DAY BY DAY
Dante Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Y ve las hojas muertas
Que le gritan, ven
Y ve las hojas muertas
Que le gritan, ven
Take two, ay
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ay, ay, ay
This is the best day of my life, yeah
I chose not to end it tonight, yeah
I chose just to stay in the light, yeah
But lately I’ve been changing my mind
Spending all these seconds just ignoring the signs
I’ll be with you in a minute I’m just taking my time
Following these traces trying to stay in the lines
Sick of living, no forgiveness, I’m slipping, ay yo
I wake up in the morning super warped tryin’ to draw breath
End of the night I want them all dead
But on the real they’ll be all left
But me, fading away, yeah
There’s no changing the same
Whatever I do, brains on the wall
Happiness can’t take away pain
Tomorrow there’ll be nothing at all, yeah
Y ve las hojas muertas
Que le gritan, ven
(I'm dying of thirst)
Y ve las hojas muertas
Que le gritan, ven
Yeah, yeah
I don’t need to be loved
But that don’t matter to you
You came clearly through the static and
You showed me the patterns
I couldn’t ignore
They were too busy to fall
It don’t matter, ‘cause we shattered in two
Pieces of souls, chopped up, needing a home
It’s fucked up, I love being alone
Everything is dead, everything is dead
Everything you heard, everything you said
I would do anything to love deeper
Show me the ways, show me the ways
You don’t know how, well me neither
Maybe we just set in our ways
Whatever we do, it ends in the same
Born in the happiness, dying in pain
I tried everything and nothing had changed
Tomorrow I’ll be staying the same, ay
Y ve las hojas muertas
Que le gritan, ven




Y ve las hojas muertas
Que le gritan, ven

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dante's song Day by Day seem to touch on themes of change and the struggle to find meaning and happiness in life. The opening lines, "Y ve las hojas muertas / Que le gritan, ven" (And sees the dead leaves / Yelling at him, come) suggest a sense of urgency and perhaps even despair - the dead leaves are a symbol of decay and the passage of time, and they seem to be calling out to the singer to take action, to come to terms with the realities of life. The refrain repeats this call to action, almost like a plea for help or guidance: "Y ve las hojas muertas / Que le gritan, ven" (And sees the dead leaves / Yelling at him, come).


As the song progresses, we get a sense of the singer's struggles and internal conflicts. They describe feeling like they are "slipping" and waking up "super warped," indicating some kind of mental or emotional instability. The lines "Sick of living, no forgiveness, I'm slipping" suggest a deep sense of hopelessness and despair, a feeling that everything is slipping away and there's no way to regain control. Yet there's also a sense of determination and a desire to keep going: "I chose not to end it tonight / I chose just to stay in the light." The singer seems to be wrestling with their own demons, trying to find a way to keep going even when everything seems to be falling apart.


Overall, the lyrics to Day by Day seem to be grappling with big questions about life and meaning - how to find purpose and happiness in a world that often feels chaotic and cruel. The dead leaves are a reminder of the passage of time, of the inevitability of death, but they're also a call to action - a challenge to live fully in the present moment, to find meaning and purpose even in the midst of darkness.
