I am aware that I am a asshole
I really don't care about all of that, though I got nothing to prove
But honestly I am just like you
I got a bad case of add
I've been this way since 17
I've got a fucked up brain
And a really bad attitude I blame it on my drug abuse
So You don't want to be too close to me Cause you might seen my broken heart

I am aware that I am a asshole
I really don't care about all of that, though I'm living my life the way that
I want to And you can't deny that honestly
I'm just like you Just like you Just like you I've been so lonely for the longest time
(a-ha)
They tell me that I'm such a loveable guy (yeah, alright)
Come and play, because I'm off my meds Or it could be just something I said?
You don't wanna be too close to me
Cause you might seen my broken heart
I am aware that I am a asshole I really don't care about all of that, though
I'm living my life the way that I want to And you can't deny that honestly
I'm just like you Just like you
And I'm always stuck with some bad luck I'm just a boy who's angry at hiss mom And I hope, in fact, she brakes her back The moment I step on this crack
Don't tell me I'm not worth it Cause you are far from perfect
I am aware that you are all assholes
Who the hell cares about all of all that, though
I am aware that I am a asshole

I really don't care about all of that, though I'm living my life the way that
I want to And you can't deny that honestly I'm just like you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Falling Idols' song "Just Another Day" portray a sense of self-awareness and a lack of concern for how others may view the singer. The repeated statement of being aware that they are an asshole and not caring about it reflects a refusal to conform to societal norms and a desire to live life on their own terms. The singer also acknowledges their flaws, including a bad case of ADD and drug abuse, which they blame for their bad attitude and a broken heart. They express a sense of loneliness and a desire for love and acceptance, but also recognize their potential to lash out and hurt others.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the similarities between the singer and the listener, underscoring the idea that they are not alone in their struggles and imperfections. The final verse includes a playful reference to the childhood superstition about stepping on cracks, but also reveals a deep-seated anger towards the singer's mother. The song as a whole presents a complex and layered portrayal of a flawed but self-aware individual navigating their way through life.
