Day By Day
Cafe.D.M./8/06.Mark de Clive-L Lyrics

The lyrics of Day by Day by Mark de Clive-Lowe express the sentiment of uncertainty and unpredictability in life. The opening lines of the song, "Even if I smile and talk right now, tomorrow everything will change again. As if nothing happened, kicking away the tightly packed bag, I start to run. That kind of me might be wrong," suggest a lack of stability and a constant state of flux in life. The singer acknowledges that even if he were to experience miraculous moments, something new would eventually replace them. The phrase "So long my truth" implies that even the singer's deepest beliefs and convictions may not remain true forever.

The song speaks to the experience of navigating a rapidly changing world in which we often feel lost and confused. The chorus of "It's Day by Day" emphasizes the idea that the only way to cope with a world in constant motion is to take life one day at a time. The second verse expresses a sense of apathy or resignation, as the singer attempts to avoid the temptations of the world and instead chooses to "laugh [with] many wines empty." The final verse speaks to the disappointment of unfulfilled expectations, but the singer ultimately concludes that despite the disappointments and uncertainty, life goes on and "It's Day by Day."
