In the Year 2525
Exploring Humanity's Future: In the Year 2525
Lyrics
In the year 2525, if man is still alive
In the year 2525, questioning the survival of humanity.
If woman can survive, they may find
If women can survive, implying a challenging future for both genders.
In the year 3535
In the year 3535, predicting a distant future.
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie
No need to tell the truth or lie, suggesting a loss of transparency or honesty.
Everything you think, do and say
Everything controlled by a pill, indicating a potential reliance on medication for behavior.
Is in the pill you took today
Linking thoughts, actions, and speech to the effects of a pill.
In the year 4545
In the year 4545, envisioning a more advanced future.
You ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes
No need for teeth or eyes, suggesting a shift in physical needs or capabilities.
You won't find a thing to chew
Nothing to chew, reflecting changes in diet or sustenance.
Nobody's gonna look at you
Neglect and lack of attention from others.
In the year 5555
In the year 5555, describing a future with physical decay.
Your arms hangin' limp at your sides
Limbs hanging limp, suggesting physical deterioration.
Your legs got nothin' to do
Legs without purpose, hinting at a lack of physical activity.
Some machine's doin' that for you
Machines replacing bodily functions, potentially illustrating a loss of autonomy.
In the year 6565
In the year 6565, addressing relationships and family structures.
You won't need no husband, won't need no wife
No need for traditional familial roles.
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
Selecting offspring from a technological process.
From the bottom of a long glass tube
Children born from artificial means.
In the year 7510
In the year 7510, contemplating the potential arrival of God.
If God's a coming, He oughta make it by then
If God comes, wondering about His judgment on humanity.
Maybe He'll look around Himself and say
God observing and deciding on the fate of mankind.
Guess it's time for the judgment day
Suggesting a possible judgment day.
In the year 8510
In the year 8510, portraying God's reaction to humanity's actions.
God is gonna shake His mighty head
God expressing disappointment or approval.
He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been
Evaluating the state of the world and considering a restart.
Or tear it down, and start again
Contemplating the destruction and renewal of Earth.
In the year 9595
In the year 9595, questioning the continued existence of humanity.
I'm kinda wonderin' if man is gonna be alive
Doubting if humanity can endure the challenges it faces.
He's taken everything this old earth can give
Humanity exploiting Earth without replenishing resources.
And he ain't put back nothing
A critique of human behavior and its impact on the planet.
Now it's been ten thousand years
Reflecting on the passage of time and the consequences of human actions.
Man has cried a billion tears
Highlighting the vast amount of human suffering without clear purpose.
For what, he never knew, now man's reign is through
The futility of human endeavors, leading to the end of human reign.
But through eternal night, the twinkling of starlight
In eternal darkness, a poetic reference to the persistence of the universe.
So very far away, maybe it's only yesterday
The distance of time and the potential cyclical nature of existence.
In the year 2525, if man is still alive
Returning to the initial premise, questioning humanity's survival in 2525.
If woman can survive, they may find
If women can survive, reiterating the uncertain fate of both genders.
