Daniel Broder Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah

I wake up every day feeling the same way
Wake up every day feeling the same way
Badi bap bap bap
Badi bap bap bap
Wake up every day

I got to go to work, then hurry home
Got to go to work, then hurry home
Badi bap bap bap
Badi bap bap bap
I got to go to work
Then hurry home

Oh every day is just the same
Oh every day is just the same
Badi bap bap bap
Badi bap bap bap
Every day is just the same
Oh it's all the same
All the same

Ha

Oh misery a place in me
Oh misery a place in me
Badi bap bap bap
Badi bap bap bap
Misery is a place in me
Is a place in me
Oh misery
Oh misery is a place in me

Is a place in me
It's a place in me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Daniel Broder's song WORK reflect the mundanity and monotony of everyday life. Broder sings about waking up every morning feeling the same way, with the repetition of "Badi bap bap bap" emphasizing the monotony of his routine. He then goes on to talk about going to work and hurrying home, further emphasizing the unchanging nature of his everyday life. The chorus, "Oh every day is just the same" drives home the point that everything is a never-ending cycle with no real meaning or purpose.

However, in the second verse, Broder introduces the idea of misery. He sings that it's a place within him, separate from the mundanity of his everyday life. The repetition of "Badi bap bap bap" still present, but now with a hint of sadness, reflecting how the monotony of his life has led him to a place of misery. The song as a whole highlights the struggle of finding purpose and meaning in a life that is defined by routine.

Overall, the lyrics to WORK are a commentary on the modern condition of being stuck in a cycle of work and routine, which can lead to a sense of meaninglessness and misery.
