In The Morning
Teddy Holly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I'm left with any
Feels so pointless
Since hindsight's 20/20
But the futures blind
A lesson to learn
To laugh looking back
To see any not yearn
And as hours pass by
And nightfall appears
We're all slowly split
In half its not clear
Where the line is drawn
We just know it exists
And by the end of the day
We all insist
That I don't know how I'll feel about this in the morning
I don't know how I'll feel when I wake
I don't know how I'll feel about this in the morning
Oh maybe its all a mistake
I hope things pan out
I hope the time comes
Where I feel something again
Where I don't feel so numb
To a spinning world
That's moving too fast
Its making me dizzy
Getting caught in the past
And I don't know how I'll feel about this in the morning
I don't know how I'll feel when I wake
I don't know how I'll feel about this in the morning
Oh maybe its all a mistake
And somehow I don't
I tell myself I can but I won't
I gave up my fight
With all that I used to
To get through the night
So I don't know how I'll feel about this in the morning
I don't know how I'll feel when I wake
I don't know how I'll feel about this in the morning
Oh maybe its all a mistake
And I don't know how I'll feel about this in the morning
I don't know how I'll feel when I wake
I don't know how I'll feel about this in the morning
Oh maybe its all a mistake
Oh maybe its nothing to fake
Maybe there's non left to take
Oh maybe its all a mistake
The lyrics of Teddy Holly's song "In the Morning" explore themes of uncertainty, reflection, and hopelessness. In the first verse, the singer reflects on the effort they have put into something, but now it seems pointless in hindsight. The line "hindsight's 20/20" suggests that looking back, they can see clearly how their efforts were in vain. However, they acknowledge that the future is uncertain and it is a lesson to learn, to laugh at their past mistakes and not long for what they can't change.
In the chorus, the singer expresses their uncertainty about how they will feel in the morning, when they wake up. They are unsure if they will feel regret or if what they are going through is all a big mistake. It reflects a sense of confusion and insecurity about the outcome of their current situation.
In the second verse, the singer hopes that things will work out eventually and that they will regain the ability to feel something again. They feel numb and disconnected from a fast-paced world that overwhelms them, causing them to become fixated on their past. This verse evokes a longing for a sense of purpose and stability.
The third verse reveals a sense of resignation and acceptance. The singer admits that they don't know how they will feel in the morning, but deep down, they know they won't be able to change their perspective or feelings. They have given up the fight and abandoned their past way of coping and moving forward. This verse portrays a sense of defeat and a lack of hope.
Finally, the last lines of the song continue the theme of uncertainty and self-doubt. The singer questions whether everything they have been through is just a mistake or if there is nothing substantial left to hold onto. The repetition of "maybe" throughout the lyrics suggests a lack of certainty and a feeling of being lost.
Overall, the lyrics of "In the Morning" convey a sense of introspection, mixed emotions, and a struggle with uncertainty. The song explores the complexities of human emotions and the difficulty of predicting how one will feel in the future. It evokes a feeling of vulnerability and the search for meaning in the midst of confusion.
Line by Line Meaning
All the effort I gave
Every ounce of energy and dedication I put into this
If I'm left with any
If there's anything remaining after all is said and done
Feels so pointless
Seems devoid of meaning or purpose
Since hindsight's 20/20
Because we always see things clearer in retrospect
But the futures blind
Yet, the future remains uncertain and unclear
A lesson to learn
An experience to gain wisdom from
To laugh looking back
To find amusement in reflecting on past events
To see any not yearn
To avoid longing for what could have been
And as hours pass by
With the passage of time
And nightfall appears
As darkness blankets the sky
We're all slowly split
We gradually divide and separate
In half its not clear
The division is not easily discernible
Where the line is drawn
The exact demarcation is unknown
We just know it exists
We are aware of its existence
And by the end of the day
When the day comes to a close
We all insist
We all firmly assert
That I don't know how I'll feel about this in the morning
I am uncertain about my emotions towards this situation when I wake up
I don't know how I'll feel when I wake
I have no knowledge of my emotional state upon awakening
Oh maybe its all a mistake
Perhaps all of this is just an error or misjudgment
I hope things pan out
I desire for things to work out well
I hope the time comes
I hope a specific moment arrives
Where I feel something again
Where I experience emotions once more
Where I don't feel so numb
Where I am no longer emotionally desensitized
To a spinning world
To a constantly changing and unpredictable world
That's moving too fast
That is progressing rapidly
Its making me dizzy
It is causing me to feel disoriented
Getting caught in the past
Becoming trapped in memories of previous times
And somehow I don't
Yet, for some reason, I am unable to
I tell myself I can but I won't
I try to convince myself that I am capable, but I choose not to
I gave up my fight
I surrendered my struggle
With all that I used to
With everything that once motivated me
To get through the night
To endure the darkness and uncertainty
Oh maybe its nothing to fake
Perhaps there is no need to pretend
Maybe there's non left to take
Possibly, there are no more opportunities or chances remaining
Oh maybe its all a mistake
It is conceivable that everything is an error or misjudgment
