Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One of these days, your heart will stop and play it's final beat
One of these days, the clocks will stop and time won't mean a thing
One of these days, their bombs will drop and silence everything
But it's alright, yeah it's alright, said it's alright
Easy for you to say
Your pride has never been stolen
Not yet, not yet, one of these days
I bet your heart 'll be broken
I bet your pride 'll be stolen
I'll bet, I'll bet, I'll bet, I'll bet
One of these days, one of these days
One of these days, your eyes will close and pain will disappear
One of these days, you will forget to hope and learn to fear
But it's alright, yeah it's alright, said it's alright
Easy for you to say
Your heart has never been broken
Your pride has never been stolen
Not yet, not yet, one of these days
I bet your heart 'll be broken
I bet your pride 'll be stolen
I'll bet, I'll bet, I'll bet, I'll bet
One of these days, one of these days
But it's alright, yeah it's alright, said it's alright
Yeah it's alright
Don't say it's alright, don't say it's alright
Don't say it's alright
One of these days your heart will stop and play it's final beat
But it's alright, easy for you to say
Your heart has never been broken
Your pride has never been stolen
Not yet, not yet, one of these days
I bet your heart will be broken
I bet your pride will be stolen
I'll bet, I'll bet, I'll bet, I'll bet

The song "These Days" by Foo Fighters/Musicfire.in conveys a bleak message about the inevitability of death, loss, and suffering. The lyrics start by describing how everything in life can suddenly come crashing down, whether it's the ground dropping out from beneath your feet, your heart stopping, the clocks stopping, or bombs dropping. Despite all of these potential tragedies, the refrain of the song insists that "it's alright," which feels rather ironic given the grimness of the verses. The chorus then shifts to an accusatory tone, suggesting that the person saying "it's alright" has not experienced heartbreak or loss yet, but will one day.
The repetition of the refrain "it's alright" throughout the song can be interpreted in different ways. It could be seen as a mantra to repeat in moments of crisis in order to find solace and perspective, or it could be seen as a delusional denial of the harsh realities of life. The line "easy for you to say" suggests that the person saying "it's alright" is doing so from a position of privilege or naivety, which underscores the bitterness in the chorus.
Ultimately, "These Days" is a song about facing the inevitable and finding some comfort in the face of it. It acknowledges that loss and heartbreak are a part of life, but also that we can't fully understand or prepare for them until they happen.

Lyrics:
[Intro: Macklemore]
I know you moved onto someone new
Hope life is beautiful
You were the light for me to find my truth
I just wanna say, thank you
[Verse 1: Dan Caplen]
Leaving to find my soul
Told her I had to go
And I know it ain't pretty
When our hearts get broke
Too young to feel this old
Watching us both turn cold
Oh, I know it ain't pretty
When two hearts get broke
Yeah, I know it ain't pretty
When two hearts get broke
[Chorus: Jess Glynne]
I hope someday we'll sit down together
And laugh with each other about these days, these days
All our troubles, we'll lay to rest and
We'll wish we could come back to these days, these days
These days, these days
These days, these days
[Verse 2: Dan Caplen & Jess Glynne]
Three years of ups and downs
Nothing to show for it now
And I know it ain't pretty when the fire burns out
Calling me when I'm drunk remind me of what I've done
And I know it ain't pretty when you're trying to move on, yeah
[Chorus: Jess Glynne & Dan Caplen]
I hope someday we'll sit down together
And laugh with each other about these days, these days
All our troubles, we'll lay to rest and
We'll wish we could come back to these days, these days
[Post-Chorus: Jess Glynne & Dan Caplen]
Oh I know, I know
Oh I know, I know
Oh I know, I know
These days, these days
Oh I know, I know
Oh I know, I know
Oh I know, I know
To these days, these days
[Verse 3: Macklemore]
Cigarettes in the ashtray
Reminiscing on those past days
I thought you’d end up with my last name
But that changed
And I travelled around the world
Think where you living at now?
I heard you moved to Austin
Got an apartment and settled down
And every once in a while
I start texting
Write a paragraph
But then I delete the message
Think 'bout you like a past time
I could cry you a river
Get you baptised or
I wasn't ready to act right
Used to always think I'd get you back, right
They say that things fall apart
We were gonna move to Brooklyn
You were gonna study Art
Love is just a tool
To remind who we are
And that we are not alone
And we're walking in the dark
[Chorus: Jess Glynne & Dan Caplen]
I hope someday we'll sit down together
And laugh with each other about these days, these days
All our troubles, we'll lay to rest and
We'll wish we could come back to these days, these days
We'll wish we could come back to these days, these days
