The Same Day
Nina Nastasia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The same day keeps happening
The frosted breaks, the evening pains
And seeing I won't help myself
You can't remember why you stayed

I wish that I could throw you once
Be the steed to break himself
But that would take so many tries
With all the days we've lost so far





Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nina Nastasia's "The Same Day" present a profound insight into the experience of repetition and stagnation in a relationship. The first line, "The same day keeps happening," sets the theme of the song and presents the idea that the singer and their partner are stuck in a cycle of repeating behavior. The use of the present tense emphasizes the perpetuity of this pattern, creating a sense of hopelessness and despair.


The second line, "The frosted breaks, the evening pains," suggests a shift in mood and atmosphere as the day wears on. The use of contrasting imagery adds depth and texture to the lyrics, with "frosted breaks" implying something beautiful and fleeting and "evening pains" evoking feelings of discomfort and turmoil. The third line, "And seeing I won't help myself," speaks to the singer's inability to recognize the need for change and move beyond the cycle they are in.


The final lines of the verse, "You can't remember why you stayed / I wish that I could throw you once / Be the steed to break himself / But that would take so many tries / With all the days we've lost so far," encapsulate the theme of the song in a few powerful phrases. The first line highlights the uncertain nature of the relationship, while the following lines express a desire to break free from the cycle and move forward. The final line, "With all the days we've lost so far," speaks to the weight of time and suggests the difficulty of making a change after so much time has passed.


Line by Line Meaning

The same day keeps happening
Every day seems to be repeating and nothing has changed


The frosted breaks, the evening pains
Despite the changes in weather and time, there is still pain


And seeing I won't help myself
Knowing what I need to do won't necessarily lead to me actually doing it


You can't remember why you stayed
Feeling unsure about why you still remain in this situation


I wish that I could throw you once
Hoping that you will change if given the opportunity to start anew


Be the steed to break himself
Allowing you to take control and make the necessary changes


But that would take so many tries
Realizing that change is difficult and may require several attempts


With all the days we've lost so far
Knowing that a lot of time has already been wasted and progress may be slow
