You Won't B Here Lyrics

That was always
intended for you.
It doesn�t matter
Who you answer to.
Your heart will break
Whatever you do.
But you won�t b here
Tomorrow.

You might not get
What you were promised.
You might be hollow
Under all of the dust.
But you are hurting
Everyone you touch.
And they won�t b here
Tomorrow.

They won�t b here tomorrow.
They won�t b here tomorrow.
They won�t b here tomorrow.
They won�t b here tomorrow.
They won�t b here tomorrow.

I think the first line sounds like "that was always intended for you"

oh and it's definitely "under all the dust" instead of "after all the deaths"

I think the song is about AIDS.

The call of a stranger, in this cynical but still realistic view, leads to heartbreak but in this case: 'but you won't be here tomorrow', the echoed vocals of 'tomorrow' suggesting an omniscience, an inevitable prophecy.

Imbued, perhaps with rage and vengence, the victim denies themself empathy for others: 'but you are hurting everyone you touch'.

In this interpretation the song brings attention to the harsh reality of many AIDS victims, and provides a fable for the unlasting solace of revenge.
