growing neath the gates, and it's ignorant of worth," describe a sense of despair mixed with hope. The singer sees their future stretching out bleakly before them, but there is still a sense of something new and vital growing within them.
The chorus of the song speaks to the idea of trying to find one's way in a confusing and sometimes hostile world. "Placate the landscape, don't mean to frustrate, I'm meant to be alive" seems to suggest that the singer is trying to make sense of their place in the world, even when it feels overwhelming. The phrase "You're on your own till you find there is life on the other side" speaks to the idea that personal growth and discovery is a solitary process, but there is hope on the other side.
The final verse of the song can be interpreted as a reflection on the difficulties of love and relationships. "Broken space complicates my take on the thoughts that I once called love, there is a reason we pretend that we fought to say we did enough" seems to suggest that the singer has experienced heartbreak, and is struggling to make sense of it. The line "But there's no substitute for love from someone else" speaks to the universal desire for connection and affection, even when it's hard to come by.
Line by Line Meaning
Even though I can see my fate
Despite my ability to predict my future
Spread across the cold, dark earth
That seems to be uninviting and lifeless
Oh there is something growing neath the gates
There is an opportunity lurking that's unnoticed or underestimated
And it's ignorant of worth
It has no regard for its value or its importance
Placate the landscape
Comfort the surroundings in order to find peace
Don't mean to frustrate
I don't intend to cause annoyance or anger
I'm meant to be alive
I have a purpose in living
You're on your own till you find
You have to navigate through life independently until you find what you're looking for
There is life on the other side
What you're searching for could be on the other side
Broken space complicates my take
Destruction and chaos make it difficult to process my take on things
On the thoughts that I once called love
On my previous ideas of what love should be
There is a reason we pretend that we fought
We pretend that we went through struggles to feel like we did enough
To say we did enough
To convince ourselves that we did all we could
It looks like you forgot to
You seem to have overlooked the fact to
Save me from myself
Rescue me from my own self-destruction
But there's no substitute
But there's nothing that can replace
For love from someone else
The love and support from another person
Too much
An overwhelming amount
It's all I needed
It's all I needed to be content
It's all I needed now
At this moment in time, it's all I require
It's been too much
It's been more than I can handle
The plant's been seeded now
The seed of desire has been planted and is growing

I heard this on our local college radio recently. I hope to very soon hear it on the mainstream. It’s nice to see people do in fact still use real instruments in their music.
