Shylock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Which is so unreal?
We hide our tears
In the name
Of our broken shame
Why can’t we break the walls of our fate?
There’s no tomorrow for me and you
There’s no tomorrow
There’s no tomorrow for me and you
We’ll face the sorrow of no tomorrow
Open your eyes
‘cause this world’s drowning in our lies
When will we see
That our dreams end in misery?
Why can’t we see the signs of the time?
Lord, don’t you stop all the crime
There’s no tomorrow for me and you
There’s no tomorrow
There’s no tomorrow for me and you
We’ll face the sorrow of no tomorrow
Why can’t we break the walls of our fate?
Wake up before it’s too late
There’s no tomorrow for me and you
There’s no tomorrow
There’s no tomorrow for me and you
We’ll face the sorrow of no tomorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow
In this song, Shylock reflects on the perceived unreality of the world we live in and questions why we continue to exist in a dream-like state. He suggests that we hide our true emotions and tears, masking them under a facade of broken shame.
Shylock expresses frustration and a desire to escape the predetermined fate that seems to surround us. He urges us to wake up from our slumber before it's too late, implying that time is running out. By breaking the metaphorical walls that confine us, he believes we can alter our destiny.
The lyrics emphasize the absence of hope for the future and the impending sorrow that awaits. Shylock repeats the line "There's no tomorrow for me and you," suggesting a bleak outlook and a sense of hopelessness. The repetition reinforces the idea that regardless of our actions or intentions, there is no escape from this impending sorrow.
Shylock prompts us to open our eyes and recognize the lies that pervade the world we live in. He questions when we will realize that our dreams only lead to misery, highlighting the disillusionment and disappointment we may face when our aspirations are shattered.
The final repetition of "No tomorrow" serves as a somber conclusion to the song, emphasizing the absence of any future prospects or possibilities. It reinforces the idea that we are trapped in a cycle of despair, unable to break free and find a brighter tomorrow.
