[Verse 1]
Dear listener, I'm recording-this-tape
For you play back at any time, or-any-place
Whether to me you're an advanced, or still an ordinary-race
Whether the world I know thrives, or it morbidly-breaks
I'm hoping this message'll-last
A way for you to revisit your inaccessible-past
I wish knowing your life was more than a guessable-task
And I could see your world, but here's an impression-of-ours
We just past our millennia's-birth
Another thousand years many-have-worked
Died, tortured, lied, to have control over any-of-Earth
Now we're settled in our various-turfs
But is settled the word?
I wouldn't say we're too stabilized
Though that's the view in most of my 1st world neighbours-eyes
Living unaware, consumer driven labour-lives
With no sign a smarter age'll-rise
Unless we sway-the-tides!
Some say we're entirely-lost
That we try and see our future maniacally-squashed
Just quietly-watch
The I.Q of society-drop
It's like our leaders want intellect and sobriety-blocked!
Just keep your values materialistic
And if you ain't chasing money then you're merely-a-misfit
Fuck changing the world, that's nowhere near-realistic
If life's deeper than this, it's clear-we-all-missed-it...
[Hook]
But by the time you're hearing this tape
This world could be a dream, just an inferior-place
Maybe we're long gone, leaving merely-a-trace
Maybe we grew strong with superior-traits
But if this is in theory-a-taste
Of what can come from this intellectually weary-a-race
Then I wish that I could vanish from this year-and-be-placed
In a time where all the problems I see here-are-erased
[Verse 2]
We are dust in an ocean-of-stars
Yet that we're advanced is one of the notions-of-ours
Blind to the galaxies, hence our devotion-to-mars
Trapped in the system, falling down the same slopes-from-the-past
And we've barely passed the ravages
Of world wars, a bit further back and the average-is
Arranged marriages
And war-torn-savages
Last century it was candles and horse-drawn-carriages!
But in the last century-alone
We've achieved more in terms of the lengths-we-have-grown
Than our entire evolution's essentially-shown!
We're aliens to our ancestors rudimentary-bones!
And with the technology that's sure-to-rise
I can only guess, but barely fathom the sort-of-lives
That you may be living, we could soon be immortalized!
The fact I'm probably gonna miss it all leaves me mortified!
Stuck in the most crucial era-we-face
Our fates
Hang on the right moves or errors-we-make
Cause the worlds of utopia and terror-we-base
So much fiction on, ain't necessarily-fake
Our potential is limitless
Fuck nay sayers, disbelievers and cynisists
Cause in centuries to come we'll all be primitives
This world's a mystery with no room for difinitives...
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
The past was once painted and described-in-words
But we're the first, to truly have our lives-preserved
Each caught in the web, having our lives-observed
Letting the future forever see how our lives-occurred
Makes me wonder who's playing-this-back
A thousand years from now will you hear what I say-in-this-track?
And if it is staying-intact
How much of what I've spoken will still weigh-in-as-fact?
Cause with the change Earth's-seen
In the last millennia, 3013
Will be far removed from what people hearing this first-deem
To be normality, something like an absurd-dream
Are you under government policies?
Are there still murders, poverty fueled robberies?
Do you still hold capitalistic ideologies?
Are there countries? Or are they just forgotten oddities?
Do you still kill each other in colonies?
Do the majority, still follow religious prophecies?
Do you use the money of our economies?
Are you still taught there can't be equality?
Cause right now, I see us as prenatal-at-best
A new born species, in it's first capable-steps
Unsure if our future will bring good or fatal-effects
I just wish that I stay for the rest...
