Today Tomorrow Sometime Never
Echobelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh well maybe tomorrow
I wait, devious thoughts, but no inspiration at all
I have shut down
[Chorus]
Generations, lost in the haze of these apathy days
When everyone falls
When everyone falls
Somewhere looking for shelter I still can't find myself
I am alone
Aware is it my color or culture who can tell
Should we be hated for ourselves
Where should we go
[Chorus]
Are you with me sometime or never
Are you with me sometime or never
Or never, never, never
Don't let me down
[Chorus]
Generations, lost in the haze of these apathy days
When everyone falls
Today tomorrow sometimes never
Today tomorrow sometimes never
Today tomorrow sometimes never
Today tomorrow sometimes never
Today tomorrow sometimes never
Echobelly's song "Today Tomorrow Sometime Never" is a reflection on the frustrations of life and the difficulties of finding one's place in the world. The lyrics begin with a sense of aimlessness and dissatisfaction, as the singer searches for something that remains out of reach. The chorus speaks to broader societal issues, with references to apathy and segregation, as everyone seems to be falling apart. The lyrics then shift to a more personal level, as the singer looks for shelter and a sense of identity, only to be met with confusion and perhaps even discrimination based on their color or culture. The repeated question of "Are you with me sometime or never" speaks to the alienation and loneliness that can come with the search for connection and belonging.
Overall, the song captures a sense of modern malaise and the search for meaning and connection in a world that can often feel fragmented and uncertain. The lyrics are poetic and evocative, drawing on both personal feelings and larger societal issues to create a powerful and moving piece of music.
