Garbage - Complete

Let All That We Imagine Be The Light

Hold

Have We Met (The Void)

There's No Future In Optimism

This track explores the inevitable decay of hope and the realization that the wheels have finally come undone. Exploring themes of aging, isolation, and the exposure of our darkest secrets, "On a Long Enough Timeline" is a cynical look at mortality. It asks the question: Was I chosen, or was this just a joke? The answer is buried in the smoke. 

A dark Velvet-Trip soundscape about the inevitability of the end.

Sub-bass, goth guitars, whispered vocals, and noir aesthetics.

Lyrics:

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Is it the end or just the intro
I could have been a hero or an old joke
Was I chosen, was it spoken
I have to know
On a long enough timeline we all get the smoke
I need to know

[Chorus]
The road's gone on too long
The wheels have come undone
The rearview mirror's lost its reflection
I wish I was still young
I wish I still had some hope that my voice mattered or it would make a difference
So I carry on
And I hold on
Till they come and take me home
Take me home

[Post-Chorus]
Take me home

[Verse 2]
Can you hear me, am I fading
I need to know
On a long enough timeline
We all die alone
I need to know

[Chorus]
The road's gone on too long
The wheels have come undone
The rearview mirror's lost its reflection
I wish I was still young
I wish I still had some hope that my voice mattered or it would make a difference
So I carry on
And I hold on
Till they come and take me home
Take me home

[Post-Chorus]
Take me home

[Bridge]
The door's closed, it's too late
But there's something I need to say
They got the best of us and I need to know
If there's a hell below we're all gonna go
And on a long enough timeline
We all get exposed

[Chorus]
The road's gone on too long
The wheels have come undone
The rearview mirror's lost its reflection
I wish I was still young
I wish I still had some hope that my voice mattered or it would make a difference
So I carry on
And I hold on
Till they come and take me home
Take me home

[Outro]
Take me home
