Another Day
DOGFIGHT! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For pushing so far away?
I try to tell myself,
It's all your fault
You caused this pain.
{Chorus}
And I need to find a way,
But I sleep another day,
Just wishing that you knew.
Now that you hate yourself
For things I do, for things I say.
You don't know yourself,
To ???? everyday.
{Chorus}
Now I see you watching me,
Wondering if it's all for you.
Now I have you here,
Wondering if it's true.
{Chorus x2}
That you knew.
That you knew
In this song, Dogfight is expressing the struggle of their internal dialogue. The lyrics show a conflict between two parts of themselves. On one hand, they blame the other person for pushing them away, while on the other hand, they acknowledge that it's their own fault for feeling this way. The chorus suggests a desire to reach out to the other person and show them that everything they do is for them, but instead they withdraw and sleep another day, wishing that the other person knew how they feel. The bridge continues this inner dialogue, as the singer recognizes that their actions have caused the other person to hate themselves. They wonder if the other person ever really knew who they were and if they realize that everything the singer does is for them.
This song is about the struggle to communicate your feelings to the person you care about, while simultaneously recognizing your own role in the situation. It's a universal theme that many people can relate to, and the lyrics suggest that the singer is aware of this struggle but can't figure out how to break the cycle.
