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
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 lyrics in "Days" by Drums The tackle themes related to personal growth, self-reliance, relationships, and how these elements intersect. The verses are filled with images of labor ("worked so hard"), self-harm ("killed myself"), and betrayal ("broke my bones"/"sold my soul"), painting a picture of someone who has suffered hardships and made sacrifices, presumably for someone else. However, the chorus reveals that "our days go by," and the singer realizes that they "never needed" their partner or whoever they were working so hard for. The lyrics imply a newfound sense of independence and empowerment, with the singer expressing the desire to have been someone's sibling or twin instead of a romantic partner.
The repetition of the line "our days go by" emphasizes the fleeting nature of time and how easy it is to waste it on relationships that may not be worth the effort. The last stanza of the song is particularly poignant, with the phrase "we were just wasting time" repeated four times. It suggests that the singer has come to terms with the fact that the relationship was a mistake, and they should have spent their time and energy on something more fulfilling. Overall, "Days" is a song about resilience and introspection, encouraging the listener to focus on themselves and their own growth rather than depending on others for happiness.

And our days go by
Time is passing and life is continuing
And I never needed you
You were never truly important or necessary to me
And I worked so hard
I put in a lot of effort
And I killed myself
I exhausted myself
And you broke my bones
You hurt me deeply
And I sold my soul
I sacrificed my values or morals for something
And I could have been your other
I could have been something more or different to you
And I could have been your sister
I could have been a close confidant to you
Be your twin brother
Share a strong bond with you
I just wanted to be
I desired a connection with you
We were just wasting time
Our interactions were meaningless and unproductive
