"Futureproof" lyrics

"Futureproof"

They're shutting down the protest
Yeah we're so on trend
Quick, go grab a picture
Go get that content
You're stealing the attention
But it's a great look
Why do you wanna do good
When you can feel good?

I wanna be Futureproof
Come and lift me up until I'm higher, higher
Vulture coming to steal my youth
Throw the pieces down into the fire, fire

Liars coming to take my truth
I want to be Futureproof

Oh hang on, did I mention
You're on the hit list?
Taking your intention
Now it's irrelevant
There's poison in the water
And we deserve it
The future is a monster
And now it's turning

I wanna be Futureproof
Come and lift me up until I'm higher, higher
Vulture coming to steal my youth
Throw the pieces down into the fire, fire

Liars coming to take my truth
I wanna be Futureproof

There's a fire
In the bedroom
On the forum
In the ether

There's a fire
In the kitchen
In the species
In the creature

There's a fire
At the party
In the summer
In the secret

There's a fire
In the basement
On the luna
In the dreamer

On the water
In the creature
In the body
In the species

I wanna be Futureproof
Come and lift me up until I'm higher, higher
Vulture coming to steal my youth
Throw the pieces down into the fire, fire

Liars coming to take my truth
I wanna be Futureproof

Nothing But Thieves told about "Futureproof", "That can be a bit of an eye roller and it's easy to get wrong, but there's a parallel between some of our heavier songs and the more aggressive side of hip-hop, which we wanted to try and get at. It's dark and chromatic and then it's mixed like a hip-hop track with loud drums and vocals. The idea was to try and explore that territory in the most authentic and fresh way."
