Tomorrow
E Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tomorrow I'll be nine
And everything will be the same
Tomorrow I'll be nine
It's only gonna be another day

They're always looking at me funny
I'm always doing something wrong
I'm thinkin' they'd be better off if I was gone

Tomorrow I'll be nine
And everything will be the same
Tomorrow I'll be nine
It's only gonna be another day

They never tell me what they're thinking
They're always busy being mad
I start to thinkin' could it be 'cause I am bad?

Oh, I'll go where I can't hear them
Oh, I'll go away

There's got to be someone who wants me
There's got to be someone who cares
Don't know where they are but I am going there

Tomorrow I'll be nine
And everything will be the same
Tomorrow I'll be nine
I think it's time I make my get away





Tomorrow I'll be nine
Tomorrow I'll be nine

Overall Meaning

The song "Tomorrow" by E is a poignant and melancholic reflection on the isolation and desperation felt by a nine-year-old child who feels misunderstood and alone in a world where nobody seems to care. The repeated refrain of "Tomorrow I'll be nine, and everything will be the same, it's only gonna be another day" emphasizes a sense of hopelessness and resignation to a life that feels repetitive and unchanging.


The child is acutely aware that others look at them "funny" and are "always busy being mad", leading to feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. The line "I start to thinkin' could it be 'cause I am bad?" highlights the internalization of shame and blame that many children experience when they are not understood or valued by adults around them. The song's lyrics capture the sense of isolation and loneliness that can come from feeling unloved and unwanted, while also pointing towards the child's resilience and determination to find a place where they belong.


Overall, "Tomorrow" is a heartbreaking but powerful portrayal of the struggles faced by many children who feel alienated from the adults and peers around them. It is a song that acknowledges the pain and trauma of childhood without sugarcoating it or offering false hope, instead leaving the listener with a sense of the child's raw emotion and the need for compassion and support.
