Future World
Gavin Rossdale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh tear drop you know you make me so sad this heartbeat could be my last
Jesus wants to save me
But the devil just makes me do it again
[Chorus]
It's a future world
The questions and answers
Can't you take your chances
Future world
Of fire line cables
A gift to you while I am able
There is a girl who says she loves me but I got worry on both my arms
I got this razor but it just cuts me up I want to look better but I feel worse
I jump in the ocean
But my head comes up
Just as a wave breaks
[Chorus]
Hard wire cables
I run to you
I run for ages
You will never get it die for you
I know there's pain in everything we do
Hamburgers so that we stay alive
Happy meals means something died
It's a future world
Questions and answers
Some things can't be explained
It's a future world
Of fire line cables
I give to you what I am able
[Chorus]
Of hard wire cables
I run to you
I run for ages
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
I got to get myself back
I got to get myself
It's a future world
It's a future world
It's a future world
And I give to you
What I am able
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
And I got to get myself back
And I got to get myself
It's a future world
In Gavin Rossdale's song "Future World," the verses convey feelings of pain and sadness. The first verse describes a person who has been hurt by someone they loved and care about. The use of "tear drop" may imply that the person is crying, while "this heartbeat could be my last" highlights the depth of the pain felt. The second verse speaks of a woman who says she loves him, but he is worried and has thoughts of self-harm. He then jumps into the ocean, but still feels trapped and unable to escape his pain. The chorus talks about a future world of wires and cables, which is a metaphor. It could represent the complications and difficulties of relationships and how we are all connected in a more profound way.
The third verse delves into an inner conflict where the singer is torn between life and death, the need for happiness and the knowledge that something must die for that to happen. In the last verse, the singer realizes the importance of self-care and the need to "get myself back." He acknowledges that the future world is unknown, but he will take his chances and give what he can.

Future world
The world of tomorrow
Of fire line cables
Refers to the advanced technology that powers our digital communication systems
A gift to you while I am able
I am offering you the best of whatever I have, while I still have it to give
There is a girl who says she loves me but I got worry on both my arms
I am skeptical of the love that this girl claims to have for me and I am suspicious of her intentions
I got this razor but it just cuts me up I want to look better but I feel worse
Despite my efforts to improve myself, it seems like I only end up hurting myself
I jump in the ocean
I try to find refuge in nature
But my head comes up
No matter how much I immerse myself in nature, reality persists
Just as a wave breaks
The moment passes and we are left to confront the difficulties of life
Hard wire cables
A reference to the physical components that create our communication infrastructure
I run to you
I seek refuge in your protection and care
I run for ages
I will keep running until I find what I am looking for
You will never get it die for you
I am willing to give my life for you, but you will never truly understand the depth of my sacrifice
I know there's pain in everything we do
I understand that pain is an inherent part of the human experience
Hamburgers so that we stay alive
We consume food merely to survive
Happy meals means something died
Every time we eat, we take a life
And I give to you what I am able
I am sharing what I have with you to the best of my ability
No, no, no, no, no
A chant expressing the desire to change what is currently happening
And I got to get myself back
I am seeking to rediscover my true self and return to that state
It's a future world
The world we live in is constantly evolving and changing
