Day By Day
D.U.P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Freezing metalized smile
No more cheating the code
The scene is set - emotions disconnected
Welcome to the cyber trail
Laser cops and sirens wail
Held down with magnetic force
Obey the rules - don't do no wrong
A thought too loud - and crime is done
No appeal for the common man
Just cold hard facts - in computer land
All freedom burns on eternal fire
There's no more independence day
Forever gone never have another
No other independence day
Cyborg arms put the straps around
One more second 'till the switch comes down
Flaching lights - a cage of steel
Turns my head into a dead dogs meal
In this world - robotic rage
You'll understand the acid pain
Do no right - you won't last long
Remote controlled - under the heel of submission
All freedom burns on eternal fire
There's no more independence day
Forever gone never have another
No other independence day
No remorse - for human kind
No recourse - to keep your mind
It's too late - there's no escape
Is this the end of the line
All freedom burns on eternal fire
There's no more independence day
Forever gone never have another
No other independence day
All freedom burns on eternal fire
There's no more independence day
Forever gone never have another
No other independence day
No use for humanity
We'll never ever be free again
No tomorrows
Zero - the number of the year
Zero - the number of the year
The song "Day By Day" by D.U.P is about a dystopian future in which people have lost their freedom to technology and the rule of machines. The lyrics describe people being held down by magnetic force and punished for crimes done by simply thinking too loudly. The scene is set with emotions disconnected and the world being controlled by robotic rage. The theme of the lyrics is about the loss of freedom and independence and the feeling of hopelessness that comes with being controlled by technology.
The lyrics begin with a vivid description of a cyborg with an electrified eye and a metalized smile. This paints a picture of a world where humans and machines have merged, and there is no longer a clear distinction between the two. The use of "freezing" to describe the smile shows a lack of warmth and human emotion that is prevalent in the rest of the lyrics.
The angst and despair in this song are palpable. The following verse talks about obeying rules and not doing any wrong to avoid punishment. The mention of "cold hard facts" in computer land highlights the idea that there is no room for empathy or understanding in a world controlled by machines. The song describes an eternal fire that is burning freedom and independence away, leaving people with no tomorrows, no escape, and no recourse. The repeated statements of "zero - the number of the year" seem to show how life has been drained of anything vibrant or alive.
