Poets of the Fall -Maybe Tomorrow is a Better Day
Poets of the Fall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'd stay the hand of god, but the war is on your lips
How can I brace myself for razor blades on whips
When everything with meaning is shattered, broken, screaming
And I'm lost inside this darkness and I fear I won't survive

I could pray and trick with a double tongue, but the only fool here's me
I choose the way to go, but the road won't set me free
'cause I wish you'd see me, baby, save me, I'm going crazy
Tryin' to keep us real, keep us alive

This day will die tonight and there ain't no exception
We shouldn't wait for nothing to wait for
Love me in this fable, babe, my heart is in your hand
Our time is waiting right outside your door
And maybe tomorrow is a better day

I do not deal the cards and I play a lousy hand
I celebrate no victories and my promises are sand
Against all this I contrast you, when all is lost the war is through
Hey angel, dare the winds now we can fly

This day will die tonight and there ain't no exception
Why should I wait for nothing to wait for
Let me love you in this fable, hold your heart in my hand
Our time is waiting right outside your door
And maybe tomorrow is a better day

This day will die tonight and there ain't no exception
Why should I wait for nothing to wait for
I won't cry for my solitude, lay my head and dream of you
And hope that you'll come knocking on my door




And maybe tomorrow is a better day
I know tomorrow is a better day

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Poets of the Fall's song "Maybe Tomorrow is a Better Day" express a sense of helplessness and desperation in the face of turmoil and chaos. The singer describes feeling lost and broken inside a darkness that may consume him. He admits to his powerlessness to change the course of events, but also acknowledges the foolishness of pretending and deceiving himself or others. The heart of the lyrics lies in the hope that love can conquer all, and that even when everything is falling apart, there is still a chance for a better tomorrow.


The opening lines of the song convey the singer's reluctance to interfere with the workings of fate. He knows that there is nothing he can do to stop the war that rages on, even if he wanted to. The image of "razor blades on whips" highlights the brutality and cruelty of the conflict, emphasizing the danger that he and his loved ones face. The repetition of words like "shattered," "broken," and "screaming" underscores the sense of pain and chaos that surrounds the singer.


The chorus offers a glimmer of hope, as the singer asks his lover to "love [him] in this fable" and to hold his heart in her hand. He believes that their time is near, and that tomorrow will be a better day. The lyrics are deeply personal and emotional, speaking to the universal human experience of love and loss, and the power of hope and resilience in the face of adversity.

And perhaps tomorrow will be a better day for us.


I know tomorrow is a better day
I am certain that tomorrow will be a better day.

LYRICS

D'you breathe the name of your saviour
In your hour of need?
And taste the blame if the flavor
Should remind you of greed
Of implication, insinuation, and ill-will
'Til you cannot lie still
In all this turmoil, before red cape and foil
Come closing in for a kill
Come feed the rain
'Cause I'm thirsty for your love
Dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
'Cause without your love, my life
Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust, oh
It's all a game, avoiding failure
When true colors will bleed
All in the name of misbehavior
And the things we don't need
I lust for after, no disaster can touch
Touch us anymore
And more than ever, I hope to never fall
Where enough is not the same it was before
Come feed the rain
'Cause I'm thirsty for your love
Dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
'Cause without your love, my life
Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust
Yeah, feed the rain
'Cause I'm thirsty for your love
Dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
'Cause without your love, my life
Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust (carnival of rust)
Don't walk away
Don't walk away, oh, when the world is burning
Don't walk away
Don't walk away, oh, when the heart is yearning
Don't walk away
Don't walk away, oh, when the world is burning
Don't walk away
Don't walk away, oh, when the heart is yearning

Carnival of Rust / Lyrics
To breathe the name
Of your savior
In your hour of need
And taste the blame
If the flavor should remind you of greed
Of implication, insinuation and you will
Till you cannot lie still
In all this turmoil, before red cave and foil
Come closing in for a kill

Come feed the rain
'Cause I'm thirsty for your love
Dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah feed the rain
'Cause without your love, my life
Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust

It's all a game
Avoiding failure
When true colors will bleed
All in the name
Of misbehavior
And the things we don't need

I lust for after no disaster can touch
Touch us anymore
And more than ever, w hope to never fall
Where enough is not the same it was before

Come feed the rain
'Cause I'm thirsty for your love
Dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah feed the rain
'Cause without your love, my life
Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust

Yeah feed the rain
'Cause I'm thirsty for your love,
Dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
'Cause without your love, my life
Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust

Don't walk away, don't walk away
Ooh, when the world is burning
Don't walk away, don't walk away
Ooh, when the heart is yearning
Don't walk away, don't walk away
Ooh, when the world is burning
Don't walk away, don't walk away
Ooh, when the heart is yearning
