כמו כל יום
Idan Rafael Haviv Lyrics

In Idan Rafael Haviv's song כמו כל יום, he expresses the idea of being present in the moment and focusing on the reality of the present rather than distant dreams or misguided fantasies. The verse, "דרך מחשבות אל תוך חלום, לא אל תיסע רחוק לא תמצא אמת בשום מקום אחר" (Through thoughts to a dream, don't travel far, you won't find truth anywhere else), speaks to the idea that dreams and fantasies can distract us from what is real and present in our lives. The chorus, "אני איתך היום כמו כל יום, בודד בעולמך אבוא אמצא מקום" (I am with you today like every day, I will come into your world alone and find a place), emphasizes the importance of being fully present with those we love, even if it means venturing into their loneliness or solitude.

The second verse speaks about the pain and doubts of a wounded love, "אהבה פצועה מלאת ספקות, מטען כבד דחוס עד דק במגירות הלב" (Wounded love full of doubts, heavy load squeezed tight in the heart's drawers), and the repetition of the line "חוזר עורב רעב אל אותו מקום, דופק על דלתך שוב משקל היום" (A hungry raven returns to the same place, knocking on your door again, the weight of the day) suggests the cyclical nature of pain and the constant battle to overcome it. The final verse, "דמיון עשיר בלתי נמנע, ימים ריקים בלי אמת ברורה בלי כוונה בלב, מושך גבעול ירוק אל תוך הפה, מושך עוד פלח זמן שירפא" (Rich imagination is inevitable, empty days without clear truth or intent in the heart, pulling a green sprout into the mouth, pulling another piece of time that will heal), suggests that although life can be difficult, our imaginations can help us find hope and healing.

Overall, כמו כל יום is a poignant and introspective song that reminds us to be present in the moment and to cherish the relationships we have.
