Zager & Evans are only known for their immensely popular song In the Year 2525 (Exordium And Terminus), written by Rick Evans. It hit number one on the UK chart in 1969. Coincidentally, it was number one on 20 July 1969 in USA, the date of the first manned moon landing by astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, and spent six weeks on the Billboard Top 40. It was nominated for a special Hugo Award that same year.

The band signed with RCA records, who claimed they were "The Next Big Thing", but follow-up singles, such as "Mr. Turnkey", went unnoticed by the public.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the year 2525, if man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie
Everything you think, do and say
Is in the pill you took today
In the year 4545
You ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes

You won't find a thing to chew
Nobody's gonna look at you
In the year 5555
Your arms hangin' limp at your sides
Your legs got nothin' to do
Some machine's doin' that for you
In the year 6565
You won't need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube

In the year 7510
If God's a coming, He oughta make it by then
Maybe He'll look around Himself and say
Guess it's time for the judgment day
In the year 8510
God is gonna shake His mighty head
He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been
Or tear it down, and start again

In the year 9595
I'm kinda wonderin' if man is gonna be alive
He's taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain't put back nothing

Now it's been ten thousand years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what, he never knew, now man's reign is through
But through eternal night, the twinkling of starlight
So very far away, maybe it's only yesterday

In the year 2525, if man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find

Overall Meaning

The song "In the Year 2525" by Zager & Evans is a thought-provoking reflection on the future of humanity. The lyrics explore the idea of technological advancement and the potential consequences for society. The song begins by contemplating a future where human beings still exist in the year 2525, but may have to rely on pills for everything they think, do, and say. This suggests a world where individuality and free will have been eradicated, and people are controlled by a dystopian government or corporation.

As the song progresses, the lyrics become increasingly bleak. By the year 4545, humanity has evolved to such an extent that people no longer need their teeth or eyes. In the year 5555, even our limbs have become redundant, replaced by machines that do the work for us. By the year 6565, the need for human companionship has also disappeared, and children are created in glass tubes rather than through natural means.

Perhaps the most haunting verse is the one that explores the idea of God's judgment. In the year 7510, the songwriter speculates that God will finally arrive and pronounce judgment on humanity. It is unclear whether God is pleased with what He sees or not, but in the year 8510, He may tear it all down and start again. The song ends on a melancholy note, with the suggestion that humanity's reign is over and that only the stars remain as a distant memory of what once was.

@@1223jamez You're not very smart then, are you?
You know the bible says some other ridiculous stuff too? Like.. "Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material" yet I guarantee that you're doing just that right now.
Like come on dude. You cannot say you believe one part, but not the other ridiculous things. I could go on and on and on about all the stupid made up shit in the bible.
If I wrote down a bunch of stories, Put them in a book, and then said book was found buried in the ground 2000 years later.. Does that make everything in the book true? No? Of course not. Just because it was written by ancient humans, that doesn't make it real. You're trusting the accounts of people that didn't even know we live on a planet. People that didn't even know what makes rain happen. People that were superstitious about EVERYTHING.
You're going to trust those people with your eternal soul? LOL.

Lets try this. Here's some ridiculous stuff you like to ignore.
What about "When a woman has a discharge, if her discharge in her body is blood, she shall continue in her menstrual impurity for seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening. Everything also on which she lies during her menstrual impurity shall be unclean, and everything on which she sits shall be unclean." Leviticus 15: 19-20

How about "Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately. But all the girls who have not known man intimately, spare for yourselves." Numbers 31:17-18

Ohhh how about this one eh? So you believe in owning slaves then? Because the bible says that, too. "You may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way." Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT

Get your head out of your ass. It wont kill you to admit you're wrong.

This prophetic song ends with...

"In the year 2525, if man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find"

The word "man" is used as a reference to mankind, not men..
And now today, no one can define what a "woman" is. Woman are being erased.

How did these song writers get this so accurate?

I have (as many other people - but not those who were born after the early 90s) seen the world before the Internet and global mobile networks. It was very different. The world was bigger and information was mostly available from books/newpapers/magazines and maybe audio sources and perhaps Norton help files and text files on floppy and directly from people. Human communication/contact was very direct. I mean, we used phone booths OMG. I, myself, can only imagine the world before the computers and abundance of landline phones. When I was a child, to my fortunate, my father worked for a computer company and we had original IBM PCs at home. But most people had no computers. Some had C64s, Amigas and few had IBMs and some IBM compatibles. The closest to web sites were Bulletin Board System servers that could be reached via voice modems. Even that looked very advanced. Today, it looks odd if someone owns no computers or smart phones.

I can hardly imagine what the future looks like. Say, 50 years from now. A hundred.

Modern humans have existed for at least 10,000 years... imagine what the ancient peoples thought of it being our time. They never imagined we'd be around in 2021. Some of them thought the world would have ended dozens of times by now..

Building actual sets and models take a long time and money. But they tend to have a better look. Think the original dune costumes and inside sets, or original blade runner. Cgi has it's place like in outer space or dinosaurs. But a lot of stuff that could be done with real sets, just looks really fake with CGI it seems very lazy and cheap. Digital sensors can't complete with film quite yet. They remastered this film, look how good it stands up to video especially from they first changed over. Tv programs shot on video lets say in te 90s look horrible to say even Bonanza shot on film. Especially when remastered to modern video standards. I can only imagine how good the original film looks.

Metropolis (1920s) is one of the best science fiction films, after 100 years the foresight of a genius like Fritz Lang is clear.

This song scared the shit out of me when I was 10 years old, and it still scares the shit out of me to this day. It instills a sense of dread in me that sits deep in the pit of my stomach, a feeling I've always felt but this song just puts the words to those feelings. It's absolutely beautiful, but so terrifying that I rarely come back to listen to it.

Part of the effect this song has on me is thinking about those who will come after and knowing I'll be dust (in the wind) when they finally tread this same planet under the same sun and moon. They'll think of us the way we think of the people who were here hundreds and thousands of years ago. The people who saw the melt of the last ice age... Doesn't every living person have a small measure of arrogance over the dead because of their frailty in dying?

Used to listen to this whilst fishing on Langold lake near Worksop, they played songs over the speakers as they had family pools etc. prayed it would be played, love it to this day some 50 odd years later.
