Further
Tomorrows Bad Seeds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looks like today could never be exactly what I had dreamed
The proof's on your face and it's further away from me
Soon it's all gone, moment of clarity and I'm not far behind

Further and further is where you chose to move
'Cause sooner or later it'll catch up to you

It won't be the same... Should never be!
So much further than it seems
Like yesterday and it's further away from me
Soon it's all gone, moment of clarity and I'm not far behind

Further and further is where you chose to move
'Cause sooner or later it'll catch up to you
Further and further is what you chose to do, oh what you chose to do

Looks like today could never be exactly what I had dreamed
The proof's on your face and it's further away from me
Soon it's all gone, moment of clarity and I'm not far behind

Further and further is wehre you chose to move
'Cause sooner or later it'll catch up to you
Further and further is what you chose to do, oh what you chose to do





Looks like today could never be exactly what I had dreamed
Like yesterday and it's further and further

Overall Meaning

"Further" by Tomorrows Bad Seeds talks about the bitter reality of life that often shatters our dreams and takes us further away from the things we want to achieve. The song begins with the realization that today doesn't seem like what the singer had dreamed of, and the evidence is apparent on the face of the person they are addressing. The chorus emphasizes how everything seems to be slipping away, and the moment of clarity sets in that nothing is the same, and it should never be. The singer acknowledges that they are not far behind as the person they are addressing has chosen to move further away.


The second verse reiterates that the person addressed has moved further away, and sooner or later, it will catch up to them. The repetition of "further and further" in the chorus emphasizes that the person addressed has chosen to move away, and this decision will catch up to them eventually. The song ends with the singer acknowledging that life may never be precisely what they had dreamed it would be, and the further they go, the more distant everything becomes.


In conclusion, "Further" is an introspective song that emphasizes the bitter aspect of reality. It is a reminder that every decision we make has consequences, and moving further without a clear plan can lead us away from our dreams.
