The Day That Doesn't End
Codeseven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never mind the mistakes I've made
I never said that the killing was easy
or how deep to dig a grave
Cauterize caught her eyes
With a blank expression
From across the room
That I'm already wasted
Broken heart drunk and high
On the fumes
I'm not giving it away
I'm not kidding when I say
it began like it always begins
On another summer day that doesn't end
It began when we said, "let's be friends"
And my busy head started to spin
wait, wait, wait
Don't hesitate to call me out
If I'm not in line
It feels so great
To be engaged in a war with you
When the spoils are mine
Cauterize caught her eyes
With her full attention
Nothing else to loose
I'm a mess and I guess
That you're probably taken
Breaking hearts that get high
On perfume
I'm not giving it away
Say something, I can't wait
I'm not giving it away
I'm not kidding when I say
it begins like it always begins
On another summer day that doesn't end
It began when we said, "let's be friends"
And our busy head's they started to spin
The lyrics to Codeseven's song "The Day That Doesn't End" paint a picture of a chaotic and tumultuous relationship. The singer confesses to making mistakes and being a "mess," intoxicated by alcohol and the "fumes" of heartbreak. The first verse acknowledges the violence that can come with love, likening it to killing and burying someone. However, the singer suggests that the killing and burying are not easy.
The second verse reveals that the singer is caught up in a romance with someone who is already taken. It is a war, with each person vying for the spoils of victory. The chorus repeats twice that the day of their relationship "begins like it always begins, on another summer day that doesn't end." This suggests that their love is cyclical and repetitive, with the same patterns repeating over and over again.
Overall, the lyrics are a raw and honest portrayal of the messiness of love and the pain that comes with it. The singer is aware of their flaws and shortcomings, but cannot seem to break free from the toxic relationship they find themselves in.
