The Futurist was released as the last single before her same-named album came out.
In the song Novaa draws parallels between caring for oneself and caring for our planet. On her Instagram she commented the song with:
our planet is beautiful, people are beautiful, life is beautiful, protect them sa...
[Verse 1]
I saw you at the fillin' station
You were getting gasoline like I did in 2015
I guess you haven't seen that
Ice-full ton of water
When you heat it up, you're better turnin' the air con off
'Cause it's getting hot
[Pre-Chorus]
But I know you can handle that
Even though you can't take it back
Open up your eyes
It's written in the sky
Soon enough it is fallin' down
Like the rain in the dirty clouds
Open up your mind
We run out of time
[Chorus]
(See ya) Don't care 'bout the system
(See ya) Won't join in their eyes
(See ya) I ain't gonna listen
(See ya) My world is online
(See ya) Don't look at their listin'
(See ya) Won't pay off thеir fines
(See ya) I ain't gonna feel it
(See ya) A world that ain't mine
[Post-Chorus]
I'm the futurist, I don't gеt any rest
I am the futurist, the futurist
I'm the futurist, I don't care 'bout the past
I am the futurist, the futurist
[Verse 2]
A life is like an ocean
It keeps runnin' dry when there are too many toxic things
That are sinkin' in
Maybe we have to clean our minds
Look, fish and the trash shut off the seas
And wide sea, to fix reality
[Pre-Chorus]
But I know we can handle that
Even though we can't take it back
Open up your eyes
It's written in the sky
Soon enough it is fallin' down
Like the rain in the dirty clouds
Open up your mind
We run out of time
[Chorus]
(See ya) Don't care 'bout the system
(See ya) Won't join in their eyes
(See ya) I ain't gonna listen
(See ya) My world is online
(See ya) Don't look at their listin'
(See ya) Won't pay off their fines
(See ya) I ain't gonna feel it
(See ya) A world that ain't mine
[Post-Chorus]
I'm the futurist, I don't get any rest
I am the futurist, the futurist
I'm the futurist, I don't care 'bout the past
I am the futurist, the futurist
