Morning Comes
T and S Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The tide comes in, I watch it all wash away.
But I'm keeping it steady, that's just how I was raised
Head held up, walking tall into each broken wave
And this heart grows tired
I found a good woman
I found a job that pays
But I’m keeping it steady, that’s just how I was raised
Head held up walking tall into each breaking wave
'Cause the devil’s in the details and he’s taking his toll
Sending good men down the foot trails of some lost lonely souls
And I say oh, oh
Rain don’t change the sun
Jealous is the night when the morning comes
But it always comes
So I’m working the graveyard, I don’t sleep till it’s light
Ain’t calling in favors, I can’t swallow my pride
And the bank’s on a mission, they want to read me my rights
But they ever show up around here, they’re going to be in for a fight
'Cause the devil’s in my hometown and I ain’t telling him no
'Cause it’s my family, it’s my love now, that I’m scared to let go
And I say oh, oh
Rain don’t change the sun
Jealous is the night when the morning comes
But it always comes
Followed the track of my needle
Tried to be good to my people
So why’s there no peace?
No break no relief
Can I be blamed if I’m angry?
Can I be saved if I’m barely clinging to hope?
I’m clinging to hope
When I say oh, oh
Rain don’t change the sun
Jealous is the night when the morning comes
But it always comes
It always rains down on us
And like an old dog lying by a new gravestone
It’s still our home
It’s still our home
So if you ever feel like you are alone
After the night
The morning comes
The lyrics of "Morning Comes" by T and S reflect an individual trying to navigate the ups and downs of life while also wrestling with the idea of feeling trapped. The individual in the song feels a sense of accomplishment in finding a good job and a loving partner, but still feels the pressure of life's difficulties as they come crashing in like waves on the shore. However, they remain steadfast in the face of adversity, knowing that their resilience comes from being raised with a sense of determination and perseverance.
It becomes evident in the song that the singer is struggling with the weight of their own personal demons, which have created some form of isolation and detachment from their community. There is a sense of frustration with the devilish details of life that seem to take their toll and leave good men down the paths of lost souls. The singer is wary of holding on too tightly to their past as they fear that it may hold them back, but they also struggle with letting go of their roots and those they love.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the singer is fighting to hold onto hope and stay optimistic despite the challenges they face. They are working long hours in the graveyard shift to provide for themselves and their loved ones, despite the challenges they face from the bank and other obstacles. However, there is an ever-present sense of struggle that prevents them from achieving peace and stability.
The song's overarching message is that life has both ups and downs, and while things may seem bleak at times, the morning always comes with new opportunities for growth and change. It encourages the listener to hold onto hope and persevere through challenging times, even if it means fighting the devil's details.
