“The Future Is Now” is the first track on The Offspring’s ninth studio album, Days Go By. The band played the song at their shows already a year before the album was released. The lead singer of The Offspring, Dexter Holland, revealed that the song is basically about the dangers of modern technology...
[Verse 1]
This city's made of diamonds
And tomorrow glass will grow
On the freedoms that divide us
They're coming after me
Flashback 1984
Now who's knock-knocking at your door?
A thought that starts a riot
They're coming after me now
Life is not the same
I am one
But sparks turn into flames
[Chorus 1]
Will you take what's in my head?
And erase me when I'm dead?
’Cause the future is now
Now I'm disappearing
The day has turned to night
Can you save me from the light?
’Cause the future is here
This is how I disappear
[Verse 2]
Running down a spiral
With the light of better men
Shouting progress is survival
Take one last look and see me
Now you see me, now you don't
No vow to break
No string of hope
My hero, your pariah
They're coming after me now
Life is just God's game
I am one
But sparks turn into flames
[Chorus 2]
And you get what you deserve
When revenge is what you serve
’Cause the future is now
Now I'm disappearing
I'll sink into the night
And I'm turning off the lights
’Cause the future is here
This is how I disappear
[Bridge]
So the end's what you make it
And that's what you're looking for
This is the future
Future is now
Disappear
Disappear
I disappear
Disappear
[Interlude]
Now turn off the lights
The skies are blue inside you
Turn off the lights
They'll get inside of you
[Chorus 1]
Will you take what's in my head?
And erase me when I'm dead?
’Cause the future is now
Now I'm disappearing
The day has turned to night
Can you save me from the light?
’Cause the future is here
This is how I disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
