Day Of Maturity
Hey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The groans of the whole world
Are always running through my veins
Every human fear
Puts another burden on my blood
I'm standing on the skin
Of a world immersed in darkness
So naive I can barely stand
Like a poor wide-eyed child
Give me a little tlc
Oversensitivity
Comes when the soul takes over the mind
Kick me in the head




And maybe i'll get over it
Give me a little tlc

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Day of Maturity" by Hey present a theme of empathy and oversensitivity towards the world at large. The singer talks about how the groans of the whole world are running through his veins, how every human fear puts a burden on his blood, and how he is standing on the skin of a world immersed in darkness. The singer portrays himself as naive and childlike, who requires a little tlc to cope with the weight of the world’s sorrows. He seems to feel everything so deeply that his soul takes over his mind, leading to oversensitivity.


Furthermore, the line "Kick me in the head and maybe I'll get over it" is a metaphorical representation of the singer’s longing to face the difficulties of life head-on in hopes of getting through them. The song overall is a cry for help – for some empathy and care that could make the world appear a little less burdensome.


The lyrics present the idea that the world can be overwhelming, but music serves as a medium to channel the chaos and make sense out of it. The song captures the audience's emotions or states of mind to confront with the complexities of their lives. It encourages people to seek comfort in each other and to face the world as it is – in all its darkness and light, happiness and despair.


Line by Line Meaning

The groans of the whole world
All the pain and suffering in the world


Are always running through my veins
Affect me deeply and constantly


Every human fear
All the worries and anxieties of humanity


Puts another burden on my blood
Adds to the weight of responsibility I feel


I'm standing on the skin
Living on the surface of the earth


Of a world immersed in darkness
In a world filled with ignorance and suffering


So naive I can barely stand
Inexperienced and overwhelmed by the enormity of the world's problems


Like a poor wide-eyed child
Full of innocent wonder and vulnerability


Give me a little tlc
Show me some kindness and care


Oversensitivity
Being too easily affected by external factors


Comes when the soul takes over the mind
When emotions overpower rational thinking


Kick me in the head
Mentally shake me out of my naive and overly sensitive state


And maybe i'll get over it
And I'll be able to move forward and face the world's problems with greater resilience


Give me a little tlc
Again, show me some kindness and care
