Name: 2049
Duration: P00H02M33S
Description: This song is about a time way out in the distant future, when things that bothered you thirty years ago still bother you now. It’s also about trying to accept the nature of your relationship with those things, rather than trying to escape, or change them. We wrote and named this song before the new Blade Runner movie was announced, and we can prove it.

lyrics

The year is 2049, and the future of mankind is in no way in peril. But, there’s a skull and crossbones floating right over my head. It doesn’t really bother me, it’s been there for a while now. Sometimes, I forget that it’s there until I bump it on a doorframe, or the wind gets it stuck in my hair, or I catch somebody trying not to stare. Man, I wish those flying cars I hear about would come down and take me away. Because when I look up at the stars in the infinity of space, they do not spell out your name. No, that would be too convenient! Stars can’t just go around spelling any name anybody looks for, and if they did, I’d probably keep pronouncing it wrong anyway, and I would not share my astral revelation. Now, I’m seeing things. I’m seeing faces every time I close my eyes. Can’t tell if I’ve been poisoned, or if I’m just desensitized. So now my eyes are always dry from staring at the sky. But, I know those flying cars I hear about aren’t coming to take me away. And when I look up at the stars in the infinity of space, they do not spell out your name. No, that would be too convenient! Flying cars can’t go around picking anybody up, and if they did, I might tell them just to take me to my parents’ house because I don’t see them as often as I should.
