The future
Mystery Skull Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm worried 'bout the future, future, future, future...
Ain't got no money for the nice things, I barely got enough for rent.
Ain't got no clue 'bout where I'm going, and making dollars, but at least I'm making sense.
Don't need no cash, ain't got no soul, don't need no flesh, just want control.
Never grope enough, you know it's just the way I do it.
I want the gold, ain't no sucker, baby.
I'm worried 'bout the future, and fuckin' with the past.
Ain't got no time to waste on pussy, you know I gotta keep my head on straight.
'Cuz at the rate these times keep changing, I don't really care about second place. Mmhm.
Don't need no cash, ain't got no soul, don't need no flesh, just want control.
Never grope enough, you know it's just the way I do it.
I want the gold, ain't no sucker, baby.
And when you least expect it, I'll be coming from your room.
I'm worried 'bout the future, and fuckin' with the past.
The lyrics of The Future by Mystery Skulls depict a sense of anxiety and uncertainty about what is to come, as well as a ruthless determination to seize control over one's own life. The repeated chant of "I'm worried 'bout the future, future, and fuckin' with that passion, baby" highlights the doubled-edged sword that is the future - on one hand, there is immense potential and excitement, but on the other hand, there is the fear of the unknown and the potential for failure. The use of profanity in the lyrics adds a sense of urgency and desperation, as though the singer is trying to convince themselves that they are in control even when they feel helpless.
The following verses speak to the various obstacles that the singer is facing, including financial difficulties and a lack of direction in life. However, despite these challenges, the singer seems determined to keep pushing forward and to assert their agency - "don't need no cash, ain't got no soul, don't need no flesh, just want control." The final lines of the song ("I'll be coming from your room") create a sinister tone, perhaps suggesting that the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
Overall, The Future is a song about the push and pull of ambition, fear, and determination, set against a backdrop of electronic beats and catchy hooks.
