Every Day I Die
Andy Fairweather Low Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't help but loose
I'm a river run in ocean that has died
An off since not will fade away
When I said all I've got to say and
Leave only a memory behind
Every day I die
I'll just waste my life away
Every day I die i'm on a flight to nowhere
With a head that's filled with sand
I'm a shipwreck in the ruins of a song
And I understand but can't believe
Poison ash been put on me and
Still I sop and need and watch it fall
Every day I die
I know I'm a fool but it's too late to cry
I'll just waste my life away
Every day I die
Many moon and much magic can
Ease away the pain
Now the seagulls in the sky
Have love but not me now I find it hard to
Cope I'm not that far behind, No oh
But the sad thing is that no-one really cares
Every day I die
I know I'm a fool but it's too late to cry
I'll just waste my life away
Every day I die
Every day I die
I know I'm a fool but it's too late to cry
I'll just waste my life away
Every day I die
The lyrics to Andy Fairweather Low's song "Every Day I Die" convey a sense of resignation and hopelessness. The opening lines, "Every day has its own dog, and I can't help but lose," suggest a constant struggle and defeat in the face of life's challenges. The metaphor of being a "river run in ocean that has died" further emphasizes the feeling of being overwhelmed and powerless. The singer feels like an outsider, unable to make a lasting impact or leave a meaningful legacy.
The chorus, "Every day I die, I know I'm a fool but it's too late to cry, I'll just waste my life away," reveals a deep self-awareness of one's own shortcomings and regrets. It speaks to a sense of resignation and acceptance of a life filled with missed opportunities and unfulfilled potential. The repeated phrase "every day I die" highlights the persistent pain and emotional struggle that the singer experiences.
The verses continue to explore the singer's feelings of despair and isolation. References to being "on a flight to nowhere" and having a "head that's filled with sand" further emphasize a sense of aimlessness and confusion. The metaphor of being a "shipwreck in the ruins of a song" suggests a loss of joy and inspiration, as well as a feeling of being abandoned or overlooked. The lyrics also touch on the theme of longing for love and connection, as the singer mentions feeling left behind and finding it hard to cope.
Overall, "Every Day I Die" captures a profound sense of hopelessness and resignation, reflecting on a life filled with regrets, missed opportunities, and a lack of fulfillment. It portrays the singer as a defeated individual who is trapped in a cycle of despair and unable to break free.

Every day has it's own dog and
Every day brings its own challenges and difficulties
I can't help but loose
I cannot help but experience defeat
I'm a river run in ocean that has died
I feel like a small and insignificant part of something greater that has lost its vitality
An off since not will fade away
A feeling of uneasiness and discontentment that will not disappear easily
When I said all I've got to say and
When I have expressed everything that I needed to say and
Leave only a memory behind
Leave behind only a memory of my presence
Every day I die
Every day, I feel like a part of me is dying
I know I'm a fool but it's too late to cry
I am aware of my foolishness but there is no point in lamenting it now
I'll just waste my life away
I will continue to squander my existence
Every day I die i'm on a flight to nowhere
Every day, I feel like I am aimlessly drifting towards nothingness
With a head that's filled with sand
With a mind clouded by confusion and ignorance
I'm a shipwreck in the ruins of a song
I am like a destroyed and forgotten piece of a once beautiful creation
And I understand but can't believe
I comprehend the situation, but I struggle to accept it
Poison ash been put on me and
I have been tainted and harmed by a toxic influence
Still I sop and need and watch it fall
Nevertheless, I absorb and crave for more while witnessing its downfall
Many moon and much magic can
The passage of time and the power of enchantment can
Ease away the pain
Gradually alleviate the suffering
Now the seagulls in the sky
Now the seagulls in the sky
Have love but not me now I find it hard to
Experience love, but I now struggle to
Cope I'm not that far behind, No oh
Deal with the situation, and I'm not too far behind, No oh
But the sad thing is that no-one really cares
But the unfortunate reality is that no one truly cares
Every day I die
Every day, I feel like a part of me is dying
I know I'm a fool but it's too late to cry
I am aware of my foolishness but there is no point in lamenting it now
I'll just waste my life away
I will continue to squander my existence
Every day I die
Every day, I feel like a part of me is dying

Every day I die
Every day has it's own dog and I can't help but loose
I'm a river run in ocean that has died

Every day I die
I know I'm a fool but it's too late to cry
I'll just waste my life away

Still I sop and need and watch it fall
Every day I die
I know I'm a fool but it's too late to cry
I'll just waste my life away
Every day I die
Many moon and much magic can ease away the pain
Now the seagulls in the sky have love but not me
Now [?] I find it hard to cope I'm not that far behind, no oh

Everyday has its own dog and I can't help but loose
I'm a river run in ocean that has died
An off since not will fade away
When I said all I've got to say and
leave only a memory behind.
(Chorus)
Everyday I die
I know I'm a fool but it's too late to cry
I'll just waste my life away
Everyday I die.
I'm on a flight to nowhere
With a head that's filled with sand
I'm a shipwreck in the ruins of a song
And I understand but can't believe
Poison ash been put on me and
Still I sop and need and watch it fall.
(Chorus)
Many moons and much magic can't ease away the pain
Now the seagulls in the sky are laughing at me
although I find it hard to cope I'm not that far beyond all hope
But the sad thing is that no one really cares.
