Monday
Metronomy Brian Nasty Folly Group Lyrics

So what, I guess you're what they call Monday
I am acknowledging that you are a difficult day that I don't necessarily look forward to, much like the beginning of the workweek.

You remind me of all the things I hate about myself
Being reminded of you makes me feel negative and critical about myself because of the challenges you bring.

Don't watch that, you'll get over it someday
Don't let this difficulty consume you because there is hope that it will pass eventually.

Find it hard to talk sometimes, let alone ask for help
I struggle with communication and seeking help when I am struggling, making the challenge of this day even more daunting.

Systems to sell, your senses to rot
There are societal structures that are selling us a way of life that ultimately harms our well-being and limits our potential.

And right all the wrongs that you just forgot
We need to make amends for the harm we have caused in the past, which we may have overlooked or neglected to address.

Put through pain and the people we done
We have caused harm to others and ourselves through our actions, leading to pain and suffering.

Joining in arms to go through it preferred
We are stronger together and can face challenges more effectively as a united front.

Uh, I never dared to doubt
I have always believed in myself and my ability to overcome challenges, even in difficult situations like this.

Felt this way longer than I can count
I have been struggling with this for longer than I can remember, making it even more frustrating and disheartening.

So that feeling can't catch me as long as I don't stop
I must keep moving forward and resisting this difficult feeling in order to avoid letting it consume me entirely.

And I move, if I stop, I lose
Stagnation is not an option for me, as it will only result in further difficulty and frustration.

This pain I choose not to take this to Tuesday
I am choosing to face this pain and difficulty head-on today so that it does not carry over into the next day.

Everyday stains like it's toothpaste
Small, everyday struggles can build up and make things feel overwhelming, like a stubborn toothpaste stain that won't come out.

At this rate, my life is going to waste
If I don't address these difficulties and seek help when needed, I fear that my life will pass me by without truly living it to its full potential.

New day gotta watch my mind race
I must remain mindful and aware of my thoughts and feelings, especially as I face new struggles and challenges in the days ahead.

I guess you're what they call Monday
I am reiterating that you represent a difficult day that I must face, but acknowledging that it is just a label and I can work to overcome it.

You remind me of all the things I hate about myself
I am feeling negative and critical about myself, in part due to the challenges that you bring, Monday.

Don't watch that, you'll get over it someday
I am reminding myself to avoid fixating on these negative feelings, as they will not last forever and I will eventually overcome them.

Find it hard to talk sometimes, let alone ask for help
I acknowledge the difficulty I have with communication and seeking help, recognizing that it can make this day even more challenging.
