[Verse 1] You say safety but you mean control Old promises wrapped in a new symbol Same speech dressed in a different suit Same fear hiding behind every rule You vote for memory, not for nerve Clinging to a yellowed code you preserve You point backward, shouting “proof” But the future demands more than a rerun loop [Pre-Chorus] Fear is not a vision. [Chorus] Nostalgia is not a strategy (no, no, no) Nostalgia is not a strategy (no, no, no) Don’t look back — visualize the future (yeah, yeah, come on) Don’t look back — FORWARD! Nostalgia is not a strategy! [Verse 2] You call it heritage, I call it halt You paint it gray and pretend it’s hope You blame the storm, refuse to move Build a wall around every truth Safe hands but an empty plan Waiting for someone else to take command You want answers from a dead idea But the future isn’t born in déjà vu [Pre-Chorus] Fear is not a vision. [Chorus] Nostalgia is not a strategy (no, no, no) Nostalgia is not a strategy (no, no, no) Don’t look back — visualize the future (yeah, yeah, come on) Don’t look back — FORWARD! Nostalgia is not a strategy! [Bridge] Security without direction is just standing still A country that hesitates already lost its will You can’t win tomorrow with yesterday’s plan You can’t build new ground with borrowed hands You can’t shout “future” with your eyes closed Fear is not a vision. (strategy) [Final Chorus] Nostalgia is not a strategy (no, no, no) Nostalgia is not a strategy (no, no, no) Don’t look back — visualize the future (yeah, yeah, come on) Don’t look back — FORWARD! Nostalgia is not a strategy! [Outro] Nostalgia is not a strategy.
