Lonely Day
♫♪System of a Down Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Such a lonely day
And it's mine
The most loneliest day of my life

Such a lonely day
Should be banned
It's day that I can't stand
The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life

Such a lonely day
Shouldn't exist
It's day that Ill never miss
Such a lonely day
And it's mine
The most loneliest day of my life

And if you go, I wanna go with you
And if you die, I wanna die with you

Take your hand and walk away

The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life (life)

Such a lonely day




And it's mine
Is day that I'm glad I survived

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of System of a Down’s “Lonely Day” express the feelings of despair and hopelessness that someone feels on what they consider the most lonesome day of their life. The repetition of the phrase “the most loneliest day of my life” emphasizes the depth of the emotion. The lyrics suggest that the person is so unhappy that they wish the day could be erased and never happen again. The use of the word “banned” underscores the intensity of the sentiment. It’s as if the person is experiencing a level of misery that is unbearable and should not be allowed to exist. The final lines suggest that the person is only interested in being with the person they love, and if they cannot be with them, life is not worth living at all.


The lyrics of “Lonely Day” are a reflection of the mental state of the band members of System of a Down at the time. The song was created during a period of creative uncertainty, and while the members weren’t in danger of breaking up, they were struggling to find their way. In contrast to the complex and often elongated lyrics that characterize their other works, “Lonely Day” is a simpler composition that reflects their mood at the time. It is a melancholy tune that strikes at the heart of what it means to be alone and unsupported.

Perfect song for that 2AM night ride. Either with your friends or all by yourself.

@seelowe88

I'd rather listen this song when I'm driving alone. When I'm listening to this song alone while night drive, I can dive deeper into my thoughts and just enjoy the drive.
