about this song
Released on Leonard Cohen’s 1992 album The Future, The Future is a dark, prophetic reflection on the societal decay and moral crisis of the late 20th century. With its unsettling fusion of rock and gospel elements, the song captures Cohen's vision of a world increasingly defined by chaos, corruption, and the erosion of boundaries. The track is both apocalyptic and dystopian, speaking to Cohen's view that society is veering into a dangerous, unrecognizable future where the traditional systems of morality and order are crumbling.
