I Have Seen the Future
Embracing Tomorrow: The Bravery's Vision of a Brave New World
Lyrics
We are faster, faster than pain
We, as a society, move faster than the experience of pain.
We are a nerve ending without a brain
We function like a nerve ending without a brain, suggesting impulsiveness.
We have evolved, we have no feeling at all
We have evolved to a state where emotions and feelings are absent.
It is a brave new world
Expressing the arrival of a bold and challenging new era.
Raise a glass in salutation
A gesture of raising a glass in acknowledgment or celebration.
We'll drink to our annihilation
Celebrating our own destruction or downfall with a toast.
Was and will just make me ill
The concepts of past and future provoke discomfort or sickness.
It is a brave new world
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the arrival of a challenging new world.
And we are faster than pain
Reemphasizing the idea of being faster than pain.
We are dogs without a name
Describing a sense of identitylessness or lack of individuality.
We are marching soldiers off to claim
Portraying a collective movement, possibly with a sense of purpose.
The brave, brave, brave new world
Highlighting the challenging nature of the new world being faced.
I want to dream it all the way
Expressing a desire to fully experience or envision the new world.
And take a some holiday
Suggesting a need for a break or escape from reality.
I take a gram and I only am
Referencing drug use and its impact on perception in the new world.
It is a brave new world
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the challenging new world.
Raise your glass in salutation
Repeating the gesture of raising a glass, possibly with a sense of irony.
We'll drink to our annihilation
Celebrating destruction or downfall again through a toast.
Was and will just make me ill
Expressing discomfort or sickness caused by thoughts of past and future.
It is a brave new world
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the challenging new world.
And we are faster than pain
Reemphasizing the idea of being faster than pain.
We are numbers in a chain
Depicting individuals as mere numbers in a systematic order.
We are marching soldiers off to claim
Describing a collective movement of soldiers with a purpose.
The brave, brave, brave new world
Highlighting the challenging nature of the new world being faced.
And we are faster than pain
Reemphasizing the idea of being faster than pain.
We are numbers in a chain
Depicting individuals as mere numbers in a systematic order (repeated imagery).
We are marching soldiers off to claim
Describing a collective movement of soldiers with a purpose (repeated imagery).
The brave, brave, brave new world
Final emphasis on the challenging nature of the new world.
