THE DIVINE MADNESS

I've waited so long for the future to come
So many reasons, changing seasons
Of my mind
When all that's left are memories

To make us feel alright
We hold ourselves up to the flame
Hoping to get burned
But it's alright now because

We belong above the clouds
Beyond the satellites
We'll be strong

Together if we put it all
Behind us now
And I will fight so hard
To see through your spiteful words

And you should feel the same
And we can live as one once again
So free from sin

I should have known
This time we'd gone too far
And when it's over I'm wondering who you are

Searching for a savior
To lift us from our lives
We hold ourselves up to the flame
Hoping to get burned

But it's alright now because

We belong above the clouds
Beyond the satellites
We'll be strong

Together if we put it all
Behind us now
And all of my life
I have been waiting to be free
Free from the lies

Free from blind hypocrisy
A journey of light
That leads us for away from home
And into the night, into the world
We stand alone





Until the end

Overall Meaning

The Divine Madness's song The Future is an emotional and thought-provoking piece that speaks of the human desire to break free from the constraining shackles of the present and bask in the rays of an imagined future. The singer talks about waiting for the future to come, a future that is possibly nothing more than a mirage of the mind. The future, in this context, is used as a metaphor for hope, a hope for a better tomorrow that lies beyond the memories that threaten to pull us under. The singer urges us to hold ourselves up to the flame of that hope, to let the fire of that hope burn us clean of our sins and blind hypocrisy, and to rise above the clouds and beyond the satellites, free from the ties that bind us.


In the face of the uncertain future that looms ominously and the spiteful words of those who seem bent on holding us back, the singer implores us to be strong, to put it all behind us, and to find our way back to the light that leads us far away from home and into the night, standing alone until the end.


Overall, The Future by The Divine Madness is an uplifting and inspiring piece that appeals to the human desire for a brighter tomorrow, and the dogged determination to see it through.


Line by Line Meaning

I've waited so long for the future to come
I have been waiting for the future to arrive for quite some time


So many reasons, changing seasons
There are numerous factors that keep changing my outlook


Of my mind
This is all due to my state of mind


When all that's left are memories
Once all is said and done, all we'll be left with are our recollections


To make us feel alright
In order to feel at ease and peaceful


We hold ourselves up to the flame
We take ambitious steps in pursuit of our goals, hoping to take risks


Hoping to get burned
With the hope that if we are hurt, we will learn something useful from it


But it's alright now because
Everything is alright right now


We belong above the clouds
We are at our best when we are lofty and unattainable


Beyond the satellites
We are brimming with potential that has yet to be unlocked


We'll be strong
We will be strong and capable


Together if we put it all
If we combine our efforts


Behind us now
Letting go of our issues and difficulties behind us


And I will fight so hard
I am willing to put up a fight so as to not be defeated


To see through your spiteful words
I will try really hard to not let your ill intentions affect me


And you should feel the same
I expect you to have the same attitude


And we can live as one once again
We could once more return to being a united front


So free from sin
We will be free from our faults


I should have known
Perhaps I should have anticipated


This time we'd gone too far
Our situation is out of control


And when it's over I'm wondering who you are
Once it's over, I am curious about who you will become


Searching for a savior
On a quest for someone to come and save us from our difficulties


To lift us from our lives
To redeem us from our perpetual stress and problems


And all of my life
Throughout my existence thus far


I have been waiting to be free
I've been yearning to feel unburdened


Free from the lies
Without any deception and concealment


Free from blind hypocrisy
Devoid of any masking of true feelings


A journey of light
A trip to somewhere hopeful and bright


That leads us far away from home
That takes us away from our comfort zone


And into the night, into the world
Where it is dark, and sinister and everything we might not like


We stand alone
We are isolated


Until the end
Until the very end
