โข NEIKED is the brainchild of singer, songwriter, and producer Victor Rรฅdstrรถm. The Stockholm native formed a collective of singers, songwriters, and producers to release songs that were โtoo bold or differentโ for other artists.
โข The collectiveโs breakthrough came with the 2016 single โSexual,โ featuring English singer-songwriter Dyo. โSexualโ charted around the world, peaking at No. 5 in the UK and narrowly missing the Top 20 of Billboardโs Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart in the US.
โข Featuring a mix of previously released singles and new songs, NEIKEDโs debut album, Best of Hard Drive, arrived in 2019.
Better Days
NEIKED Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need someone to hold me
Come on, baby, hold me
Yeah, I've been feeling jaded
Don't know how I should play it
Tell me how to play it
Now you, you've been moving on
Since you're gone, oh, it's been so long
On my own, my own, my own, my own
Living in a haze, staying in the shade
All I do is sit around and wait for better days
I could use a break, can I get an Amen?
All I do is sit around and wait for better days
Uh, uh
Can I get an Amen?
Introverted, can't make friends
Pray for better days, now it's 300k when my day ends
Do you remember last night? 'Cause I blacked out
In that all white dress with her back out
Said, be careful with her heart 'cause it's fragile
And thinking 'bout her past make her lash out
See, with me it ain't no worries at all
Any problem I'll be there, one call
If we locked in, you my dawg
Fan of you, hang pictures on my wall
Roll one, let's get high tonight
Backseat, Maybach, lavish life
Chilling with the stars like a satellite
AP on my arm and it's shining bright
Living in a haze, staying in the shade
All I do is sit around and wait for better days
I could use a break, can I get an Amen?
All I do is sit around and wait for better days
Sit around, sit around, sit around and wait
For better, better, better days
Oh, I could use a break
Oh, better, better, better, better
For better days, oh no
All I do is sit around and wait for better days
Better days
All I do is sit around and wait for better days, no
The lyrics to NEIKED's "Better Days" describe the feelings of loneliness and uncertainty that the artist is experiencing. He longs for someone to hold him and guide him through his struggles. The chorus emphasizes that he is living in a haze and waiting for better days to come. The artist reflects on how the absence of his partner has left him feeling lost and isolated. He's not sure how to move forward on his own and is in search of guidance.
The second verse introduces a new perspective where NEIKED speaks about a new relationship. The lyrics show a change in tone as he begins to describe the good times he's been having with this new lover. He sees her as someone who is fragile and needs to be treated with care. In contrast to the sadness of the first verse, he's now basking in the excitement of his new romance. However, despite this newfound happiness, he still recognizes that he is waiting for "better days."
Overall, "Better Days" is a song that speaks to the universal experience of struggling through tough times in life while holding onto the hope that things will improve.
