How Soon Is Now? (2008 Remaster)

“Pipped One Step Ahead”
The lyric is a defiant, cerebral cipher that explores the experience of being strategically outmanoeuvred—politically, militarily, and narratively. It speaks from the perspective of a side-lined voice (Ukraine, or any excluded resistance) watching its fate negotiated in summit rooms it cannot enter.
Verse 1 sets the stage: betrayal through diplomacy, exclusion from decision-making, and the haunting silence of manipulated peace.
Verse 2 flips the lens: the speaker exposes the architecture of deceit, hacking the narrative, and reclaiming agency through lyrical precision.
Verse 3 delivers the philosophical mic drop: history is a cipher, and the speaker cracks it—not with permission, but with blood, memory, and rhythm.
The hook repeats the central tension: being pipped one step ahead—but refusing to be erased. It’s a meditation on surveillance, strategic betrayal, and the power of lyrical resistance.
