Some Days Are Better
Charlie Major Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

well the sun came up in the east today
same as it ever does
i openned my eyes and looked around my room
same as it ever was
but there've been some changes here
since you said the words i never thought i'd hear
nothing's been quite the same
every day's just a different shade of grey

and somedays are better than others
and somenights are twice as long
somedays i'm more than weak
and somenights i'm less than strong
somedays i just can't take it
and some nights i barely make it, but somedays,
somedays are better.

well i got out of bed and put the coffee on
same as i ever do
i found my clothes and got ready for work
same as i always do
but it's the motions i'm going through
just the same routine of living without you
doesn't matter what i do
everyday's just a different shade of blue

and somedays are better than others
and somenights are twice as long
somedays i'm more than weak
and somenights i'm less than strong
somedays i just can't take it
and some nights i barely make it, but somedays,
somedays are better.

i know the world keeps turnin, g going โ€˜round and โ€˜round
but i can't stop this circling, going up and down

somedays are better than others
and somenights are twice as long
somedays i'm more than weak
and somenights i'm less than strong
somedays i just can't take it
and somenights i barely make it
but somedays,
somedays are better.
somedays
somedays are better
somedays




somedays are better
somedays

Overall Meaning

Charlie Major's song "Some Days Are Better" portrays the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of sadness and monotony after a loved one leaves. The lyrics reflect the mundanity of everyday life that seems to have lost its meaning since that person left. The first verse starts with the singer waking up and realizing that, although it seems like any other day, things have changed since their loved one left. The second verse follows the same pattern as the first; the singer is getting ready for work, but something doesn't quite feel right, and nothing seems to have the same significance or purpose it once did.


However, the chorus makes it clear that there are still some good days, even if they are few and far between. It describes how, on some days, the singer feels like they can't take it anymore, and on other nights, they barely make it through. Still, there are days where things are better. The bridge emphasizes the cycle of emotions and how the singer feels like they can't escape it, despite everything else in the world moving on.


Overall, the lyrics to "Some Days Are Better" are a relatable portrayal of the feeling of being lost and stuck in a cycle of sadness and monotony when a loved one leaves. It conveys the powerlessness that one feels when they can't help but feel sad and stuck, no matter how hard they try to move on.
