Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't read the newspapers because they all have
Ugly prints
Check me out
Check me out
Bring it on 'cause there's gonna be some shit tonight!
At the starting of the week
At summit talks you'll hear them speak
It's only Monday
Negotiations breaking down
See those leaders start to frown
It's sword and gun day
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
(Come come come come come with it)
(Come come come come come with it)
You could be sitting taking lunch
The news will hit you like a punch
It's only Tuesday
(What time is it?)
You never thought we'd go to war
After all the things we saw
It's April Fool's Day
(What time is it?)
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
Tomorrow is another day
Today is another bomb
Tomorrow is another day
Today is another bomb
Tomorrow is another day
Today is another bomb
Tomorrow is another day
Today is another, bomb
Fire!
Here goes a shot!
Escalation, devastation
Generation, separation
Situation, dissipation
Shot!
Another shot another shot
The tender vessel pressure pop
The heart is cold the gun is hot(shot)
I'm not sure if they done or not
I'm not sure that they wanna stop
The gun is cold the blood is hot(shot)
(Shot shot shot shot shot shot shot)
The hearts are weak the guns are not
You hear a whistling overhead
Are you alive or are you dead?
It's only Thursday
(What time is it?)
You feel the shaking of the ground
A million candles burn around
Is it your birthday?
(What time is it?)
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late (get tomorrow on the phone)
Trying to be smart, get tomorrow on the phone
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late (I need to see tomorrow)
You trying to reach tomorrow
Think tomorrow's come I think it's too late
Another day!
Tomorrow is another day
Tomorrow is another day
Bring it on! Bring it on!
Bring it on cause there's goin' be shit tonight!
The lyrics of DJ Shadow's "Six Days" describe the inevitability of violence and conflict in our world, and the need to be prepared for it at all times. The singer seems to be highly attuned to the threat of danger, even when others around him are oblivious. He predicts that there will be a riot, and that negotiations between world leaders will break down, leading to war. He notes that such events often occur unexpectedly, catching people off guard, and he urges listeners to be vigilant and ready for whatever may come.
The refrain "Tomorrow never comes until it's too late" adds to the sense of urgency in the song, driving home the message that we can't wait until the last minute to take action. The singer seems to be frustrated with people who believe that they have all the time in the world to deal with problems, when in fact there may be very little time left. The repetition of the phrase "Another day!" at the end of the song suggests that the cycle of violence and destruction will continue indefinitely, with each new day bringing new challenges and dangers.
Overall, "Six Days" is a powerful and thought-provoking piece of music, with lyrics that resonate on both an emotional and intellectual level. It reminds us that we live in a world where danger and uncertainty are always present, and that we must be prepared to face these challenges head-on if we hope to survive and thrive.

Every day may bring a new chance for violence and warfare, fueled by tension, dissension, and aggression. The consequences can be severe and irreversible, and there may be uncertainty about when it will end or who is accountable.
You hear a whistling overhead Are you alive or are you dead? It's only Thursday (What time is it?) You feel the shaking of the ground A million candles burn around Is it your birthday? (What time is it?)
The threat of death and destruction may be constantly present, leaving one unsure if they will survive. The day of the week and the significance of the event may be irrelevant in the face of danger and chaos.
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late (get tomorrow on the phone) Trying to be smart, get tomorrow on the phone Tomorrow never comes until it's too late (I need to see tomorrow) You trying to reach tomorrow Think tomorrow's come I think it's too late
Although we may try to plan for tomorrow and avoid conflict, there is no guarantee or certainty. By the time we realize the severity of the situation, it may be too late to take preventative action.
Another day! Tomorrow is another day Tomorrow is another day
Life goes on, and we must face each new day with resilience and determination, even in the face of adversity and uncertainty.
Bring it on! Bring it on! Bring it on cause there's goin' be shit tonight!
I am ready and willing to face whatever obstacles and challenges may arise, regardless of the cost or consequences.
