Drinking In The Daytime
Ginger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'd wish my life away
But it looks like here to stay
So I'm drinking the day away
It's been another crazy fight
No-one's wrong and no-one's right
But I'll be sleeping alone tonight
Drinking in the daytime
It's just something I'm doing
Cause there's a hurricane brewing
And if I make it through this difficult time
I'm thanking whiskey and wine
I'm thanking whiskey and wine
Cause there two friends of mine
And they're helping me through today
Ah
Ah!!
It makes no sense
It makes no sense
It makes no sense to doubt it
There's no defence
There's no defence
There's no defence without it
You're too intense
You're too intense
You're too intense about it
I will not repent
I will not repent
Repent, repent, repent, nope!
Since it all began
Within the hearts of men
There was a natural need to feel oblivion
And the right to decide your medicine
Sipping gin or shooting heroin
There's a sin and a price to the vice you're in
And it isn't you who's deciding
If it's on prescription or legally controlled
Only those who know how to rock
Know when to roll
That's right, baby, that's right
Gotta hold on tight, gotta hold on tight
That's right, baby, that's right
Gotta hold on tight, gotta hold on tight
Gotta hold on tight, gotta hold on tight
Gotta hold on tight, gotta hold on tight
Cause if you're
Drinking in the daytime
That's your right
The song "Drinking in the Daytime" by Ginger is a powerful anthem about facing life's hardships and struggles. The lyrics express a sense of desperation and hopelessness, as the singer faces both internal and external conflicts. The verse "It's been another shitty day, And I'd wish my life away, But it looks like here to stay, So I'm drinking the day away" describe the singer's thoughts of wanting to escape their life, but feeling trapped and unable to do so. The chorus, on the other hand, suggests that drinking is a coping mechanism that helps the singer get through difficult times. The line "If I make it through this difficult time, I'm thanking whiskey and wine, I'm thanking whiskey and wine, 'cause they're two friends of mine, and they're helping me through today" shows how the singer is relying on alcohol to numb the pain.
The song's bridge, "Since it all began, Within the hearts of men, There was a natural need to feel oblivion, And the right to decide your medicine", provides a powerful commentary on the human experience. The lyrics suggest that seeking out a way to escape reality is a natural human desire, and that people should have the right to decide how they cope with their struggles. The following lines, "Sipping gin or shooting heroin, There's a sin and a price to the vice you're in, And it isn't you who's deciding, If it's on prescription or legally controlled" highlight the double standard in society's approach to different forms of escapism. Despite the fact that alcohol is legal and socially acceptable, it can still be just as destructive as illegal drugs.
Line by Line Meaning
It's been another shitty day
Another bad day has passed
And I'd wish my life away
The day was so bad that I wanted to give up on life entirely
But it looks like here to stay
But I have to face the situation
So I'm drinking the day away
So I'm numbing the pain with alcohol
It's been another crazy fight
Another argument has happened
No-one's wrong and no-one's right
Both parties are at fault
But I'll be sleeping alone tonight
But despite that, I'll be going to bed alone
Because someone ain't quite gotten even
Because one person hasn't gotten over it yet
Drinking in the daytime
Drinking in the daytime hours
It's just something I'm doing
It's just a coping mechanism I'm using
Cause there's a hurricane brewing
Because a big problem is on the horizon
And if I make it through this difficult time
And if I survive this hard period
I'm thanking whiskey and wine
I'm grateful for the solace provided by alcohol
Cause there two friends of mine
Because they are the only friends that I have in this awful moment
And they're helping me through today
And they're guiding me through this day
It makes no sense
There is no logic to it
It makes no sense
It doesn't make any sense at all
It makes no sense to doubt it
There is no point in questioning it
There's no defence
There is no defense
There's no defence
There is no way to defend oneself
There's no defence without it
It is an essential requirement
You're too intense
You're too passionate
You're too intense
You're too emotional
You're too intense about it
You're too passionate about it
I will not repent
I will not regret my choices
I will not repent
I refuse to feel sorry
Repent, repent, repent, nope!
I will not apologize for my behavior
Since it all began
Since the beginning of humanity
Within the hearts of men
Within the hearts of all humans
There was a natural need to feel oblivion
Humans have always desired to escape from reality
And the right to decide your medicine
The right to choose your vice
Sipping gin or shooting heroin
Drinking alcohol or using hard drugs
There's a sin and a price to the vice you're in
There are consequences to every action
And it isn't you who's deciding
And it isn't you who's in control
If it's on prescription or legally controlled
Even if it's legal or prescribed by a doctor
Only those who know how to rock
Only those who know how to live life to the fullest
Know when to roll
Know when to let go and enjoy the moment
Gotta hold on tight, gotta hold on tight
You have to hang on and stay strong
Cause if you're drinking in the daytime
Because if you're drinking during the day
That's your right
It's your decision and nobody else's
