At Break of Day

i close my eyes anyway
my mouth is dry and the sheets are cold
and will be still come break of day
you called me up just to surprise me
to hear my voice, see what i had to say
i only whispered then hung up
i whispered, "wait till break of day."
and so dont say youve had a ball
dawn is mine but i will share it
with whatever bird will wear it
on her body bare and pink
now what do you think of break of day?
i locked my door, i should unlock it
what if you should come this way?
and in and have a drink and dancing
dancing till the break of day
and then to bed we danced towards
and tiredly kiss and roll in hay
but waking in the evening i see
you left after break of day
at the break of day im ending all of it
and so dont say youve had a ball
dawn is mine but i will share it
with whatever bird will wear it
on her body bare and pink
now what do you think of break of day?
at the break of day im ending all of it
and so dont say youve had a ball
dawn is mine but i will share it
with whatever bird will wear it
on her body bare and pink
now what do you think of break of day?
i hate myself when im alone
its just with you i feel ok
so tomorrow youll feel sorrow
when i am gone at break of day
The song "Break of Day" by Bonnie 'Prince' Billy is a melancholic tune that expresses the inner turmoil and desperation of a person who has decided to end their life. The lyrics are filled with images of loneliness and emptiness that pervade the mind of the singer. The first verse talks about how the sun is about to come up, yet the person closes their eyes because they are so numb and in so much emotional pain that they cannot face the day. Their mouth is dry and the sheets are cold, which adds a sense of physical discomfort to the emotional turmoil they are feeling. The singer then reveals that they received a call from someone, perhaps a lover, who they whispered to, saying "wait till break of day." This could be seen as the singer preparing the other person for their suicide, asking them to wait until the break of day to hear the news.
The second verse raises the possibility of the singer changing their mind, as they consider unlocking their door in case the person they talked to earlier decides to come over. They imagine dancing until the break of day and kissing and rolling in the hay. However, when they wake up in the evening, they realize that the person has already left. It's unclear whether this is because the person has decided to end their life or for another reason. The final verse is a repetition of the chorus, with the singer expressing their hatred for themselves when they are alone and that they will be gone by break of day.
In summary, "Break of Day" is a haunting and tragic song that touches on the sensitive issue of suicide. The singer is depicted as a person who is deeply troubled and experienced intense emotional pain that they cannot cope with. The song is filled with imagery of loneliness, emptiness, and desperation, and the repetition of the chorus reveals the certainty of their decision to end their life.

i know the suns about to come up
I am aware that it's almost morning
i close my eyes anyway
I choose to ignore the approaching sunrise
my mouth is dry and the sheets are cold
I am uncomfortable and dehydrated
and will be still come break of day
I will still feel this way in the morning
you called me up just to surprise me
You contacted me unexpectedly
to hear my voice, see what i had to say
To listen to me and engage in conversation
i only whispered then hung up
I replied softly then ended the call
i whispered, "wait till break of day."
I asked you to wait until the morning
at the break of day im ending all of it
I am planning to end everything at sunrise
and so dont say youve had a ball
Don't act like you've had a good time
dawn is mine but i will share it
The sunrise belongs to me but I'll let others enjoy it too
with whatever bird will wear it
I will share it with any bird that will appreciate it
on her body bare and pink
On her naked, pink body
now what do you think of break of day?
What are your thoughts on sunrise?
i locked my door, i should unlock it
I secured my door, but I should open it
what if you should come this way?
What if you came over?
and in and have a drink and dancing
And then we had a drink and danced
dancing till the break of day
Dancing until sunrise
and then to bed we danced towards
Then we went to bed together
and tiredly kiss and roll in hay
We kissed and slept together
but waking in the evening i see
But when I woke up in the evening
you left after break of day
You left after the morning
i hate myself when im alone
I despise being alone
its just with you i feel ok
But when I'm with you, I feel better
so tomorrow youll feel sorrow
So tomorrow you will feel sad
when i am gone at break of day
When I leave in the morning

I used to listen to this song when I would get up with my daughter at the "Break of Day." These memories are among the most treasured of my life.
