VNV Nation Futureperfect歌詞
1.Holding on

作詞:Harris Stewart, Randall Elizabeth Paige

I thought the future held a perfect place for us
That together we would learn to be the best that we could be
In my naivety I ran, I fell and lost my way
Somehow I always end up falling over me

And one day I woke to find
The future had no place for me
I was unwanted in a world
That with my hands I helped build

Where once was honesty and pride
I now stand broken and alone
Just a shadow
Of what I was meant to be

They say that, 'Time will heal
The truth shall set us free'
Well, that depends on what it is
That you choose to believe

In this prison made of lies
We see what it is we want to see
And find comfort in this
Broken hall of dreams

Does anybody feel the way I do?
Is there anybody out there?
Are you hearing me?

I believe in you
Will you believe in me?
Or am I alone in this hall of dreams?

I believe in you you believe in me
But I have no trust in anything
Somehow I'm always, always falling over me
Somehow I'm always, I'm always falling over me


2.Fearless

作詞:Ronan Harris

So many little things followed me
So many little things that bothered me
But I found my answer
From all the chaos that followed me
I have found my answer
I've told you before don't follow me
Because I am not your answer

I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy
These are the words I say to myself everyday
I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy
Tell me, what ritual I should have today
But I'm not alone
I've resolved so many things and set myself free

I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy
The words I say to myself every day
I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy
Such a stupid ritual to have to say to myself everyday
I'm not alone but I found my answer and set myself free
I'm not unhappy

I'm not alone and I'm not unhappy
Not alone and I'm not unhappy
And I'm not afraid, not unhappy
I'm not alone, I'm not afraid
Eleven point two, eleven point two
I'm not alone, I'm not afraid
I'm not alone, I'm not afraid

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy
These are the words I say to myself everyday
I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy
I'm not afraid

And I am not alone, I am not afraid, I'm not unhappy
The words I say to myself everyday
I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy
Such a stupid ritual to have to say to myself everyday
I'm not alone but I found my answer and set myself free
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not unhappy


3.Epicentre

作詞:Ronan Harris

I asked myself was I content
With the world that I once cherished?
Did it bring me to this darkened place
To contemplate my perfect future?

I will not stand nor utter words
Against this tide of hate
Losing sight of what and who I was again

I'm so sorry if these seething words I say
An anathema of my soul

I can say that you're losing me
I always tried to keep myself tied to this world
But I know where this is leading
Please, no tears, no sympathy

I can say that you're losing me
But I must be that which I am
Though I know where this could take me
No tears, no sympathy

Gracefully, respectfully
Facing conflict deep inside myself
But here confined
Losing control of what I could not change

Gracefully, respectfully I ask you
Please don't worry, not for me
Don't turn your back
Don't turn away

I can say that you're losing me
I always tried to keep myself tied to this world
But I know where this is leading
Please, no tears, no sympathy

I can say that you're losing me
But I must be that which I am
Though I know where this could take me
No tears, no sympathy

No tears for me, no sympathy
No tears for me, no sympathy

Gracefully, respectfully I ask you
Please don't worry, not for me
Don't turn your back
Don't turn away

I can say that you're losing me
I always tried to keep myself tied to this world
But I know where this is leading
Please, no tears, no sympathy

I can say that you're losing me
But I must be that which I am
Though I know where this could take me
No tears, no sympathy

No tears for me, no sympathy
No tears for me, no sympathy

I can say that you're losing me
I always tried to keep myself tied to this world
But I know where this is leading
Please, no tears, no sympathy

I can say that you're losing me
But I must be that which I am
Though I know where this could take me
No tears, no sympathy


4.Carbon

作詞:Ronan Harris

A million points of light
Ascending to the sky
Monuments in darkness
Standing watch until the sun will rise

Screaming to an emptiness
How we dignified ourselves
With our hands over our eyes
Claiming all of creation

What inspires in us this madness
That our existence should be defined
By a light that can't be seen by anyone

What inspires in us this madness
That our existence should be defined
By a light that we can't see
The light that can't be seen

A million points of light
Ascending to the sky
Monuments in darkness
Standing watch until the sun will rise

I can't, I can't see this all as progress
How did we come this far?
When we see ourselves as deities
Claim nature for ourselves

By our actions we betray
The instincts in our race
By our blindness and stupidity
We kill everything, we kill everything

Can someone see our self-destruction?
Are we reminding ourselves
That our existence is so delicate
That without this light we are no more
That without this light we've made we are no more

A million points of light
Ascending to the sky
Monuments in darkness
Standing watch until the sun will rise

We torch the earth until it bleeds
Rain ashes from the sky
Just to make a light that no one can see

We cut the earth until it bleeds
Rain ashes from the sky
Just to make a light that no one can see
Just to make a light, just to make a light

We kill everything
By our blindness and stupidity
We kill everything

In ten thousand years, what will be our legacy?
A million lights that no one can see
A million points of light


5.Airships

作詞:Ronan Harris

I pressed my face against the glass
Smiled as my breath made some pattern or other
The world beneath unfurled before me like a sail
Glinted in gold from this rich dawn sky

Awaiting the ship they had told me would come
Quietly anticipating that which was to come

I couldn't yet see you, still obscured by the city
But towers of glass reflected your coming
Silhouetted on the sunrise, did I blink as I watched?
Did I close my eyes?

I was not alone, I think it was the first time
Watching you rise splendid and graceful
I cheered as you sailed, a greatness unknown
I laughed as I waved and imagined you saw me
In the streets of the city, the windows of buildings

A million faces gazing upwards in wonder
A million faces together and cheering and smiling
You were the warmth of their hearts
You were the sum of their dreams

In the coldness of morning you brought warmth to their lives
Giving this feeling of wonder I could not imagine
You unlocking these thoughts no book and no picture could ever
convey
This feeling and morning had opened a door

I stepped into a new world, I watched you fly
Saw you as a friend, the spirit of dreams
Imagined a new world, lands far away
And imagined those faces as you hung in their sky

I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world
I'm leaving ground, a new world and watching you fly
I stepped into, I stepped into a new world
I was not alone, I think it was the first time

I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world
I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world
Now I'm leaving home, leaving everything, leaving everything
I step into this new world leaving everything

I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world
I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world
Now I'm leaving home, leaving everything that I have ever known
I step into this new world leaving everything, leaving
everything
Leaving everything
