Topley-Bird and Tricky have one child together, a daughter, born one month after the release of Maxinquaye....I bet this song/lyric is the aftermath of that collaboration.
For once, there's someone for he, for she. (by blood offspring,I guess that is what they are referring to)
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 (see...reference to the baby in the literal sense)
(Tricky then explains the day perhaps she announced that she is having his baby, the drop bombs maybe referring to his reality, he walked away from her and baby and ended up at the pub and he felt depressed)
It was a day like no other
Clocks [hanging off]
It was said they dropped the bomb
And I walked out the door
Feeling lonely, [I see rain/as a ray]
Thinking of what was once
So I go in search of people
[Song of] the inhabitants
The air is filled with chemicals
So this is the aftermath
Walking over rubble
Which was once [cause's calf]
Down to the center
Which used to be central
(I guess Tricky's feelings were at the initial outset was his uncertainty for the feelings for his child and within himself)
"How can I
"How can I
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
