Django Walker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
about the crazy things in life
and how we go about them
each and every day
and when the day seem way too long
find a way to keep movin on
forget about the bad things
another day and another year
another weekend's almost here
and you're havin such a good time
that the bad ones float away
and all the things you always say
all the bills you have to pay
...hey, it's just another day
wouldn't it be fun
to watch the sun come up
to fall asleep while the workin world
is fightin it's way through traffic
like their lives are on the line
well maybe i'm just a laid back guy
but why do we always have to try
to meet too many deadlines
and rush to be on time
well another day and another year
another weekend's almost here
and you're havin such a good time
that the bad ones float away
all the things you always say
all the bills you have to pay
..who cares?
it's just another day
once again the week begins
wonderin when the work will end
countin on the minute hand
to get you through the day
sometimes life seem way too long
you find a way to keep movin on
through music and your good friends
there ain't no better way
well another day and another year
another weekends almost here
and you're havin such a good time
that the bad one float away
all the things you always say
all the bills you have to pay
..said who cares?
it's just another day
The lyrics of Django Walker’s “Another Day” speaks to the ups and downs of everyday life. The song discusses the idea that life can be incredibly difficult and stressful at times, but there is always another day to try again. The singer reflects upon the troubles that come with each day, from meeting deadlines to paying bills, but ultimately concludes that it’s just another day, and what matters most is finding joy and relief from the daily struggles.
The first verse broaches the singer’s thoughts on life’s craziness. The singer notes how one can find ways to deal with the stressors that come with life, and that sometimes we need to forget about the bad things we encounter throughout the day. The chorus states that while sometimes the weekend can take forever to arrive, it does. And when it does come, we should enjoy ourselves to make the bad days disappear. The second verse compares the singer’s laid-back nature to the fast-paced, deadline-driven world we live in. The singer suggests that perhaps we put too much pressure on ourselves, and that we should find ways to just “keep moving on”. The final verse touches on the week ahead and the idea that sometimes life gets too long to bear. Here, the singer suggests that music and good friends can help you get through the hardships of life.
Overall, the song is about finding the positive amidst the negative, and pushing through the trials and tribulations of life with ease. It is about looking forward to the end of the week, to weekends and the potential they hold, while embracing the flaws in everyday life with levity.

about the crazy things in life

daily, without fail
and when the day seem way too long
When the day appears to be longer than usual
find a way to keep movin on
Find a reason to keep pushing forward
forget about the bad things
Forget about the unpleasant things
that need to melt away
That need to go away
another day and another year
Another day and another year pass

Another weekend is approaching
and you're havin such a good time
You're enjoying yourself

All the financial obligations that you have
...hey, it's just another day
It's nothing but another ordinary day.
wouldn't it be fun
Wouldn't it be enjoyable
to watch the sun come up
To observe the sunrise
to fall asleep while the workin world
To drift off to sleep while others are still working
is fightin it's way through traffic
Enduring difficult daily commutes
like their lives are on the line
As though their lives depend on it
well maybe i'm just a laid back guy
I could just be a relaxed person
but why do we always have to try
Why do we always have to make an effort
to meet too many deadlines
Meet several time constraints
and rush to be on time
And hurry to arrive on schedule
once again the week begins
The week starts again
wonderin when the work will end
Wondering when the workday will finish
countin on the minute hand
Counting on the clock's minute hand
to get you through the day
To make it easier to get through the day
sometimes life seem way too long
Sometimes, life appears to be excessively long
you find a way to keep movin on
You discover a reason to keep pushing forward
through music and your good friends
By surrounding yourself with music and good buddies
there ain't no better way
There is no better method
said who cares?
Who says it matters?
it's just another day
It's merely another ordinary day.
