Tomorrow's World
Ugly Kid Joe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't even care
I've got something for you
You must this beware
Don't say that it's over
I'm still a part of you
Our love is eternal
Your life's getting closer
Will you make the grade
Slowly going nowhere
Will you die afraid?
Everybody dies
The lyrics of "Tomorrow's World" by Ugly Kid Joe are open to interpretation. At first glance, it seems to be about a broken relationship. The singer is addressing a person who doesn't know them or care about them. The singer warns this person of something they have that the other person must be cautious about. The singer pleads with the person to not say that their relationship is over; they are still a part of this person.
However, the tone of the lyrics shifts with the lines "Hope in tomorrow's world, your life's getting closer, will you make the grade, slowly going nowhere, will you die afraid?" These lines suggest that the song is not just about a romantic relationship but about life in general. The "something" that the singer has for the other person may be a warning about the inevitable end of life. The singer reminds the listener that everybody dies and that their "hope" should be for the world of tomorrow, not just for the present moment.
In conclusion, the song "Tomorrow's World" by Ugly Kid Joe is a somber reflection on the fleeting nature of life. It reminds us that everybody dies and that our focus should be on hope for the future, not just on the present.
