The Series 'Future To This Life' Song Meaning


Here gush about how this end song is a freaking love ballad!

I've been listening closely and the lyrics found below is closest to what I hear.

I think the song means to console two forcibly parted lovers, that they can find a future without each other. It's a message that beautifully fits in with the drama allowed in The Series. There are many moments where Alex clearly misses her (Nancy), yet knows he cannot be with her. The Song gives hope she finds love again. And the song wants Murphy to understand not only a future in his second-life as Robocop, and also one without her.



Lyrics:
Future To This Life
Joe Walsh & Lita Ford

In the heart of the darkness a light still burns
Takes you back there to a memory of her.

In the heart of the darkness she's still there
She's always holding on to what you shared.

Is anybody out there gonna take your hand
Hold you close and help you understand
There is a future to this life.

In the soul of a woman cut from her man
Carries a burden that love never ends.

In the heart of the darkness when the night comes down
You're left with the promise that love will be found.

Is anybody out there gonna take your hand
Hold you close, try to help you understand.

There's a future to this life and it burns in the night
For the future to this life like a sign in the sky
Burns for you and I.

I don't think it has any particular significance to the characters, bar the references to the future. It's just a typical mid-tempo ballad sung by two singers well past their commercial peak.
