Crack of Dawn
Babylon Bombs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
how long can you stand being kicked from behind
everything I do, all I say seems to be declined
My life seems to decay
tomorrow's a brand new day
At the crack of dawn
crack of dawn, at the crack of dawn
it just goes on and on, crack of dawn
You try to hold back
but you're in need of that bone
harder to breath and you sink like a stone
facing the fact seems like I'm at my best alone
My life seems to decay
tomorrow's a brand new day
At the crack of dawn
I hope all my troubles are gone
crack of dawn, at the crack of dawn
it just goes on and on, crack of dawn
At the crack of dawn
I hope all my troubles are gone
crack of dawn, at the crack of dawn
it just goes on and on, crack of dawn

Despite this, the singer is still hopeful for a better tomorrow, expressed through the repeated phrase “tomorrow’s a brand new day.”
The chorus of the song, “At the crack of dawn, I hope all my troubles are gone,” highlights the desperation and exhaustion felt by the singer.
