In The Morning
Tori Forsyth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But she don't wanna hear your voice
Don′t wanna know your name
She ain't gonna lie, she don't want you stay
And unlike other girls, she′ll do it all for free
Walking backwards, with a bitter taste
Feeling forward, feeling out of place
This ain't wonderland, that she′s gotta face
Care in the world like a pocket full of grease
Hand now black like her heart that you can't see
She′ll look your way, look you in the eye
Change in the air and now your hands are tied
'Call me in the morning,′ is what they usuall
y say' is a common phrase used to indicate a casual, non-committal relationship, a one-night stand or a fling. However, the singer in the song seems to defy this stereotype. She refuses to be just another notch on someone's belt, and she doesn't want any emotional entanglement. She's almost dismissive of the idea of a "morning call" and doesn't want to hear from this person again. This creates an intriguing contrast between what we expect from these kinds of relationships and what the singer truly wants.
The lyrics suggest that the singer has had her share of heartbreak and is now walking away from it all. 'Unlike other girls, she'll do it all for free' suggests that she is using this fling to get over past loves and doesn't want the burden of expectations or commitments. The bitterness in her tone also suggests that she's been hurt before and is nothing like the other girls who would cling to a relationship for money or material gain. The lyrics then paint a picture of someone who's uncertain about the future and doesn't know the way forward, metaphorized as a 'child's map turned into a maze'. It is evident that the singer wants to move on but is at a loss on how to get there.
Overall, 'In The Morning' by Tori Forsyth is a soulful ballad that talks about relationships without sugar-coating the harsh reality. The lyrics showcase the human reality of heartbreak, loneliness, and uncertainty, leading to a nuanced interpretation of what truly matters in relationships.

Saw u in the morning fairy out of my dream.
With a sherik in her scream.
its for him its for him.
Blood spurting out the brim.
Like a moment never been reamed.
Unable to understand the seedy seam.
Broken two players team.
Long that short whiped ink blot.
Like a short hop Bob.
ripped and got robbed.
That broken heart drop.
Those hickeys globs.
Right way on a blind grops.
In anger in all alone with a name to plop.
Saw u in the morning fairy out of my dream.
With a sherik in her scream.
its for him its for him.
Blood spurting out the brim.
Like a moment never been reamed.
Unable to understand the seedy seam.
Broken two players team.
Can't forget the past can't break the trust.
Leaving each other was must.
Dint it made it clear at firsrt.
When it was morning dust.
When there was start in lust
Like a brink on a forest.
With no steps and no trace.
Those snatches of the conversation
earsed.
