Lyrics:
Give me back my broken night
My mirrored room, my secret life
It's lonely here
There's no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
Over every living soul
And lie beside me, baby
That's an order!
Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that's left
And stuff it up the hole
In your culture
Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St. Paul
I've seen the future, brother
It is murder
Things are going to slide (slide) in all directions
Won't be nothing (won't be)
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
Has crossed the threshold
And it has overturned
The order of the soul
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
You don't know me from the wind
You never will, you never did
I'm the little Jew
Who wrote the Bible
I've seen the nations rise and fall
I've heard their stories, heard them all
But love's the only engine
Of survival
Your servant here, he has been told
To say it clear, to say it cold
It's over, it ain't going any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop
You feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready for the future: It is murder
Things are going to slide (slide) in all directions
Won't be nothing (won't be)
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
Has crossed the threshold
And it has overturned the order of the soul
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
There'll be the breaking of the ancient Western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There'll be phantoms, there'll be fires on the road
And the white man dancing
You'll see your woman hanging upside down
Her features covered by her fallen gown
And all the lousy little poets coming round
Trying to sound like Charlie Manson
Yeah the white man dancing
Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St. Paul
Give me Christ
Or give me Hiroshima
Destroy another fetus now
We don't like children anyhow
I've seen the future, baby: It is murder
Things are going to slide (slide) in all directions
Won't be nothing (won't be), nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
Has crossed the threshold
And it has overturned
The order of the soul
When they said (they said) repent (repent)
Repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent)
Repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent)
Repent (repent)

I had the privilege to watch him live... It was so magic that when he came back again (last concert he gave in my country) I just didn't want to go. I didn't want to spoil what I've witnessed. It was also the last concert I attended with my mother. Ive been in tons of concerts, festivals in my life but Leonard... You gave us something to remember for eternity! Thank you! 🙏🏻

Relevant ? It's literally a blue print of what's going to happen. The global agenda for worldwide socialist domination ( NWO) WAS supposed to start by the year 2000 there was supposed to be a total media shutdown and a po lice st ate introduced and they were going to blame it on the w2k bug . So artists in the know either tried to prepare ppl mentally or warn ppl from about the late 80s to late to early 2000s, however the problem was where ever the globalist would meet there would be mass riots and protests against them since a lot of ppl knew about this . American m ilitia were on high alert 📢 for the introduction of the world 🌎 govern ment and were willing to fight it . So the elite changed plans staged 911 introduced a bunch of laws to fight "terrorism " and subdued all resistance. In 2020 co vid was introduced and new laws were legislated removing freedoms. This is not a prophecy it's a person telling of future plans ( I mean the song ) . Nothing new Babylonians , pharoahs , and some roman emperors had totalitarian governments even the Vatican had its own from 1000 to 1400 . Only difference is this generation of Satanists have more technology and ppl are sleepwalking right into their doom .

Full confession. Oliver Stone turned me onto Leonard Cohen by using a shortened version of this song in his movie "Natural Born Killers" in 1994. Before then, all I knew by Mr. Cohen was "Everybody Knows." First I bought the soundtrack. Then I bought Cohen's CD "The Future" and started collecting all of his work. I was blown away. As he aged, his work got better. I love it all and miss the man deeply. But his music lives on!

@@carolinewatts2117he was a man of prophecy & even more. Mr. Cohen had the mean’s & opportunity to travel the world, so he chose to find the answer through studying each religion, taking many years to find the answers to the mysteries of life, being given the answer before his time here was over; he DID find the answer, so that was time well spent. I never met the man in this world but look forward to our next conversation after my time here is done, spending the rest of it in obedience bc I am only 62 & hope God will continue to work through me. Just wanted to answer your question about him with a very righteous judgment. GBU with a beautiful weekend. :)

@LikeARollingStone248 Thank you for such a beautiful & poetic tribute. Such great words brought together from obviously a wonderful soul makes me think that you have already found the answer to the question Leonard looked so hard to discover & did find bc the answer was within him all along, knocking at the door of his heart. We can’t judge bc we must remember the group of God’s people that were blinded, but you should know that Leonard DID find The Door before his time was up bc I am a witness, although my age & time here are almost almost done, so pardon the arthritic typos. It felt right to let you know bc your words reveal a caring soul. Had Leonard been born with such birth defects as I was, the world would have missed out on so much beautiful music he created while on his journey, which definitely did have a happy ending.Hopefully you understand & get peace from this message. GBU & yours, always. :)

"things are going to slide in all directions there won't be anything you can measure anymore" it's incredible how prescient these lyrics are. We're in a post-truth world where people can barely even agree on what is fact and what is fiction and I think he nailed it with this lyric. Slide implies movement with friction and the idea of sliding in all directions shows that it's not just social progress in one direction anymore there's a fight for who can slide things in their favor the most

The song was written in response to the fall of the Soviet Union. This feeling was explored completely independently by the late historian John Lukacs who I'm sure never heard of Cohen when he wrote about historical consciousness. He had a sense that the order coming after the USSR was much more terrifying then what came before.

There are themes, yes, but I don't think what he prophesied is happening quite yet... It's not worse than genocide yet. I suspect he received a vision about Neuralink/BCIs. Strap in, baby. Amazon is gonna gamify your thought process, sensory perception, memory and consciousness for profit. Might not be for another generation or so. But we're gonna have the technology and we're not gonna have enough legal control over corporations to stop it.

Ouvi essa música no filme "Assassinos por natureza" em 1994, e como no ano anterior o mesmo quase aconteceu comigo, tanto o filme quanto a música sempre ficou nas minhas memórias, e sempre quis assistir de novo. Hoje estava chapado e resolvi chapar muito mais e assistir esse filme, para ver se a onda seria a mesma de quando assisti há muitos anos. Mudei muito, meus gostos mudaram, más o mundo não mudou. Por isso ambos são muito atuais. A verdade é que em nenhum momento do futuro alguém poderá dizer que tanto o filme como a música não é atual. A não ser quando este mundo deixar de existir.
