Future
Saytr Play Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If this is what it feels like to be the future
I - I feel so sorry for the youth
Running around
As the bombs hit the ground
Ohhhhhhh

(Instrumental)

Forgotten people
Gather around
They′re asking questions
Will we be found

Forgotten people
Walk the street
So peacefully

All the speakers
Wanna know
Will they hear
The voice they love

Forgotten people
Gather around
So peacefully

But I know
As I grow old
And live my life as fiction

And what a sound
They hit the town again

If this is what it feels like to be the future
I feel so sorry for the youth
Running around
As the bombs hit the ground

Familiar faces
All around
They grow in numbers
Town by town

Forgotten people
Breathe the cold
So peacefully

But I know
As I grow old
And live my life as fiction

And what a sound
They hit the town again

If this is what it feels like to be the future
I feel so sorry for the youth
Running around
As the bombs hit the ground

(This is what it feels like
I feel sorry for
I feel sorry for the youth)

Did you see
The light shining up
From above
Was it God or was it just
Finding something lost

(Instrumental)

If this is what it feels like
To be the future
I - I feel so sorry for the youth
Running around as the bombs hit the ground
Ohhhhhh
(This is what it feels like

I feel sorry for
I feel sorry for the youth)
