[Verse 1] Fisher opens up the weird and eerie door Where familiar things don't feel like home anymore The weird disrupts what we thought we knew The eerie shows us absence breaking through When futures fade and time gets stuck in place We lose tomorrow's hope and forward pace [Chorus] Weird and eerie, strange and hollow When the future's hard to follow Neoliberal times have taken Dreams of change, left us forsaken Weird and eerie, lost dimension Future's gone, no intervention [Verse 2] Gilbert asks what neoliberalism means More than markets, it reshapes our dreams Not just economics, but a way of life Cuts through culture like a sharpened knife Individualism becomes the only way Collective futures fade to yesterday [Chorus] Weird and eerie, strange and hollow When the future's hard to follow Neoliberal times have taken Dreams of change, left us forsaken Weird and eerie, lost dimension Future's gone, no intervention [Bridge] Fisher shows us how the strange creeps in Gilbert maps where neoliberalism begins Both reveal how time itself has changed How our sense of future got rearranged The weird makes normal feel so wrong The eerie sings its empty song [Verse 3] When the future loses all its pull Present moments stretch but feel so dull Fisher's concepts help us understand Why tomorrow slips right through our hands Gilbert shows the system's deeper reach How it shapes what futures we can teach [Chorus] Weird and eerie, strange and hollow When the future's hard to follow Neoliberal times have taken Dreams of change, left us forsaken Weird and eerie, lost dimension Future's gone, no intervention [Outro] Read the introduction, feel the loss Gilbert's essay shows what it might cost When the future fades from human sight Weird and eerie fill the night
