Every Day
KMFDM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The biggest mistake was to let you near me
I'm speaking to you but you won't ever hear me
Close to the touch but aeons away
On a distant planet on another day

I thought we were even I hoped it was cool
Your guilty pleasures made you a fool
I extended it all but you turned it to dreck
You keep trashing my name and stabbing my back

I shall not be terrorized
You will pay for all those lies

And every day's a good day to die
Fucka, fucka, die, muthafucka, bye-bye

A spewing volcano of distortion and hate
You plead and beg me to spare your fate
You evoke our friendship and the days of old
But I know a dish that's best served cold

The gleaming blade a muffled cry
You won't live to testify

I gave you it all
I let you perform
You sowed the wind now you'll reap the storm
In the coldest blood steady-handed
I take no prisoners the eagle has landed





Idiot!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Every Day's A Good Day" by KMFDM express a sense of betrayal and anger towards someone who was once close to the singer.

The singer thought they were even and hoped everything was cool, but this person's guilty pleasures made them a fool. The singer extended their trust and help to this person, but they turned it into something worthless. The person keeps trashing the singer's name and backstabbing them. The singer declares that they will not be terrorized and that this person will pay for all the lies they have told. Finally, the singer declares that every day's a good day to die and wishes them farewell in a profane way.


Line by Line Meaning

The biggest mistake was to let you near me
I regret allowing you to come close to me


I'm speaking to you but you won't ever hear me
You refuse to understand me


Close to the touch but aeons away
Though we're close, we're emotionally distant


On a distant planet on another day
Our relationship is far away, unreachable and old


I thought we were even I hoped it was cool
I believed everything was fine between us


Your guilty pleasures made you a fool
Your secret indulgences exposed you for who you are


I extended it all but you turned it to dreck
I gave you everything but you ruined it all


You keep trashing my name and stabbing my back
You continuously speak ill of me behind my back


I shall not be terrorized
I won't let you scare me anymore


You will pay for all those lies
You'll face the consequences of all the lies you've told about me


And every day's a good day to die
I'd rather face death than continue dealing with you


Fucka, fucka, die, muthafucka, bye-bye
I don't care if you die, I'm done with you


A spewing volcano of distortion and hate
You're emotionally volatile, filled with anger and lies


You plead and beg me to spare your fate
You beg for mercy despite your actions


You evoke our friendship and the days of old
You try to remind me of our past friendship


But I know a dish that's best served cold
I'll get revenge when the time is right


The gleaming blade a muffled cry
You'll die a silent death by my hand


You won't live to testify
You'll die before you can speak against me


I gave you it all
I gave you everything I had


I let you perform
I trusted you with important tasks


You sowed the wind now you'll reap the storm
You'll face severe consequences because of the chaos you've caused


In the coldest blood steady-handed
I'll be calm and calculated while taking revenge


I take no prisoners the eagle has landed
I don't care who gets in my way, I'll do what I need to do


Idiot!
Insult directed at the person being addressed

What a great song. They need this song in a good Mob movie.

@user-iq3yx1xy3s

Wow pretty good really nice music

@khamentor2537

its music!

@Vertigopills

Really? Columbine? This album came out what, 6 years after the incident? People who are still connecting KMFDM and Columbine are fallacious fools.

@toby7059

Andy Brinkhaus Some people are interested in columbine only for Studying (Like for me, I'm studying in Behavioral Psychology and Forensics) So knowing some of these people really helps with research, others come here mostly because they want new music to listen to.

@ipwntehn0obz

I'd never have learned about KMFDM if not for columbine

@fabianknoll8401

kmfdm`s best song imao

@aldxbaran

i regret nothing

@InSingularity

While I agree, I also think they were responsible for their actions, and the responsibility to refrain from doing what they did lay on them, and not everyone else.

@Anima8021

Got that right. Natural Selection
