Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wake up every day feeling the same way
Wake up every day feeling the same way
Badi bap bap bap
Badi bap bap bap
Wake up every day
Got to go to work, then hurry home
Badi bap bap bap
Badi bap bap bap
I got to go to work
Then hurry home
Oh every day is just the same
Oh every day is just the same
Badi bap bap bap
Badi bap bap bap
Every day is just the same
Oh it's all the same
All the same
Ha
Oh misery a place in me
Oh misery a place in me
Badi bap bap bap
Badi bap bap bap
Misery is a place in me
Is a place in me
Oh misery
Oh misery is a place in me
Is a place in me
It's a place in me
The song "Work" by Broder Daniel conveys a feeling of monotony and stagnation in everyday life. The lyrics depict the struggle of waking up every day with no excitement or passion, and the obligation to go to work and complete mundane tasks. The repetition of "badi bap bap bap" adds to the monotony and emphasizes the lack of variation in daily routine. The line "Oh misery a place in me" suggests that this monotony has led to a feeling of despair and hopelessness. However, the fact that the lyrics do not provide any further explanation or solution implies that this feeling is universal and relatable, and that this cycle of work and routine is expected and unavoidable.
Overall, "Work" is a commentary on the modern work culture that emphasizes productivity and efficiency at the cost of personal fulfillment and enjoyment. It highlights the negative effects of routine and the importance of taking breaks and pursuing passion in order to avoid falling into the trap of monotonous and unfulfilling lifestyles.
