The sombre “Many Years From Now” sees Declan O'Donovan meditating on how the present might affect our future.
Speaking on the track Declan says, “The song is a moment of clarity between two people who, like everyone, are constantly making choices that will point them in one direction or another. Choices like where we live, what we consume, the thoughts we choose to say or leave unsaid.”
lyrics
A strange evolution
Between now and then
There’s wolves at the door the rent’s long overdue
Put a flame to the tinders
Of remember whens
You’re done with your past your past ain’t done with you
Though this make believe
It suits me too
We won’t know what it does to us
Till many years from now
Say goodbye to your family
Goodbye to your friends
Let the heavy-handed heart to hearts go nuclear
There’s a place to the north
We could start again
Once behind the times welcome to your future
We won’t know what it does to us
Till many years from now
The smoke was always in your eyes
We won’t know what it does to us
Till many years from now
