Tomorrow My Friend...
EF Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is the last time I will hold your precious body
While days are passing by, and swallows each moment whole
I'll miss your lips... your smile, the glimpse in your eyes and your greatness
I hate to feel this way, but all good things must come to an end
This is ours. from now on there is no tomorrow my friend
How could I know? How should I feel?
I'm misled by words never spoken
How could I know? How should I feel?
I'm misled by a smile never shown





Overall Meaning

The lyrics to EF's song "Tomorrow My Friend" deal with the theme of letting go and moving on. The singer in the song is holding onto someone they care deeply about, but they know that they can't hold onto them forever. The use of the phrase "swallows each moment whole" emphasizes the fleeting nature of time and the idea that we can't hold onto anything forever. The singer highlights the things they will miss about the person they're holding, such as their lips, smile, eyes, and greatness. However, they also acknowledge that all good things must come to an end, and that this moment they're sharing is theirs alone - from now on, there is no tomorrow.


The second part of the song deals with the idea of being misled - the singer wonders how they could have known the person they're holding onto wasn't really theirs to keep. They feel like they were let on by words that were never spoken, and a smile that was never shown. This highlights the idea that we often build our own narratives in our heads, based on what we want to believe, rather than what is actually happening. The combination of these two themes - letting go and being misled - creates a poignant and emotional landscape that many listeners can relate to.
