(feat. Timo Maas)

I see you found my underground
Help yourself to guns and ammo Placebo
Nothing here has ever seen the light of day
I leave it in my head First

It's the first day of the rest of your life Day

You'll remember me
For the rest of your life





Don't fuck it up

Overall Meaning

The song "First Day" by Placebo featuring Timo Maas is an intense and edgy track that speaks of an underground world where nothing has ever seen the light of day. The lyrics can be interpreted in a few different ways, but the overall idea seems to be one of being "initiated" into a darker, more dangerous world. The opening lines invite the listener to partake in their underground activities by arming themselves and taking what they need. The phrase "Nothing here has ever seen the light of day" insinuates that this is a place where secrets are kept, and clandestine activities take place, sheltered from the outside world.


The chorus of the song, "It's the first day of the rest of your life," is a line that has been used in many different contexts over the years. In the context of this song, it's an invitation to the listener to enter into a new phase of their life, one that is dangerous and exhilarating. The next line, "You'll remember me for the rest of your life," is also a warning. It suggests that once you've entered this world, there's no going back, and the consequences of your actions will follow you forever.


The final line of the song, "Don't fuck it up," is a stark reminder that this world comes with its own set of rules and consequences, and you had better be prepared to deal with them. The song is a powerful statement about the allure of danger and the price of admission into a world that is hidden from view, but one that can be all-consuming once you enter it.
