Overall Meaning

Moby's song, "Live for Tomorrow," is a poignant exploration of the dichotomy between living in the present moment and preparing for the future. The song begins with the repeated refrain, "As I live, as I live, as I live for tomorrow," which sets the tone for the existential themes that will be explored throughout the song. The first verse centers on the idea that when our minds are at rest, we can live in the present moment with no fear of what's to come. However, this blissful state is short-lived, as the next verse reveals that even when our minds are at rest, our hearts can still feel disturbed.


The song's chorus serves as a reminder that even though we can never fully control what the future holds, we must continue to live and strive for a better tomorrow. The repetition of the phrase "as I live for tomorrow" emphasizes the urgency of this message. The final verse once again explores the tension between living in the present and preparing for the future by acknowledging that while our hearts may be disturbed, we must keep pressing on.


Overall, "Live for Tomorrow" encourages us to embrace the present moment while also remaining resolute in the face of uncertainty. Its message is both thought-provoking and inspiring, encouraging us to keep moving forward while remaining mindful of the journey ahead.
