Futureal
Embracing the Shadows: Iron Maiden's Futuristic Tale of Fear
Lyrics
I'm running out of my time
I feel a sense of urgency as time is running out for me.
I'm running out of breath
I'm physically exhausted and struggling for breath.
And now it's getting to
The situation is becoming critical and demanding.
I can't sleep at night
I experience insomnia and restlessness at night.
In the day, feel like death
During the day, I feel like I'm facing a lifeless existence.
I'm getting in far too deep
I find myself deeply involved or entangled in a challenging situation.
I feel them closing in
I sense external forces closing in on me.
I've got to say that I'm scared
I admit to feeling fear in the face of impending challenges.
I know they'll win
I acknowledge that the challenges or adversaries will triumph.
Even so, I'm prepared
Despite the odds, I am mentally and emotionally prepared.
Do you believe what you hear?
Questioning the credibility of information received.
Can you believe what you see?
Challenging the trustworthiness of auditory information.
Do you believe what you feel?
Doubting the authenticity of emotional experiences.
Can you believe what is real?
Raising skepticism about the nature of reality.
Futureal, what is real?
Pondering the concept of reality or truth.
Whenever anyone seems
Feeling alienated when others treat me differently.
To treat me like a freak
Sensing isolation when being treated as an outsider.
It makes me see
Realizing my unique perspective in such situations.
I'm the only one who feels
Recognizing my individuality in perceiving reality.
That I know what is real
Claiming a deeper understanding of what is true.
Sometimes it feels like a game
Comparing life to a dangerous game of hiding and seeking.
Of deadly hide and seek
Highlighting the lethal aspect of this life game.
And when you're reading this
Indicating that the message is written before a departure.
Then I'll be gone
Suggesting a departure or exit at the time of reading.
Maybe then, you will see
Hoping that my absence will make others realize my value.
Do you believe what you hear?
Reiterating the theme of questioning auditory information.
Can you believe what you see?
Reiterating the theme of doubting visual information.
Do you believe what you feel?
Reiterating the theme of questioning emotional experiences.
Can you believe what is real?
Reiterating the theme of doubting the authenticity of reality.
Futureal, what is real?
Pondering the concept of reality or truth once again.
Futureal
Repeating the title as a thematic emphasis.
