About Group Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are taken apart
Everything that I
I thought we had
Made at the start
With each new way
Of rethinking our mark
With each new day
We are taken apart
Everything that I
I thought we had
Made at the start
With each new way
Of rethinking our mark
We're falling apart
The song "With Each New Day" by About Group portrays the painful experience of losing someone or something that was once cherished. The repeated phrase "With each new day, we are taken apart" emphasizes the gradual and continuous process of separation that is taking place. The singer is struggling to come to terms with the fact that everything they had once believed to be stable and secure is now falling apart. They feel powerless and unable to control the situation as it slips away from them.
The lines "With each new way of rethinking our mark, I am falling apart" highlight the impact of reevaluation and changing perspectives. As people grow and develop, their beliefs, values, and priorities may shift, and such changes can lead to the disintegration of relationships and connections that were once strong. The repetition of the phrase "We're falling apart" intensifies the sense of loss and despair that the singer is experiencing, suggesting that the outcome is inevitable.
Overall, "With Each New Day" evokes a sense of grieving for something that is slipping away despite the singer's efforts to hold on. It is a poignant reminder that sometimes, things we hold close to our hearts may not be meant to last forever.
