Day After Day
Night Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
After this drawn-out suicide
My scars no longer bother me
I lick my wounds and count the stars for free
It's no longer mine
Left me behind
It didn't die
But waved goodbye
Brokenhearted nights of ecstasy
My soul died inside of me
One last candle slowly burns
The Earth keeps turning even though it hurts
It's no longer mine
Left me behind
It didn't die
But waved goodbye
The dream of a wonderful life
The dream of a wonderful life
Don't want to remember what I dream
The dream of a wonderful life
Don't want to remember what I dream
The dream of a wonderful life
I don't want to remember what I dream
The lyrics of Night's song "Day After Day" depict a sense of struggle and survival in the face of emotional pain and loss. The opening lines suggest a lingering feeling of disbelief and astonishment at still being alive despite enduring what seems like a prolonged, metaphorical suicide. The scars referred to here are not just physical but also emotional, suggesting a history of internal wounds that have become less bothersome over time. The act of licking wounds is symbolic of finding solace and healing oneself.
The mention of counting stars for free implies a newfound appreciation for the beauty and wonder of the world, even in the midst of personal turmoil. The line "It's no longer mine, left me behind" indicates a sense of detachment, as if the singer has lost ownership of their own life. The idea that something has not died but rather waved goodbye implies that the pain or loss experienced was not a permanent part of the singer's life but rather a temporary departure.
The chorus repeatedly mentions the dream of a wonderful life, suggesting a desire for happiness and fulfillment that seems to have been shattered. The following lines depict brokenhearted nights of ecstasy, emphasizing the contrast between the desired state of joy and the reality of pain. The mention of a slowly burning candle represents the passage of time and the endurance of suffering, even as the world continues to turn. The repetition of the phrase "The dream of a wonderful life" in the closing lines suggests a resignation to not wanting to remember or revisit those dreams, which may only bring back painful memories.
Overall, the lyrics of "Day After Day" convey a sense of resilience and a struggle to find meaning and hope despite the pain and disappointment experienced in life.
Line by Line Meaning
I don't know how I'm still alive
I am uncertain about how I have managed to survive in this state
After this drawn-out suicide
Following this prolonged act of self-destruction
My scars no longer bother me
The wounds I bear no longer cause me distress
I lick my wounds and count the stars for free
I find solace in tending to my wounds and finding comfort in the beauty of the night sky without any cost
It's no longer mine
The sense of ownership or control over something is no more
Left me behind
It abandoned or deserted me
It didn't die
Although it may have changed or evolved, it did not cease to exist
But waved goodbye
Instead, it bid farewell to me
The dream of a wonderful life
The longing for a life filled with joy and happiness
Brokenhearted nights of ecstasy
Nights filled with immense pleasure tainted by heartbreak
My soul died inside of me
My inner essence or spirit perished within myself
One last candle slowly burns
A single remaining source of hope or light dimly flickers
The Earth keeps turning even though it hurts
Despite the pain, life continues and the world continues to rotate
Don't want to remember what I dream
I prefer not to recall the contents of my dreams

If anyone doesn't know what this song is about, the backstory is that he used to sleep in his uncle's house. Then he got into an argument with his uncle. His uncle died before he could apologize and now he stressed and regretful that he couldn't make things right. There you go.

I thought it was about a dude who does drugs and can’t escape taking a hit of them. So, during the day, he’s stressed looking for drugs and at night he does them
