[Silence]
[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Slow Piano Pulse, Atmospheric Synth Pads, Echo Guitar, Deep Bass, Gradual Drum Build]
[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Numbers can guide you…
But time keeps moving…
Future’s comes to view.
The question is…
How close are we?
[Refrain]
Approximately
(We don’t have very long)
Exactly
(Till the end of this swan song)
[Verse 1]
A line is drawn across the years
Measured hopes and measured fears
Predictions change as systems shift
Searching for the narrow drift
[Pre-Chorus]
Estimate
(Refine the view)
Calculate
(What we can do)
[Chorus]
Approximately
(Within the range)
A changing system
(Is rearranged)
How close are we?
[Refrain]
Approximately
(We don’t have very long)
Exactly
(Till the end of this swan song)
[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Driving Bass, Expansive Organ, Layered Synth, Rolling Drums]
[Verse 2]
The future carries uncertainty
But that does not mean we cannot see
A weather map, a climate trend
A warning message we can send
[Pre-Chorus]
No crystal ball
(No perfect view)
Just better questions
(For a better clue)
[Bridge]
A range of futures, paths ahead
Choices made by words we’ve said
The clock moves forward
(The moments pass)
Decisions shape
(The hourglass)
[Breakdown]
[Minimal Beat, Deep Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
A forecast…
is not fate.
(It will not last)
A probability…
is a chance to change.
(Sound too strange?)
[Final Chorus]
Approximately
(We don’t have very long)
Exactly
(Till the end of this swan song)
Approximately
(We see the trend)
Exactly
(Where choices end)
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Echoing Piano, Sustained Organ, Soft Synth Fade, Distant Guitar]
Not a number…
Not a date…
A direction…
We create.
(How close are we?)
… approching…
(“Not very long”)
Exactly
(It’s the end of this swan song)
