Finished in a Day
Halifax Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

cornered with my back against the wall
the lights are dimming by the minute
can someone call my other self
let them know ill be just fine
cornered with my back against the wall
the lights are dimming by the minute
can someone call my other self
let them know ill be just fine

start back at start so i know where to go
weve made it this far no turning back now
six days and all i can think about
six days and all i can think about is you
start back at start so i know where to go
weve made it this far no turning back now
six days and all i can think about
six days and all i can think about is you

can it be were on top of the world
from now on i can see
from a distance i can see the end
can it be were on top of the world
the stranger feeling crawling up my arm
into my heart

start back at start so i know where to go
weve made it this far no turning back now
six days and all i can think about
six days and all i can think about is you
start back at start so i know where to go
weve made it this far no turning back now
six days and all i can think about
six days and all i can think about is you

yea its over now
from my head down to my legs
from my head down to my
and now its over now
from my head down to my legs
and now its over now
from my head down to my legs

cornered with my back against the wall
the lights are dimming by the minute
can someone call my other self
let them know ill be just fine
cornered with my back against the wall
the lights are dimming by the minute
can someone call my other self
let them know ill be just fine
cornered with my back against the wall
the lights are dimming by the minute




can someone call my other self
let them know ill be just fine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Halifax's song "Finished in a Day" paint a picture of feeling cornered and overwhelmed, but also hopeful and focused on a specific person. The repetition of the opening lines "cornered with my back against the wall" and "the lights are dimming by the minute" create a sense of urgency and the need for a guiding presence, which could be interpreted as a call for help. The repetition of the line "start back at start so I know where to go" emphasizes the need for direction, but also implies a determined spirit to keep moving forward despite any obstacles.


The repeated mention of "six days" indicates a specific time frame, perhaps a deadline or a significant interval for reflection. The line "can it be we're on top of the world" could suggest a feeling of exhilaration and pride in one's accomplishments, but the mention of a "stranger feeling crawling up my arm" adds a sense of unease or uncertainty to this emotion. The final lines "and now it's over now" echo the opening lines, but with a sense of closure or resolution, as if the conflict has been resolved and the singer can move forward with newfound strength and resolve.
