Future Now
Pleasure Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life on distant planets are the stories of the future now
Thoughts that have existed long before
Prophesies of the past now understood at last
With the speed of light your mind unlocks the door

So come away with me
Let your thoughts be free
From pain and misery
With the speed of a falling star
You'll cross the galaxies
Past infinity
Can you just open your mind

Far beyond Earth's time and space-age science fiction
We are children of tomorrows still unkown
From beyond just another place
We're from another time and space called future now
We are not alone
Can you relate to the feeling we have all been here before?
From beyond this time and space
We're from another living race called future now
We are nor alone

So come away with me
Let your thoughts be free
From pain and misery
With the speed of a falling star
You'll cross the galaxies
Past infinity
Can you just open your mind

In the future, universal children
With the speed of a falling star
In the future, universal mind

In the future, universal children
In the future, one universal mind

We are not alone, we are not alone, we are not alone
We are not alone, we are not alone, we are not alone





Open your mind

The song imagines a world where people are free from pain and misery and are united by a universal mind.


Pleasure's "Future Now" speaks about an imaginary world where children from another living race explore and inhabit other galaxies with the speed of falling stars. This song evokes the idea of science-fiction and imagination, where our thoughts can take us to a world that might be hiding beyond the galaxies we can see. The lyrics call for everyone to open their minds and look beyond their present life and lineage to explore a world where pain and misery do not exist.

Underrated band. Universal should be world renowned. One of the funkiest and catchy songs ever written IMO....
