Men out of Time by Kheops One feat. Caroline von Brünken

Men out of Time is a rock song by Kheops One featuring German vocalist Caroline von Brünken, released on April 26, 2024. Written and composed by Goran Vedriš, the song celebrates visionaries, scientists, inventors and independent thinkers who devoted their lives to understanding nature and improving the future of humanity.

Its lyrics explore the courage required to pursue knowledge when society is unwilling to accept new ideas. Through references to scientific discovery, aether, zero-point energy and the dream of free energy for everyone, the song portrays people who pursued ambitious ideas despite opposition and misunderstanding. At its heart is a tribute to individuals whose thinking reached beyond the limitations of their own time.

Men out of Time celebrates the determination to search for truth, even when the world is not ready to listen.

The Story Behind "Men out of Time"

The origins of Men out of Time go back to an idea from Goran Vedriš's childhood. Goran recalls writing an early song called The Water Wizard, dedicated to Viktor Schauberger, the Austrian inventor and naturalist known for his unconventional ideas about water and natural processes. Years later, while practising guitar, Goran returned to the inspiration behind that early composition.

New melodies began to emerge, and he developed them into a new song. Rather than focusing on a single inventor, Men out of Time became a broader tribute to some of the great scientific minds in human history. In his own description of the song, Goran names:

·         Nikola Tesla

·         Viktor Schauberger

·         Isaac Newton

·         Michael Faraday

·         James Clerk Maxwell

·         Albert Einstein

·         Stephen Hawking

These individuals worked in very different fields and periods of history. What connects them within the song's artistic concept is their dedication to exploring the laws of nature and expanding human understanding. The lyrics celebrate the passion, perseverance and curiosity associated with scientific discovery. They also reflect Goran's fascination with the possibility that a better understanding of nature could contribute to a better future for humanity.

Lyrics of "Men out of Time"

For the future
For a better life
For the greater good of the human kind
With a passion
With their heads held high
They were men of pride in a different time
Through the aether
Through an age of dark
To the energy of a zero point
Dedication
To a higher goal
Free energy for us all

Since the dawn of time
We've been searching signs
There's a hope
There's a plan
You could see it in their eyes

An adventure
On a quest for truth
They lived their lives
They have wasted youth
On a passion
On their way to a goal
Free energy for us all
For the future
For a better life
For the greater good of the human kind
With compassion
With their heads held high
They were men of pride in the age of dark

Since the dawn of time
We've been searching signs
For a hope
For a plan
Could you see it in their eyes

Back in early days
Knowledge was a crime
On their path to be
Men out of time
Set into their ways
Even in the dark
For the truth to be
Men out of time
Burn them at the stake
For spreading awful lies
Were no fools
They were men out of time
For the greater good of the human kind
They were meant to be
Men out of time

In the ancient days
Knowledge was a crime
On their path to be
Men out of time
Set into their ways
Even in the dark
For the truth to be
Men out of time
Burn them at the stake
For spreading awful lies
Were no fools
They were men out of time
For the greater good of the human kind
They were meant to be
Men out of time

Back in early days
Knowledge was a crime
On their path to be
Men out of time
Set into their ways
Even in the dark
For the truth to be
Men out of time
Burn them at the stake
For spreading awful lies
Were no fools
They were men out of time
For the greater good of the human kind
They were meant to be
Men out of time

In the ancient days
Knowledge was a crime
On their path to be
Men out of time
Set into their ways
Even in the dark
For the truth to be
Men out of time
Burn them at the stake
For spreading awful lies
Were no fools
They were men out of time
For the greater good of the human kind
They were meant to be
Men out of time
