Another Day
Just Jinger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sun arising, sent to be strong
Wait a while, it won't be long
Your zest, said in the clouds
The rising star will conquer all
Mother of pearl is a time
Please wave
Signify our being and let us fill within
Was it on the cards
Was it our families' say
How weak can we go, was it our Judgement Day
Broken windows
Shattered memories, internal life
Lift me from my knees
Shadows, shadows, please send me company
It's quiet, and I'll follow suit
Was it on the cards
Was it our families' say
How weak can we go, was it our Judgement Day
Leave the good alone, their sacred hearts
Their lives, their dreams, is it moral kindness
Or is it life's severe extremes
Was it on the cards
Was it our families' say
How weak can we go, was it our Judgement Day
Leave the good alone, their sacred hearts
Their lives, their dreams, is it moral kindness
Or is it life's severe extremes
Milk is waiting, segregating our souls
Things happen, well
Could our time ever turn our lives sent backwards
It's a crying shame
Just another day, just another day
Just another day, just another day
The lyrics of "Another Day" by Just Jinjer are imbued with a sense of melancholy, urging listeners to reflect on the uncertainties of life, the choices we make, and their consequences. The opening lines of the song, "Sun arising, sent to be strong / Wait a while, it won't be long" suggest a sense of hope, a new beginning, but the subsequent line, "Your zest, said in the clouds" hints at a conflict or a struggle that lies ahead. The rising star that will conquer all is a metaphorical representation of an aspiration or a dream that one may have but there is a realization that life may not always turn out as planned.
The second half of the song describes the aftermath of making a bad decision or having to confront an unpleasant situation. The lyrics "Broken windows / Shattered memories, internal life / Lift me from my knees / Shadows, shadows, please send me company" express feelings of regret, loss, and loneliness. The repeated line, "Was it on the cards / Was it our families' say / How weak can we go, was it our Judgement Day" conveys the idea of fate or destiny and the fact that some things may be beyond our control. The ending lines, "Milk is waiting, segregating our souls / Things happen, well / Could our time ever turn our lives sent backward / It's a crying shame / Just another day", are reflective of the impermanence of life, and the need to come to terms with its unpredictable nature.
