The Concept of In Tomorrow Hid Yesterday:
The subjectis something that has followed around with me since I was a kid, this is something that can still keep me staring at the ceiling at nights. The eternal strife, the eternal hunger of the bottomless stomach, the eternalchase after the artificial rabbit. Growing up me and my mother were constantly moving from country to country and from town to town, so I never really got to seaze the moment, set my roots nor the chance to develop anidentity. But in retrospect I learned alot about myself, I early on learned to appreciate small things that I had taken forgranted before, from time to time telling myself this might all be gone tomorrow. Eventhough we went through tough economical crisises and various problems, it's the beautiful memories that stay the clearest. I early on understood that it wasn't the kids with the cool toys I would come to miss everytime I left, it was my friends, and it wasn't the kind man that always gave me neat gifts that i would come to miss, it was the person that's my father. The title track is about people who dedicate their whole lives to these materialistic pleasures. Eventhough we would like to think of ourselves as the super evolved modern man, we still work by the same principles as cavemen did thousands of years ago, who's the biggest and strongest, measuring genitals, who's got the longest and most colourful tailfeathers? It's only our surrounding evolving. We have these TV role models fuzzing about whether or not you're as important regardless of your economical status, your looks and your place in this great pyramid. Then the following day it's the same people bragging about their neat toys, positions and about how fucking awesome they are. The same people teaching how to achieve greater "success", how to get better looks and how to become powerful and awesome like them...There goes moral. And it's the next generation that gets their brains hypnotized with this way of life, with artificial and taught values. And god knows being left out or not being accepted is the worst thing that could ever happen to us! Even worse than becoming a machine! And then at the end of the day, ironically it's the same people getting mental breakdowns, getting movie biographies about their short, tragic lives and how nobody understood them, getting caught as rapists and pedophiles. Yeah, that's what I call success. If there would be a message in this concept, it would not be me preaching about what you should consider as valuable in life, who am I to tell you that? It's just a reminder that sometimes take a look around you, tell yourself that this might all be gone tomorrow.
