Better Days
& SONS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Were you strong
Did they push you back somehow
On the way back to your home
Were they wrong
Did they let you fall back down
They pushed me back
The emptiness of never
It's the air we breathe that
Fills the skies we see
And glides the planes to better days
It's what you make of it
To the one who listen
In the end it's your decision
To glide the planes to better days
On the way back to your home
You belong
How does it feel moving on
Darker days have come and gone
They were wrong
It's time to get up
Move out
Be strong
They pushed me back
Now I can see
The emptiness of never
It's the air we breathe that
Fills the skies we see
And glides the planes to better days
It's what you make of it
To the ones who listen
In the end it's your decision
To glide the planes to better days
It's what you make of it
Don't run away
I know
It's the best time
To take mine
Cause your my
Everyday thing
It's the best things you've forgotten
It's the air we breathe that
Fills the skies we see
And glides the planes to better days
It's what you make of it
To the ones who listen
In the end it's your decision
To glide the planes to better days
To glide the planes to better days
Better days

The lyrics to & Sons' "Better Days" seem to be an anthem of resilience and overcoming adversity. The song begins by asking if the listener was strong on their way back home, and if they were pushed back somehow. It's unclear who or what the singer is referring to, but the following lines suggest that the listener was able to rise above it and find their place. The chorus emphasizes that it's ultimately up to the individual to make the best of their circumstances and find a way to "glide the planes to better days."
The second verse continues the theme of resilience, encouraging the listener to move forward and not be held back by past darkness. The line "they were wrong" is repeated, perhaps indicating that someone may have doubted the listener's ability to succeed. However, the song urges the listener to be strong and not let those doubts hold them back. The bridge of the song changes tone slightly, suggesting a romantic connection, but still emphasizing the idea that one's daily life can be meaningful and rewarding.
Overall, "Better Days" seems to be a song about picking oneself up after difficult times and finding a way to keep moving forward. Whether that means finding solace in daily life, or making positive changes to create a brighter future, the song encourages resilience and determination.
