Better Days
Carry the Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I fall from grace I hit the ground
When did I become so distant?
Fate in my hands but I lost my grip and
Now I'm caught in a landslide
I'm sick of sleeping my life away
Forget the ghosts of yesterday
Because I'm searching for the answers for better days
And I felt time slip through my hands
I hope one day you'll understand
You're the reason that things still have to change
Things still have to change
Try to dig through the dirt and rust
Look around theres no one left to trust
I'll never change don't get it twisted
I realize I just don't listen
Cause now, Im caught in a landslide
But I'll get through
I'm sick of sleeping my life away
Forget the ghosts of yesterday
Because I'm searching for the answers for better days
And I felt time slip through my hands
I hope one day you'll understand
You're the reason that things still have to change
Im finding it harder and harder these days
But i'll get through the day
Im finding it harder and harder these days
But I found a better way
(Come on)
I'm sick of sleeping my life away
Forget the ghosts of yesterday
Because I'm searching for the answers for better days
And I felt time slip through my hands
I hope one day you'll understand
Your the reason that things still have to change
Your the reason that things still have to change
Your the reason that things still have to change
The song "Better Days" by Carry the Day is an introspective track that reflects the struggles of its protagonist as he searches for hope and meaning in his life. The opening lines suggest a sense of repetition and stagnation, as the singer feels caught in a cycle of aimless wandering and self-destructive behavior. However, despite his fall from grace, he remains determined to persevere, to "get through" the challenges that lay ahead.
The refrain emphasizes the importance of moving forward, of leaving behind the "ghosts of yesterday" in order to seek out a brighter future. The singer's desire for change is driven by a sense of purpose and responsibility, as he acknowledges that he is the "reason that things still have to change." This realization is accompanied by a sense of urgency, a fear that time is slipping away and that he must act quickly to make a difference in his life.

Spinning in circles round this town
Feeling lost and trapped in a place I'm familiar with
As I fall from grace I hit the ground
Feeling like I have made a mistake and failed
When did I become so distant?
Feeling like I have become disconnected from myself and my surroundings
Fate in my hands but I lost my grip and
Feeling like I had control over my life but lost it
Now I'm caught in a landslide
Feeling overwhelmed by circumstances beyond my control
But I'll get through
Despite my struggles, I will keep going
I'm sick of sleeping my life away
Feeling unfulfilled and wasting my time
Forget the ghosts of yesterday
Letting go of past regrets and mistakes
Because I'm searching for the answers for better days
Looking for solutions to improve my life and situation
And I felt time slip through my hands
Feeling like time is passing me by and I'm unable to slow it down
I hope one day you'll understand
Hoping others will empathize and support me
You're the reason that things still have to change
Recognizing the need for change and that it starts with me
Try to dig through the dirt and rust
Trying to overcome obstacles and challenges
Look around theres no one left to trust
Feeling betrayed or let down by others
I'll never change don't get it twisted
Staying true to myself and not pretending to be someone I'm not
I realize I just don't listen
Admitting that I struggle to listen to others and take feedback
Im finding it harder and harder these days
Struggling with increasing difficulty in life
But i'll get through the day
Gaining strength to endure each day
But I found a better way
Discovering a new approach or perspective to improve my life
Your the reason that things still have to change
Reiterating that personal change is necessary for progress
