these days
Jane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come tomorrow I'll be gone
And all I that I believed
Will be the dream I leaned upon
And in the calling on the wind
I somehow passed the point of no return
And watched it all blow in again

[Chorus]
These days
Stay on my mind
These ways
Are only mine
And we'll say it's just to pass the time away
It's just a lonely day (repeat)

And as your castle crumples down
You will recall the stony walls and how they held
Your secret crown
And in the silence of the dream
The face of shame which has no name
Is all I call
To comfort me

[Chorus]

Crossfire of dreams and demons
Leaves me to explain
There is only ever reason
There can only be





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

In Jane's song "These Days," the lyrics describe the sense of loss and change as the singer moves on from something they once believed in. There is a sense of regret and sadness in the words, as the singer reflects on how they have passed the point of no return and can never go back to the way things were before. There is a feeling that the past was a dream that has now been shattered, and that the singer feels lost and adrift in the present.


The chorus repeats the words "these days" and "these ways," emphasizing the idea that the singer is struggling to come to terms with their current reality. They acknowledge that they are only passing the time, that it is a lonely day, and that they are holding onto something that is only theirs. The second verse shifts to the perspective of someone else, perhaps someone the singer once knew, who is also experiencing loss and regret. The person's castle crumbles down, and they are left with nothing but memories of the past.


The final lines of the song suggest that the singer is caught between a world of dreams and a world of demons, and that they are trying to find reason in the chaos. The lyrics imply that there must be a reason for the way things are, but that it may be difficult to find that reason in the midst of so much confusion and uncertainty.


Line by Line Meaning

Come tomorrow I'll be gone
I will leave tomorrow


And all I that I believed
All my beliefs will vanish


Will be the dream I leaned upon
All my hopes will be destroyed


And in the calling on the wind
When I try to go back


I somehow passed the point of no return
I have gone too far to turn back now


And watched it all blow in again
And everything comes back to me


These days
The present time


Stay on my mind
I cannot forget about them


These ways
The things that I do


Are only mine
Belong only to me


And we'll say it's just to pass the time away
We will pretend that it is just a means of killing time


It's just a lonely day (repeat)
It's a day filled with loneliness


And as your castle crumples down
As everything falls apart for you


You will recall the stony walls and how they held
You will think of the walls that once held your life together


Your secret crown
The things you kept hidden


And in the silence of the dream
When I am alone with my thoughts


The face of shame which has no name
The feeling of regret without a specific reason


Is all I call
Is what I turn to


To comfort me
In order to calm myself down


Crossfire of dreams and demons
The conflict between what I wish for and what I fear


Leaves me to explain
Leaves me to find a solution


There is only ever reason
There is always a logical explanation


There can only be
There is no alternative

My favorite singer of all times is Christina Grimmie. Unfortunately she passed away and i've never found someone else that is making these fire songs and with this amazing sound. You touch my heart and give chill on my back (in a good way). I really believe that you will get far in the music industry just like Christina Grimmie was about to break through. I already look up to you a lot ❤
