One Day In The Future
Pond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waters close over my head
The currents drag me down
In this way I've sealed my fate by letting it be heard
On that day I'll be sorry that I ever wrote these words
All the souls upon the earth consumed in fiery clouds
While presidents and kings will hide in caves under the ground
Plate tectonic forces will find fault with their designs
Every solid object with a start will have an end
On the bottom of the ocean things that squirm and things that swim
Given intimations as to how I'm going to die
What I really want to know: is not how I'll go but why
The first verse of Pond's song One Day In The Future describes the singer’s feeling of being doomed and destined to die drowning. The second line specifically refers to the act of drowning, “waters close over my head” and the imagery of being dragged down by the currents. In these lines, the singer is accepting his fate, acknowledging that his actions have consequences, and that the ultimate punishment for those actions will be drowning. The third line is particularly important as it highlights the fact that the singer’s choices have led him to a path of inevitable doom. He has “sealed his fate” by making decisions that will lead to his drowning. The final line of the verse, “On that day I’ll be sorry that I ever wrote these words,” reveals the singer’s regret, and acceptance that he is responsible for his fate.
Line by Line Meaning
One day in the future I am sure that I will drowned
I am confident that in the future I will succumb to the water
Waters close over my head
The water will cover my head and submerge me
The currents drag me down
The water's movements will pull me further below the surface
In this way I've sealed my fate by letting it be heard
By writing this song, I have guaranteed my fate
On that day I'll be sorry that I ever wrote these words
I will regret composing this song when I meet my end
All the souls upon the earth consumed in fiery clouds
Everyone on earth will perish in destructive flames
While presidents and kings will hide in caves under the ground
Even leaders will take refuge in underground shelters
That is their undoing, just as swimming will be mine
Their attempt to survive will be futile, as will my efforts to swim
Plate tectonic forces will find fault with their designs
Natural forces will expose flaws in their plans
Every solid object with a start will have an end
Everything that begins will eventually come to a conclusion
On the bottom of the ocean things that squirm and things that swim
Underwater creatures, both mobile and stationary, reside in the depths
Given intimations as to how I'm going to die
Clues have been provided as to the nature of my demise
What I really want to know: is not how I'll go but why
The reasoning behind my death is more important than the details of how it will occur
