Future Me Is None of My Business

Make plans. Change them. Keep the dragon. Some things stay. Some things change. Some things made perfect sense once and absolutely do not anymore. And future me? She can deal with it. This one is for the unfinished people. The ones who make plans in pencil. The ones who leave room for plot twists. 🖤 Lyrics and concept by AerisNox 🎵 created with Suno, refined by hand Lyrics: [Intro] I missed the opening credits Bit rude, actually No context, no briefing, just: "Here you go. Figure it out." "Good luck." And somehow I’m meant to know the ending? Hilarious [Verse 1] They handed me a timeline with all the usual stops: "Find the one, become someone, know what you want." "Pick a lane, pick a label, pick a version you can keep. Build a life that photographs well, don’t outgrow the theme." But I’ve wrecked enough good plans to know they’re rarely sacred Some things only make sense until they don’t And that’s great, apparently [Pre-Chorus] I meant it when I chose it, I’m allowed to choose again Changing my mind doesn’t make the old one counterfeit I can like where I’ve been without moving back in [Chorus] Future me is none of my business she’s got her own mess to make I’ll leave her a few plans in pencil she can trash 'em if she hates 'em I’ll mean what I mean while I mean it I’ll stay while the staying is true Future me is none of my business I’ve got enough me here to do [Post-Chorus] "Where do I see myself in five years?" Somewhere, I guess Great question Next one, please [Verse 2] Eighteen-year-old me had answers and terrible taste She picked a life and low-rise jeans Actually… no That one’s indefensible My bad But she got some things right, some stayed, some changed, some grew roots, some walked And I owe her thanks, not lifelong obedience I don’t need to turn myself into a museum of decisions [Pre-Chorus 2] Don’t love me like a finished thing, don’t frame me, don’t preserve If I stop changing shape, check if I still have a pulse I can promise you this minute; I can’t sign for what's next [Chorus] Future me is none of my business; she’ll have her own mess to fix I’ll leave her a few rough drafts, she can toss ’em if they don’t fit I’ll mean what I mean while I mean it, I’ll stay as long as staying fits Future me is none of my business; she can deal with the rest of it [Break] "When will you settle down?" Settle down? Into what? [Verse 3] I was halfway through the scene when a dragon walked on set. Was it in the original script? No... Did I keep it? Obviously I like a little structure I just hate when it turns holy Rules are useful right up until they start acting like they know me I sketch plans in pencil, life fills them in with black Sometimes I flip the whole script, sometimes it flips me back [Interlude] Am I afraid of commitment? No, Taxidermy Different thing I’m very pro-alive Anyway, where were we? Oh right Pretending this had a coherent structure [Bridge] Rule one: trust the process Rule two: see rule one Rule three... Actually, scrap that New rules: If the scene goes wrong, call it a plot twist If the door stays closed, check the window If the map stops helping, fold it into a paper plane Wait... was this supposed to be the bridge? Never mind [Build] I didn’t choose the opening, I won’t choose the final scene, so why spend the middle rehearsing who I’m meant to be? I don’t need to know what comes next, honestly I just need enough room... to figure it out [Final Chorus] Future me is none of my business; she can call me when she knows I’ll leave her a couple blank pages and somewhere interesting to go I’ll mean what I mean while I mean it, I won’t carve it into stone Future me is none of my business; she can make the rest her own Future me is none of my business, and frankly... I’m staying out of it [Outro] I didn’t come with instructions Why would I leave with a plan? Anyway... What happens next?
