"Arpeggio (Live)" lyrics

"Arpeggio (Live)"

It is an emergency.
In order to survive as species, we need to define our utopia.
The Paris Climate Accord is a modern utopia — impossible to imagine.
But overcoming our environmental challenges is the only way we can survive.
We have to imagine something that doesn't exist.
Carve intentionally into the future,
And demand a space for hope.
Weave a matriarchial dome.
Let's imagine a world where nature and technology collaborate,
And make a song about it.
Let's make a musical mock-up for our destination,
And then move into it.
After disasters, in all mythologies around the world,
One captures the spirit with a flute and starts anew.
Carved out of the first form,
We arrive on a new island,
With mutant species, unknown hybrids of birds and plants.
Our past is on loop. Turn it off.
Let's be intentional about the light.
Imagine a future —
Be in it.
