About This Track

'Utopia' by Austra is a 2017 electronic track from the album 'Future Politics'. The lyrics picture a city of strangers, with daily motion from workplace to home, then turn toward a yearning for shared feeling, “a place / Where everybody feels it too”. That combination of alienation and hopeful projection gives the song its forward pull, even while it admits the utopia could be fiction.

"Utopia" is a single by Austra, from the album Future Politics, released 20th January 2017. The track is 4:03 long. It's filed under Electronic. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Austra.

Lyrics

Utopia

I live in a city full of people I don't know
People riding highways from the workplace to the home
I raise my head
I see they're different than us
I only want to hold your hand
My holden land

I can picture a place
Where everybody feels it too
It might be fiction but I see it ahead
There's nothing I wouldn't do
There's nothing I wouldn't do

Cut me a slice of the apple that I grow
My work is valid I can prove it but I know
A woman screams
She's looking for me
I'm a men who made her cry
A cozying lie

I can picture a place
Where everybody feels it too
It might be fiction but I see it ahead
There's nothing I wouldn't do
There's nothing I wouldn't do

Utopia
Utopia
Utopia
Utopia
Utopia
Utopia

Like a hunter with teeth
There's nothing I wouldn't do
I'ma run through a garden of dirt
There's nothing I wouldn't do
There's nothing I wouldn't do

    As we charge full-length into the coming apocalypse, we can’t say we weren’t warned.
