Another Day
Jamie Lidell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For me to open up to you
Another day, another way
For me to open up to you
I used to worry I would wake up one day
Only to find we'd nothing more to say
Now I'm letting silence do the talking
Searching for another day, another way
For me to open up to you
Another day, another way
For me to open up to you
I used to scream when a whisper would do
Only wanted noise all over you
Now I'm letting silence do the talking
Now I'm letting silence do the walking
Searching for another day, another way
For me to open up to you
Another day, another way
For me to open up to you
That's why I'm searching for
Another day, another way
For me to open up to you
Another day, another way
For me to open up to you
The lyrics in Jamie Lidell's "Another Day" showcase a person's desire to communicate with their partner on a deeper level. The repeated use of the phrase "Another day, another way" emphasizes that the person is actively seeking ways to connect better. At the beginning of the song, the person sings about their worry of waking up one day and realizing that they have nothing more to say to their partner. However, as the song progresses, the person has found a new approach - letting silence do the talking and walking. This signifies a shift in the person's mindset, from wanting constant noise to appreciating moments of quietness and reflection. The last stanza reiterates the desire to find a new way to communicate, emphasizing the importance of connection.
