Yesterdays
Mucky Pup Lyrics

The lyrics of Mucky Pup's song Yesterdays describe the journey of self-discovery and growth, which involves reflecting on one's past. The song speaks to the profound inevitability of yesterday's events to shape one's present and future. The opening lines "Woke up one day, forgot about my yesterdays" suggest that the singer is trying to move on from their past and start fresh, which isn't always easy. The second line "Can't blame my second try" implies that the singer has had a second opportunity, and they don't want to squander it. The third line "I swore I'd hold it till the day I die" suggests that the singer is determined and committed to whatever they're trying to achieve, whether it's leaving their past behind or starting a new phase of their life.

However, the mood shifts in the next verse as the singer wakes up the next day feeling the same as they did yesterday. Hence, the line "Sometimes I wonder why, was God on my side or by my side." This vague lyric suggests that the singer's faith in a higher power is wavering, and they're questioning the purpose and direction of their life. They then reflect on their journey and come to accept that they can acknowledge their past while still keeping their eyes towards the future. They declare that "My way was my way yesterday," indicating that all the events and experiences of the past have shaped who they are today. The last lines drive home the song's message, emphasizing that what good are the present days without the lessons learned and experiences gained from yesterday.
