[Verse 1] Once we dreamed of flying cars and cities in the sky Now we scroll through endless feeds as precious time goes by Berardi saw the writing on the digital wall When capital speeds up so fast, imagination falls The future used to call our names with promise bright and clear Now precarity holds us tight, trapped in endless fear [Chorus] Biopolitics of futurelessness When tomorrow feels like emptiness Semiocapital's racing pace Leaves exhaustion in its wake No more dreams, just endless stress This is our futurelessness [Verse 2] Neural pathways overloaded by the data stream Collective mind fragments apart, can't hold a common dream Temporal dispossession steals our sense of what's ahead Living paycheck to paycheck keeps hope buried, nearly dead The assembly line of signs and codes programs our brains While flexible labor chains us down in economic chains [Chorus] Biopolitics of futurelessness When tomorrow feels like emptiness Semiocapital's racing pace Leaves exhaustion in its wake No more dreams, just endless stress This is our futurelessness [Bridge] It's not just culture that we've lost It's neurological, the cost Affective labor drains our soul Acceleration takes its toll Precarious lives, no time to think Standing at tomorrow's brink [Verse 3] Franco Bifo warns us all of capitalism's final phase When imagination dies beneath information's maze The future dimension slips away like water through our hands As capital colonizes time across all the lands [Chorus] Biopolitics of futurelessness When tomorrow feels like emptiness Semiocapital's racing pace Leaves exhaustion in its wake No more dreams, just endless stress This is our futurelessness [Outro] But knowing how we lost our way Might help us find a different day When futures bloom in minds set free From capital's machinery
