about
As Hanson says, “What’s Next?” was inspired by the mass hibernation brought on by a global pandemic. Time’s arrow, though seemingly suspended, can only march forwards.
“We wrote this track during the first-ever lockdown when everyone was very perplexed by what was happening to the state of the world as we knew it,” says Hanson. “I was scared. So was everyone. The uncertainty was all around, anxiety was going viral.”
- James Di Fabrizio, Rolling Stone Australia
lyrics
I am afraid of what is next
The whole world is so damn perplexed
Aren’t you afraid of what is next?
Living the same day over and again
Letting go of what could have should have been
I’ve been living this way since it began
Sun bleached reefs colours drip to the sea
I’m sick of swimming in policies
Aren’t you concerned of one degree?
You are so calm amidst the storm
Thank you for creating an open door
I’m so at home within your arms
When they come for the coast, let’s hide in the trees
Swim in the lake water’s up to my knees
When they come for our world, we will fight to be free
I’m not afraid of what is next, do as you please,
I’ll do my best
to not be afraid of what is next!
