“Dear Future Historians…” is a song about direct experience, the interpretation that one perceives the experience to be/mean and the bestowing of the newfound discoveries to likeminded people.
The song makes use of literal expressions of experience in Verse 1 to emphasise what could be understood to...
[Verse 1]
I never walked on the moon
I never saw the pyramids
I was never struck by famine or fortune
I’ll never experience the world you inhabit
I’ll never experience the world you inhabit
I never swam with dolphins
I never sang from a mountain top

Put your weight on my shoulders
Put your weight on my shoulders
Put your weight on my shoulders
Put your weight on my shoulders
So put your weight on my shoulders
Put your weight on my shoulders
So put your weight on my shoulders
