Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You should be so happy.
You should be so glad.
21st Century Man.

Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow.
You still wander the fields of your sorrow.

Time, time, time, time




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Orchestra and Chorus's song Epilogue convey a message of conflicting emotions towards progress and the future. The repetition of "You should be so happy" and "You should be so glad" conveys a sense of obligation to feel positive and optimistic about the future. However, the line "21st Century Man" suggests a feeling of detachment or dissociation from this new era. Alternatively, it could signify a sense of admiration towards modernity, with the lyrics serving as a reminder of how far humanity has come.


Furthermore, the chorus "Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow. You still wander the fields of your sorrow," juxtaposes the idea of progress with the continued presence of negative feelings and emotions. This may be interpreted as a reflection of the human condition, that no matter how advanced we become, we still struggle with personal struggles and negative emotions.


Overall, the song Epilogue leaves the listener with a sense of uncertainty and contemplation about the future, as well as the need to reconcile progress with the ongoing struggles of the human condition.
