Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For once, there's someone for he, for me
Your eyes resemble mine, you see as no others can
Here inherit my kingdom, speak of our (my) people's plans
I'll be here for my baby, for my baby I'll be here (near)
So many things I need to tell you, things you need to hear
Your eyes resemble mine, you see as no others can
Here inherit my kingdom, speak of our people's plans
I'll be here for my baby, for my baby I'll be near
So many things I need to tell you
For once, there's someone for he, for she
For once, there's someone for he, for me
Let me tell you about my mother
For once, there's someone for he, for she
For once, there's someone for he, for me
Your eyes resemble mine, you see as no others can
Here inherit my kingdom, speak of our people's plans
I'll be here for my baby, for my baby I'll be near
So many things (that) I need to tell you, things you need to hear
How can I be sure?
In a world that's constantly changing
How can I be sure?
How can I be sure?
In a world that's constantly changing
How can I be sure?
Just when I thought I was winning
Just when I thought I could not be stopped
Just when I thought I was winning
Just when I thought I could not be stopped
How can I be sure?
The lyrics for "Aftermath" by Tricky feat. Martina Topley Bird explore themes of love, loyalty, and trust in a world that is constantly changing. The chorus of the song, "For once, there's someone for he, for she, for once, there's someone for he, for me," emphasizes the importance of finding someone who truly understands and supports you. The singer's eyes and their beloved's eyes resemble each other, representing their shared understanding and connection beyond what others can comprehend.
The line "Here inherit my kingdom, speak of our people's plans" suggests that the singer has found someone who they trust to carry on their legacy and work towards their shared goals. The repetition of "I'll be here for my baby, for my baby I'll be near" highlights the singer's loyalty to their loved one and their commitment to being there for them through thick and thin.
The second verse takes a sudden turn when the singer brings up their mother, indicating that their relationship with their mother may have influenced their outlook on love and loyalty. The song concludes with the repeated question, "How can I be sure?" expressing the singer's uncertainty in the face of an ever-changing world and their need for reassurance.

Tricky is a titan of Trip Hop. Trip Hop in general is such a wonderful genre.
Production on this track is light years ahead.

Ah, that moment in the mid-'90s, when I simultaneously discovered Tricky, Massive Attack, Portishead, Autechre, The Orb, Orbital, Aphex Twin, U-ziq, Meat Beat Manifesto, Mouse on Mars and Ultramarine. Too good to believe. Now years can pass without any interesting, not to mention electrifying music.
