[Verse 1] Remember when we planned for years ahead When history felt alive, not dead But something shifted in our modern age We're trapped inside a temporal cage The clock keeps ticking but time stands still Past and future bend to market will Jameson saw it coming clear The loss of depth we hold so dear [Chorus] We're living in the eternal now No memory, no future somehow The present swallows all we know In capitalism's endless flow Eternal present, eternal present Time becomes our absent present [Verse 2] Late capitalism changed the game Made every moment look the same No grand narratives to guide our way Just endless repetition day by day The shopping mall becomes our shrine Where past and future realign Into a single, flattened space Where history leaves not a trace [Chorus] We're living in the eternal now No memory, no future somehow The present swallows all we know In capitalism's endless flow Eternal present, eternal present Time becomes our absent present [Bridge] Postmodern condition, Jameson's vision Cultural logic cuts precision Depth model fades to surface play Yesterday feels like today [Verse 3] We scroll through feeds that never end Past and future start to blend The algorithm knows no time Just profit margins, reason, rhyme This temporal crisis runs so deep We've lost the future that we keep In fragments of a broken dream Nothing's quite the way it seems [Chorus] We're living in the eternal now No memory, no future somehow The present swallows all we know In capitalism's endless flow Eternal present, eternal present Time becomes our absent present [Outro] The future dimension slips away In the perpetual today Eternal present holds us tight In capitalism's endless night
