on A Good Day
Above & Beyond Presents OceanLab Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A little bit lonely
Little bit cold here
A little bit feared
But I hold on
And I
Feel strong
Know that I can
Getting used to it
Lit the fuse to it
Like to know who I am
Been talking to myself forever, yeah
And how I wish I knew me better, yeah
Still sitting on a shelf and never
Never seen the sun shine brighter
And it feels like me
On a good day
And it feels like me
On a good day
Been talking to myself forever, yeah
And how I wish I knew me better, yeah
Still sitting on a shelf and never
Never seen the sun shine brighter
And it feels like me
On a good day
On a good day
On a good day
And it feels like me
On a good day
The lyrics to "On A Good Day" by Above & Beyond pres. OceanLab vs. Gareth Emery paint a picture of someone who has experienced feelings of loneliness, fear, and uncertainty. However, despite these challenges, the person acknowledges that they have managed to hold on and feel strong. The lyrics express the idea that getting used to challenges and difficulties is important, as it allows us to light a fuse towards self-discovery and getting to know ourselves better. The repetition of the line "been talking to myself forever" and the wish to know oneself better suggest a sense of self-reflection and introspection. The chorus culminates in the idea that, though there are struggles, it feels like "me" on a good day.
The lyrics can be interpreted as an affirmation of the human experience - that while there are moments of difficulty and self-doubt, there are also moments of feeling strong and confident. The repetitive nature of the song highlights the cyclical nature of emotions and the importance of acknowledging both the struggles and the resilience of the human spirit.
Overall, "On A Good Day" is a powerful song that encourages listeners to hold on during challenging times and acknowledge their own strength in the face of adversity.
