In The Future To Come

The lyrics contrast an earlier image of people living with love and peace against a present overshadowed by war and fear of what may come. The speaker worries that one conflict can grow and threaten everyone’s future. At the same time, they promise to stay beside someone they care about, so the mood combines dread with loyalty and tenderness.

“Hide you” suggests a wish to protect the loved one from danger, though it may also express a helpless desire to escape reality together. “Cover my pain” implies concealing distress rather than overcoming it. The repeated question about whether people can survive in the future turns the future into a looming threat, while the simple list of seeing, feeling, touching, and moving points to the fragile value of being alive now.

The song can be read as a warning about the consequences of conflict and the way people may ignore dangers that affect later generations. Yet its bleak predictions are framed as fears, not certainties: the lyrics say the world might be destroyed, while also asking whether people can stop pretending that survival is assured. The speaker’s prayer-like appeal leaves the ending unresolved, with care for another person offering comfort but no clear answer.
