Peaceful Day
Pennywise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We got the answers in our sights now
But somehow still we struggle along
Looking for solutions in a threatening sky
But we never get an answer
Just a chorus of voices wondering why
We're stuck here without a peaceful day
It's a promise in the night I'll be okay
The superlative is telling me that help is on the way
Won't someone tell me how will I make it through today
Looking towards the future and all I can see
Is the next generation looking back
With pity on me
Hunting for some insight or mean to change
But do we have the will to or will our
Future look the same
How can I live when you won't let me in
How can I die without reasons why
How can I laugh when I want to cry
How can I go on with nothing nowhere
How will I make it
through today?
Pennywise's song "Peaceful Day" is a powerful declaration of society's collective struggle to find peace and positivity amidst chaos and uncertainty. The song starts off with a somber opening line, "Listen up everyone there's something wrong", setting the tone for the rest of the song's introspective journey. The singer acknowledges that humanity is aware of the solutions to their problems, but still grapples to implement them in their daily lives. The repeated line "looking for solutions in a threatening sky, but we never get an answer" highlights the frustration that comes from feeling helpless and lost.
The chorus takes a slightly more uplifting turn, as the singer acknowledges that peace and comfort will eventually come. The line "It's a promise in the night I'll be okay, the superlative is telling me that help is on the way" suggests that although we may feel lost and alone, help and comfort is on the horizon. The song takes on a more melancholy tone in the third verse as the singer reflects on their internal strife- trying to positively change themselves, but wondering if it will matter in the grand scheme of things. The song ends with a cry of desperation and despair - "How will I make it through today?" - echoing the collective feeling of helplessness that the song communicates.

Listen up everyone there's something wrong
Attention everyone, there is an issue that needs to be addressed
We got the answers in our sights now
We have the solutions in front of us
But somehow still we struggle along
Despite having the solutions, we are still having difficulty
Looking for solutions in a threatening sky
We are searching for answers amidst an intimidating environment
But we never get an answer
No matter how hard we try, we don't receive a response
Just a chorus of voices wondering why
All we hear is a group of people questioning why this is happening
We're stuck here without a peaceful day
We are unable to live in peace and harmony
It's a promise in the night I'll be okay
I have faith that things will improve
The superlative is telling me that help is on the way
I believe that help is coming
Won't someone tell me how will I make it through today
I am unsure how to move forward
Looking towards the future and all I can see
When I think about the future, all I see is
Is the next generation looking back
The following generation looking at us with disappointment
With pity on me
Because of my current situation, they will view me with sadness
Hunting for some insight or mean to change
I am searching for some guidance to make a difference
But do we have the will to or will our
However, will we be motivated to make a change or
Future look the same
Will our future remain unchanged?
How can I live when you won't let me in
I feel excluded and unable to fully participate in society
How can I die without reasons why
I am unable to comprehend why death occurs
How can I laugh when I want to cry
At times, I want to cry instead of laugh
How can I go on with nothing nowhere
It's difficult for me to continue when there is no clear course of action
How will I make it
I am unsure if I'll be able to overcome these challenges
