Just Another Day
Ese Lil.one Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We've been talking for hours
'bout the things that we saw
Cursing ourselves out
For lack of composure
It doesn't matter
What we felt or we thought
We scroll on and plough through
There's something for everyone
Thought out and programmed
It gets easier and easier
The more you engage
The greater the disconnect
What is an hour
In a meaningless void?
Thoughts of forever are censored
It's just another way
To keep you in your place
It's just another way
To tie you up in chains
It doesn't matter
If you're wise to it all
Greater disclosure
More painful exposure is
Can't cry for help
If you're not using it
Abusing it
Will only stave off the cravings
It's just another way
To keep you in your place




It's just another way
To tie you up in chains

Overall Meaning

The song "Just Another Day" by Ese Lil.one is a commentary on the detachment and disillusionment that can come with living in a society that is consumed by technology and social media. The lyrics speak to a sense of hopelessness and resignation that many people feel when they realize that their lives are being controlled and manipulated by external forces beyond their control. The opening lines, "We've been talking for hours, 'bout the things that we saw, cursing ourselves out for lack of composure," suggest a conversation between two people who are struggling to process their surroundings and the impact they have on their emotional states. The song goes on to discuss the way in which technology has made it easier for people to disconnect from one another and to feel powerless against larger societal forces. The lines, "What is an hour in a meaningless void? Thoughts of forever are censored," reveal a sense of existential despair and a fear of being trapped within a system that has no meaning or purpose.


The repeated refrain, "It's just another way to keep you in your place, to tie you up in chains," underscores the theme of powerlessness and entrapment. The song suggests that despite our best efforts to resist and rebel against societal norms, we are ultimately unable to break free from the constraints that are placed upon us. The closing lines, "Can't cry for help if you're not using it, abusing it will only stave off the cravings," suggest that even when we recognize the harm that technology and social media can cause, we are often unable to stop ourselves from indulging in their addictive qualities. The song ends on a note of bleak resignation, with the suggestion that we are doomed to be controlled and manipulated by external forces beyond our control.
