DAY BY DAY
Camera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were wet behind the ears, stiff in the pants
Taking all the candy that we desired
Never had a hard time finding a partner to dance
Now we are older, hearts gone colder, hair on the shoulders, life throws boulders
Sleeping on land mines, waiting for the right time
To have a little talk with myself
We made a run of 100 then
It began to blow up
Dubbed over and over again, oh yeah!
To say we grew up is an overstatement
There's a magic that delays it, skilled sleight of hand
Public drunkenness, I guess you got the jist
Never concerned with who we pissed off or where we pissed
Days get longer, life gets awkward, friends go off with significant others
Times get strange and people get stranger
Need to have a little time for myself
Our cassette was the shit so
We made a run of 100 then
It began to blow up
Dubbed over and over again, oh yeah!
I want it, I need it bad
I want to go back
I want it, I need it bad
Give it to me over and over again
Our cassette was the shit so
We made a run of 100 then
It began to blow up
Dubbed over and over again, oh yeah!
I want it, I need it bad
I want to go back
I want it, I need it bad
I want to go back
I want it, I need it bad
I want to go back
I just want to go back
The lyrics to Camera's song Day By Day are full of rich imagery and metaphorical language. The singer describes a "golden stream" that turns to ice on their knees in fear, and then later references "golden streams of ice" that hold up a city of gold in broad daylight. The golden stream is a symbol of life and energy, while the ice represents fear and coldness. The reference to a city of gold implies a beautiful, prosperous place, but one that is also perhaps superficial and lacking in warmth.
The second half of the song introduces the idea of a "golden bone" and a "golden bun" held high in the singer's dreams. It's unclear what exactly these objects represent, but they seem to symbolize some kind of ideal relationship or connection with another person. The final lines of the song mention a "golden wand" and "golden rod," which could be interpreted as sexual imagery or simply as more metaphorical symbols of power and attraction. Throughout the song, there is a sense of tension between warmth and coldness, fear and desire, and the beauty and shallowness of material wealth.
Overall, the lyrics to Day By Day are open to interpretation and invite the listener to engage with their own emotions and associations. The imagery is vivid and evocative, but also somewhat cryptic, leaving plenty of room for personal reflection and imagination.
Line by Line Meaning
Golden stream
A warm liquid that flows from the body
In the cold
When it's not warm and comfortable
It turns to ice
Becomes solid and frozen
Runs down my knees in fright
The feeling of fear causes the liquid to flow down the legs
Turns from warm to cold
Changes from being comfortable to uncomfortable
In frightful time
During a time of great danger or terror
In the frozen dead of night
During the coldest, darkest time of night
The golden stone builds the golden road to heaven
A metaphor for the journey to a better place in life
(held up high by golden streams of ice)
Supported by the things that once caused fear and discomfort
My golden bone meets the golden bun
Two things of value come together
Buns held high in our dreams of men
A desire for something better in life
Golden streams of ice
Frozen things that once caused fear and discomfort
Hold up a city of gold
Propping up something of great value
That lives in broad daylight
Something that is seen and recognized by others
Two golden streams
Two things of value
Run down my cheeks
A display of strong emotion
When buns are deprived
When something desired is taken away
Of my dreams of men
The hope for something better in life
I hold the golden bone on the golden road to heaven
Making progress towards a better life
(held up high by golden streams of ice)
Supported by the things that once caused fear and discomfort
The golden bone belongs in golden bun
Two things that complement each other
Bone and bun held high in my dreams of us
The hope for a better future together
My golden wand waves down your golden rod
Two things of value coming together in a magical way
Our gold held high in sunny breezy sky
The hope for a bright future
Then a stream of gold released from golden stone
A valuable discovery or idea
erupts late at night and melts the winter ice
Bringing warmth and hope during the darkest times
The golden streams
The valuable things that support and give hope
The golden streams
The metaphorical things that sustain and make life better
The golden streams
The hope for something better in life
