navid jamshidi - time machine lyrics

Loading...

any moment now, i’m ready to go
talked with friends, they don’t think so
made my decision, i’m set to leave
tonight’s the night, all on my sleeve

the time machine, i built with care
a scientist’s dream, now standing there
rumors of war, a world at stake
they call it world war—i can’t take the ache

the past was dark, full of hate and fear
wars, racism, pain—it’s all too clear
seen women trade their lives for bread
maybe the future’s got hope instead

it’s christmas eve, i tell my maid
off to bed, my plans arе laid
she’ll be with her fam; i’ll bе alone
no one to check, the night is my own

in my chair, the machine hums clear
set the dials with steady cheer
one hundred ten years—i set the date
the future calls; i can’t be late

christmas night, 1913’s past
let’s see what lies ahead at last
the world shakes, the room turns gray
the wormhole pulls, i’m swept away
it’s frightful now, my body’s light
i’m fading fast, lost in the flight
sleep consumes, no turning back
the future’s here, i’m on the track

where am i now? the sight’s so strange
buildings towering, vast and changed
i leave the machine, take in the scene
cars so sleek, streets so clean

but oh my god, the women i see
their clothes, their looks, their modesty
back then, in 1913’s grace
women looked better, with charm on their face

long dresses flowing, beauty refined
now it’s all lost, a shameful decline
the men look strange, their fashion’s wrong
thought they’d improve, but not for long

gadgets glow in every hand
eyes glued tight, they barely stand
the world is cold, no love, no care
just empty stares and digital air

a girl falls deep, no one reacts
lost in screens, their souls intact
i run to see where she could’ve gone
oh god, what’s this? it feels so wrong
down below, it’s dark and grim
she’s acting in a sordid film
filming l+st, their smiles are fake
their hollow lives, a grand mistake

a window’s open, i look inside
a woman films with shame denied
she’s naked there, in her own room
broadcasting live to chase her doom

the billboards flash with faces fake
plastic dreams, their souls at stake
what happened here? i can’t go on
this modern world feels so far gone

oh god, please, just take me back
let me escape this cold, dark track
wake up, wake up—what’s this i hear?
oh anna, you’re here, my mind’s unclear

breakfast ready, don’t be late
but wait, dear anna, please tell me the date

“it’s 1914, sir, the day we’re in.”
oh, thank god, i’m home again
you don’t know, anna, what i’ve been through
the future’s bleak, it’s far from true

women back then had style and grace
long dresses, smiles, a modest embrace
she says, “it’s fine, just a bad dream
come now, sir, life’s not as it seems.”
