Same Day Twice
Black Milk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every day I see, there's something new to me
Things always change that's a fact of life
You can never wake up to the same day twice
Every way I see, something new feels good to me
I could stay, I could go, I could just take flight
You'll never wake up to the same day twice

Trying to find myself today, sometimes life gets in the way
All I'm looking for is some peace of mind
Was quiet, now it's too loud, suns up, then storms a cloud
Sometimes I wish things would stay the same
In this world that's always changing

Every day I see, there's something new to me
Things always change that's a fact of life
You can never wake up to the same day twice
Every way I see, something new feels good to me
I could stay, I could go, I could just take flight
You'll never wake up to the same day twice

I'm getting sick of this old scene
You and me it's the same routine
'Cause forever is only a state of mind
'Cause you're preoccupied, I think it's justified
That I can't help think about someone new
We were scared to open our eyes

Every day I see, there's something new to me
Things always change that's a fact of life
You can never wake up to the same day twice
Every way I see, something new feels good to me
I could stay, I could go, I could just take flight
You'll never wake up to the same day twice

If yesterday was repeated today
Would the choices you made still have been okay
Would the grass be just as green
Would you say what you said although it was mean

And tell me, would you have tried a little harder
So I could have been with someone smarter?
If you ran in that race, would you still come in last?
Would you let time have past you by so fast?

Every day I see, there's something new to me
Things always change that's a fact of life
You can never wake up to the same day twice
Every way I see, something new feels good to me
I could stay, I could go, I could just take flight
You'll never wake up to the same day twice





Everything I see's something new to me
You can never wake up to the same day twice

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Black Milk's "Same Day Twice" explore the idea that every day is a new opportunity to experience something different, and that change is an inevitable part of life. The song contrasts the desire for familiarity and routine with the excitement of new experiences and the fear of missing out. The first two verses establish the theme of change, with the repeated line "you can never wake up to the same day twice" emphasizing the transient nature of life. The third verse introduces the idea that sometimes people get stuck in familiar patterns, even if they're not happy with those patterns, and that fear can prevent them from trying new things. The final verse poses a series of questions about how life might be different if the past were repeated, suggesting that change is not always bad, and that every new experience is an opportunity to learn and grow.


The song is open to interpretation, as its themes of change, fear, and the desire for constancy can be applied to a wide range of situations. However, some possible interpretations include a commentary on the difficulty of making major life changes or the perils of becoming too comfortable in a routine, as well as an exploration of the fear of missing out and the role it plays in decision-making.


Overall, "Same Day Twice" is a thoughtful meditation on the shifting nature of life and the human desire for both stability and new experiences.
