Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I never needed you
And our days go by
And I never needed you
And I worked so hard
And I killed myself
And you broke my bones
And our days go by
And I never needed you
And our days go by
And I never needed you
And I could have been your other
And I could have been your sister
Be your twin brother
I just wanted to be
And our days go by
And I never needed you
And our days go by
And I never needed you
We were just wasting time
We were just wasting time
We were just wasting time
We were just wasting time
We were just wasting time
We were just wasting time
And our days go by
And I never needed you
And our days go by
And I never needed you
And our days go by
And I never needed you
And our days go by
And I never needed you
The song "Days" by English indie rock band The Drums is a melancholic reflection on a failed relationship. The singer in the song talks about how time passes by and how they never needed the other person even though they had put in a lot of effort into the relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer may have been mistreated by the other person who broke their bones and caused them to sell their soul.
The repeated line "And our days go by, and I never needed you" highlights the emptiness of the relationship, and how the singer realized that they were better off without the other person. The line "I could have been your other, and I could have been your sister, be your twin brother, I just wanted to be" suggests that the singer was willing to go to lengths to be with the other person, but somehow it didn't work out.
The song's chorus is repeated several times, emphasizing the passage of time and the singer's eventual realization that they never needed the other person. The phrase "We were just wasting time" is repeated six times, adding to the feeling of ennui and regret.
Overall, "Days" is a poignant and reflective song that deals with the themes of love, loss, and regret.
