Weekday Song
Frida Snell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You come home
Feel like your dead
The end of the day
You sit down
Take a deep breath
The place is a mess

The food you eat has got no taste
And now the kitchens full of waste
What made you believe it wouldn't be like this

You sleep late
Miss the bus again
A chip in your eye
You realise
There is no change
A new yesterday

The daily stress tears down your soul
And in your chest a big grey hole
What made you believe it wouldn't be like this

And inside you cry as your time runs by
Minutes, hours, days




And a kingdom falls when you forget
To live in every moment of your life

Line by Line Meaning

You come home
The workday is over and it's time to return home


Feel like your dead
The exhaustion of the day has left you feeling lifeless


The end of the day
The workday has come to a close


You sit down
Taking a moment to rest and relax


Take a deep breath
Inhaling to calm yourself down from the day's stress


The place is a mess
Chaos surrounds you at home


The food you eat has got no taste
Dissatisfied with your meal


And now the kitchens full of waste
Attempts to cook dinner ended up producing wasted food


What made you believe it wouldn't be like this
Questioning past expectations of the ease of life


You sleep late
Waking up later than planned


Miss the bus again
Running behind and failing to catch the bus


A chip in your eye
An annoyance in your eye


You realise
Coming to terms with the difficulties of the day


There is no change
Recognition that the same struggles occur day after day


A new yesterday
The same problems repeat themselves, creating a new version of the past


The daily stress tears down your soul
The stress of every day feels like it's breaking apart one's being


And in your chest a big grey hole
Feeling empty inside amidst the routine


What made you believe it wouldn't be like this
Questioning past expectations of the ease of life


And inside you cry as your time runs by
Feeling sadness as time seems to slip away


Minutes, hours, days
The passage of time that feels as if it goes by too fast


And a kingdom falls when you forget
The consequences of letting life slip by without cherishing every moment


To live in every moment of your life
Acknowledging the importance of living in the present and seizing the day
