L7 & Waylon Jennings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Three days that I hate to be alive
Three days filled with tears and sorrow
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow
There are three days I know I will be blue
Three days I'll dream of you
And it does no good to wish these days to end
Three days that I dread to see arrive
Three days that I hate to be alive
Three days filled with tears and sorrow
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow
The lyrics to Three Days by L7 and Waylon Jennings are a sad reflection on the cyclical nature of grief.

The repetition of these three days highlights the endless cycle of grief and how it can become all-consuming.

Overall, Three Days is a poignant song that explores the never-ending nature of grief and how it can consume a person's life.

Three days that I dread to see arrive
I fear the coming of three specific days
Three days that I hate to be alive
I cannot stand to live through these three days
Three days filled with tears and sorrow
My emotions overwhelm me during these three days
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow
These three days are consecutive, starting from yesterday and continuing into today and tomorrow
There are three days I know I will be blue
I am certain that these three days will make me sad
Three days I'll dream of you
You constantly occupy my thoughts during these three days
And it does no good to wish these days to end
I cannot change the inevitable arrival of these three days
'Cause the same three days start over again
This cycle of three days repeats indefinitely

Donita could sing well clean and smooth, too bad she didn't explore that while Punk Rocking, all rasping and screaming (while still doing it well).
