Day In Day Out
Architects Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It could take a second
To tear down years of work
And we won't get these days
Back again (back again)

I can't understand why I've been put here
I'm stuck in a world of sympathy
With nobody watching over me

And the words roll over and over
Yet our hearts will never be lifted

Someone, tell me how I've ended up here
With nobody watching over me?

We need to bring back the days we used to love
Before all the color drains away

I can't understand why I've been put here
I'm stuck in a world of sympathy
With nobody watching over me
I can't understand why I've been put here
I'm stuck in a world of sympathy
With nobody watching over me

To all those not living in the here and now
To all those not living in the here and now
To all those not living in the here and now
To all those (sing it loud)

Where did they go?
The days we used to know
Where did they go?
Have I forgotten what it feels like?
Where did they go, where did they go
The days we used to know
Where did they go, where did they go

Have I forgotten what it feels like?





And the words roll over and over
Yet our hearts will never be lifted

Overall Meaning

Architects' song "Day In Day Out" laments the loss of joy and color in life due to the daily grind and monotony of existence. The opening lines suggest that it can take as little as a moment to undo years of hard work, signaling the fragility and uncertainty of life. The chorus expresses confusion and despair at being stuck in a world of sympathy, with nobody watching over the singer. The lyrics also highlight the repetition of negative thoughts and feelings, despite a pervasive desire for change.


The song touches on the idea that people often get caught up in routine and forget to appreciate the small moments of joy that give meaning to life. The repeated question, "Where did they go?" calls back to the title and expresses a longing for a return to the halcyon days of the past, where life was simpler and more enjoyable. The final line, "Yet our hearts will never be lifted," suggests a sense of hopelessness and resignation to the unchanging nature of life.


Overall, "Day In Day Out" conveys a sense of disillusionment with modern life and a yearning for something more.

back in the day i found that album too simple in contrast to the earlier works, looking back it was the perfect bridge between older and daybreaker - holy hell architects
