tomorrow might be my favorite song by the band. the lyrics are laced together so intricately and with so much purpose it makes me almost cry. its about this complicated person who no longer wants to live. people have been tearing his self-esteem down for so long that there is nothing left.
"But if you find a way to break my back
With needles, thread, and guilt
Will you cover me in kerosene
And burn my strychnine quilt"
now his back, what holds him up and contols his actions, is a cruel fuck-the-world attitude thatis self destructive and can only be brocken by the guilt of his actions and changed by the sewing back up of his heart that has been torn wide in two. but he doesnt stop there. he has to make sure that its all done away with. he needs her to burn his the posion that drentches every aspect of himself.
"Will you wake up feeling half of you
Has been striped or torn in two
To kill a young man’s point of view
Is to kill his only friend"
this part is really amazing. hes saying that his point of veiw on life is his only friend and if she were to kill it, it would be like killing herself. wat i find really interesting though is that he says half of her would be stripped away. like there is possibly another point of view that he might have. maybe hes not all poisoned and he can live after all.
essentially its about being in a shitty state of mind and haveing only one person that understands you while the rest of the world fucks you and you hate yourself for what you have become. the second half is almost a suicide note saying he and his love are leaving to try what is ever next togther. i dont know but i still get the feeling that, there inside of him, nomatter how small, is a part that hungers for live and has a longing to belong. and that longing is the fuel to the battle he will fight for life. wanting to and almost giving up. thats wat the song is about.
at the beginning its suicide but he wants a reason to live but then he asks her"will you spit upon the path I took will you cry from all the drugs I shook"basically will she or anyone care"will you be my little come down hook and ill never ask again"saying will she or anyone help him or give him a reason just this once"will you wake up feeling half of you has been stripped away or torn in two"will anyone care or feel anything if he kills himself "is to kill a young mans point of view is to kill...
