The Secret of the Future
The song is a compelling journey through personal adversity, serving as a rallying cry for resilience and hope. Grappling with painful memories, the track ultimately embraces the power of a blank canvas – the defiant choice to leave the past behind and step confidently into a future painted with intention. It is a stunning, cinematic rock anthem about the strength required to change your life and find redemption in the forward gaze.
I’ve been holding my head up high
I’ve been treading tainted paths
I’ve swerved the crevices
and sometimes fell in them
Deep, to the bottom
But I held my head up high
I held my head up high
I held my head up high
I look ahead, that sparkly, bright mystery ahead of me, ahead of me
I look ahead
and hope the secrets the future holds
Aren’t as dark as the past I trod
I dream of a blank canvas
Untainted, unjudging, beckoning
A canvas I’ll paint with multicoloured paths
That’s my secret
With no regrets
A sculpture unfinished yet
A future, a future with no secrets
