Payday
Aguava Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've been singing for a long time
Don't often times you get worried,
And so discouraged?
But I wasn't worried about that
Because I know the Lord is going to pay me one day

When do we get paid for the work we've done? (Oh Lord)
When do we get paid for the work we've done? (Wait a minute here)
When do we get paid for the work we've done? (When do we get paid?)
When do we get paid for the work that we've done? (All that I need, I say)

only thing we're worried about
only thing we're worried about
only thing we're worried about
only thing we're worried about

When do we get paid for the work we've done? (When do we get paid?)
When do we get paid for the work that we've done? (All that I need, I say)
When do we get paid for the work we've done? (When do we get paid?)
When do we get paid for the work that we've done? (All that I need, I say)
When do we get paid?




When do we get paid?
Ain't no harm to moan sometimes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Aguava's song "Payday" convey a sense of frustration and longing for recognition and reward for one's efforts. The opening lines express empathy towards someone who has been singing for a long time but still feels worried and discouraged. However, the singer reassures that they themselves are not worried because they believe that the Lord will eventually pay them for all their hard work.


The repetition of the question "When do we get paid for the work we've done?" reflects the underlying theme of the song, which is the desire for compensation and acknowledgement for one's labor. It conveys a sense of anticipation for the day when they will finally receive their due rewards. The repetition of this question, along with the affirmation that all they need is to be paid, emphasizes the importance of recognition and financial stability in their lives.


The phrase "Ain't no harm to moan sometimes" at the end acknowledges the validity of expressing frustration and disappointment. It suggests that it is natural to question and yearn for the fruits of their labor. Through these lyrics, "Payday" captures the universal desire for validation and financial security, while also offering a glimmer of hope that one day their hard work will be recognized and rewarded.
