She'll Come Back for You Tomorrow
Church Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sits beside you, takes hold of your hand
And the glances that she gives you
As your body turns to stone
And you shatter into pieces
As she leaves you all alone
She'll hypnotise you, make you follow
Or she'll come back for you tomorrow
And she's smiling and she's vicious
And she's sour and delicious
Can't ignore her or resist her
Try to leave her and I missed her
She'll hypnotise you, make you follow
Or she'll come back for you tomorrow
The sphere of life that glows and twists entices you to fall
Grants your wishes then takes them all away
And it crushes and it squeezes
Breaks the spirit, kills the soul
And it does just as it pleases
Did you hurry it to the hole
She'll hypnotise you, make you follow
Or she'll come back for you tomorrow
She'll come back for you tomorrow
Or she'll come back for you tomorrow
She'll come back for you tomorrow
The song "She'll Come Back for You Tomorrow" by Church beautifully illustrates the powerlessness we feel when we are trapped in a toxic relationship. The first verse sets the tone with the arrival of winter, which is not just a season of cold but a metaphor for the loneliness and isolation that follows. The winter also personifies the toxic lover, who sits beside you and holds your hand as she begins to take control. The singer starts feeling like their body is turning to stone as the toxic partner gives them looks that pierce their heart. The second half of the verse describes the singer shattering into pieces as the toxic partner leaves them all alone.
The chorus is where the artist talks about the hypnotizing quality of the toxic lover that makes the singer follow her, or she'll come back for them tomorrow. The next verse continues with the idea of the sphere of life that entices you to fall, and as it grants your wishes, it takes them all away. The singer feels crushed, and the soul is killed as the sphere of life does what it pleases. The chorus repeats the idea that the singer is under the control of the toxic lover, and they can either follow her willingly or wait for her to come back.
In summary, the song is about a toxic love that entices you with promises of happiness, only to take them away and leave you feeling trapped and powerless. The singer is fully aware of the hypnotic hold the toxic partner has on them but doesn't seem to have a way out.
