Tomorrow
Vivian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gotta little kink sometimes that shadow's my life.
Spendin' all my free time broke and just hangin' around.
So much to do today but I can't shake a leg.
I've made up my mind to break free of what's draggin' me down!
Tomorrow I will do it (yeah)!
Today I'm too tired (yeah)!
So let me do it later, do it later!
I ask myself what I have done wrong?
Wastin' my time, waiting for so long
I'm waiting for tomorrow, just waiting for tomorrow!

I Gotta lot to do today but I can't do it now.
I waste a lotta time on it like I had nothing to do.
Spinning round like a fool on fire that's what I do!
I'd give myself a kick in the ass but maybe not today!
Tomorrow I will do it (yeah)!
Today I'm too tired (yeah)!
So let me do it later, do it later!
I ask myself what I have done wrong?




Wastin' my time, waiting for so long
I'm waiting for tomorrow, just waiting for tomorrow!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Vivian's song "Tomorrow" convey the common struggle of procrastination and the constant postponement of responsibilities. The opening lines, "Gotta little kink sometimes that shadow's my life," suggests that there is something holding the singer back, causing a hindrance in their life. This could refer to a personal flaw or weakness that occasionally overwhelms them.


The following lines, "Spendin' all my free time broke and just hangin' around," highlight the tendency to waste time and not utilize it effectively. The singer acknowledges that there is a lot to do but lacks the motivation and energy to start, saying, "So much to do today but I can't shake a leg." They have reached a point where they have made up their mind to break free from this pattern, to no longer be dragged down.


The chorus, "Tomorrow I will do it, today I'm too tired, so let me do it later," captures the inner conflict between their desire to take action and their current state of exhaustion and lack of motivation. They continuously put off tasks, hoping that tomorrow will be a better day to accomplish them. The repetition of the line, "I'm waiting for tomorrow, just waiting for tomorrow," emphasizes the constant delay and the reliance on an unknown future instead of taking immediate action.


In the second verse, the lyrics mirror and reinforce the same theme of procrastination and wasting time. The lines, "I waste a lotta time on it like I had nothing to do" and "Spinning round like a fool on fire, that's what I do!" further depict the singer's realization of their own unproductiveness. They acknowledge that they need to make a change and take control, but are unable to muster the effort, perhaps due to fatigue or a lack of motivation.
