Tomorrow Tonight
Embracing Tomorrow: Breaking Free from the Chains of Deceit
Lyrics
Will I sneak around for the rest of my life
Expressing uncertainty about continuing secretive behavior indefinitely.
Lie to you and lie to myself
Acknowledging the act of deceiving both oneself and another person.
What's the matter with the cards I hold
Questioning the quality or value of the current situation or circumstances.
I'm so scared if the truth be known
Expressing fear or anxiety about revealing the truth.
Maybe tomorrow, maybe tonight
Contemplating the possibility of change in the immediate future.
There'll be no more sorrow, there'll be no more fright
Anticipating a future without sadness or fear.
All I ever wanted was to set my world on fire
Expressing a desire for significant personal success or impact.
I had vision, I had desire
Referring to past aspirations and ambition.
Waited to long, took life for granted
Regretting having taken life's opportunities for granted.
My open doors, don't know why I slammed them
Confusion about why certain opportunities were not pursued.
Maybe tomorrow, maybe tonight
Reiterating hope for change in the near future.
There'll be no more sorrow, there'll be no more fright
Desiring a future free from sorrow and fear.
We can walk on water, we can touch the stars
Expressing a belief in extraordinary capabilities or possibilities.
No one will be faulted, we can be who we are
Belief in a future where individuals won't be judged for being themselves.
Never wanted to go to prison, I never thought I'd be serving time
Expressing a reluctance towards imprisonment or restriction.
I learned some lessons as I grew older, guilt and fear are my iron bars
Reflecting on lessons learned as one grows older, acknowledging feelings of guilt and fear as limitations.
It stands to reason if we all wear out, so few are certain so many in doubt
Contemplating mortality and the uncertainty faced by many.
We stay distracted and grow disconnected prefer the lies and the truth is rejected
Observing society's preference for distractions over confronting truths.
Maybe tomorrow, maybe tonight
Repeating the hope for a change in the near future.
There'll be no more sorrow, there'll be no more fright
Desiring a future without sorrow or fear.
We can walk on water, we can touch the stars
Reaffirming belief in extraordinary capabilities or possibilities.
No one will be faulted, we can be who we are
Desiring a future where individuals can be themselves without judgment.
We can be who we are
Reinforcing the idea of embracing authenticity.
Tomorrow Tonight
Reflecting the uncertainty of whether change will happen in the future.
