See No Future

Here I am singing one of the 26 songs that are found in the back pages of my book, all of which are related to the concepts from Imagining the Tenth Dimension in various ways. As I've discussed before in this blog, I think it's easy to define "life" as being any process that appears to be interested in what happens next. This song is about the negative patterns any of us can find ourselves trapped within. But this is also the message of hope from the timeless multiverse that we're imagining here: if all possible timelines do really exist, that information may not be so useful to someone who is happy with how their life is going. For a person who is trapped in repetitive loops of depression or addiction, some might find some strength in the knowledge that modern physics suggests the version of our universe actually exists where that person finds their way out. And that would be a good thing: when you see no future, that is a very dark place to be.

SEE NO FUTURE
music and lyrics (c) by Rob Bryanton (SOCAN)

You see no future on the road that you’ve been travelin
You see no reason to continue any more
Still you keep on keepin on
Cause it’s the way you’ve always gone
Won’t you tell me what the hell you do it for

Now if there’s one thing I can say – it’s you’re consistent
And you’re persistent to a fault, sure, some’d say
Are you stubborn or just dumb?
Why don’t you try to find someone
Who will help to turn you round the other way
When you see no future

No tomorrows
Just todays
Is that the way you wanna stay?
No wishes
No dreams
Can’t you find another way?

I wish some happiness could join you on your journey
I hope that fortune finally finds you on your way
But tell me how will you ever win
When that big wheel that you’re in
Has you runnin the same circle every day
You see no future

No tomorrows....

You see no future on the road that you’ve been travelin
You see no reason to continue any more
Still you keep on keepin on
Cause it’s the way you’ve always gone
Won’t you tell me what the hell you do it for
When you see no future
When you see no future
When you see no future
When you see no
