New Day
Body &/Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I say live for today.
Cause everything you have is just borrowed.
No progress made just sittin' around
TV's selling bullshit by the pound
Things stay the same are you afraid to ask why?
Fight to live! or are you waiting to die?
Just like a new day.
These borrowed days they come and go
We live on, reaping what we sow
Terror from the darkness of our minds
The self-destruction of mankind
And we'd all like to see some change
But the shit, it falls like rain
We sit and watch the world turn grey
What's the point here anyway?
Changes coming our way
Just like a new day
The lyrics to Body & Soul's song 'New Day' urge the listener to embrace the present and not be weighed down by the uncertainty of the future. The first verse emphasizes the transient nature of life and encourages the listener to live in the moment. The second verse suggests that there needs to be a change in perspective and action to prevent the self-destruction of mankind. The lyrics assert that there needs to be a fight for change rather than passively waiting for it to come. This idea is reiterated in the chorus with the statement that change is inevitable, just like a new day.
The lyrics evoke a sense of urgency and a call to action. They address the frustration felt towards the state of the world and the need for a proactive approach to bring about change. The use of the metaphor of a new day suggests that hope and renewal are possible, but they require a collective effort. The song's message is a reminder that we can all make a difference in the world and should strive to do so each day.
