Lyrics
[Intro]
誰砍倒了櫻桃樹
[Verse 1]
Today is the shadow of tomorrow
Today is the present future of yesterday
Yesterday is the shadow of today
The darkness of the past is yesterday
And the light of the past is yesterday
The days of yesterday are all numbered in sum in the word once
Because once upon a time, there was a yesterday
Yesterday belongs to the dead, because the dead belongs to the past
The past is yesterday, today is the preview of tomorrow, but for me
Only from a better and happier point of view
My point of view is the thought of a better, untried reality
Yesterday is eternity, the eternity of yesterday is dead
Yesterday is as one, the eternity of one is the eternity of the past
The past is once upon a time, once upon a time has passed
The past is yesterday, day, the past is yesterday, day
While we're searchin' for tomorrow
[Bridge]
The music is different here, the vibrations are different
Not like planet Earth
Planet Earth sound of guns, anger, and frustration
There was no one to talk to on planet Earth who would understand
And set up a colony here
[Verse 2]
The light of the past is the light which was
The wisdom of the past is the light of the past
The light of the future is the light which is to be
The wisdom of the future is the light of the future, see
Yesterday belongs to the dead, tomorrow belongs to the livin'
The past is certified as a finished product
Anything which has ended is finished
That which is perfect is finished
The perfect man is no exception to the rule
The perfect man of the past is made according to the rule of the past
The rule of the past is a law of injustice and hypocrisy
The revelation of the meaning of the law
Is revealed through the law itself
The wisdom of the past is the light of the past
The light, which is to be with wisdom of the future
The light of the future cast the shadows of tomorrow
[Verse 3]
Effect their vibrations for the better, of course
Sun Ra, Sun Ra
Lord Quas
Madlib
Another place in the universe, up under different stars
That would be where the ultimate destiny come in
Equation-wise, the first thing to do is to consider time as officially ended
We'll work on the other side of time
