No Future Part Three: Escape from No Future Lyrics

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Much like the songs “My Eating Disorder” and “Still Life With Hot Deuce On Silver Platter” (both off 2012’s Local Business), “No Future Part Three” deals with the balance between man and drug: how much of what we call our self or our soul is authentic if we’re constantly at the whim of chemicals, both natural and synthetic?

Titus Andronicus frontman Patrick Stickles describes his depression while attending Ramapo College in Mahwah, NJ. He then describes his medication, both self- and prescription, and finally his misgivings and self-loathing associated with his willingness to subjugate his humanity (a major theme on the songs “Richard II” and “In A Big City” as well).


Fun fact: Parts One & Two of “No Future” aren’t on The Monitor. Instead, they can be found on 2007’s The Airing of Grievances. Parts Four & Five were later included on 2015’s The Most Lamentable Tragedy.
