Just Another Day
O-JEE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
O’ lord no one said
life’s such a pain
Get out, I barely hear my breath
Watch out dark thoughts are spinning around
I pushed the light away
Sipping my own blood
I feel alone
Get your hands away Get your hands away
I’ll take a stand today (a welcome to outstay)
get your hands away
Get out! she licks her bleeding lips
Watch out! I'm moving toward you again
I pushed the ghosts away
Sipping my own blood
I feel alone
But it's alright
Get your hands away Get your hands away
I’ll take a stand today (a welcome to outstay)
get your hands away
The lyrics in O-JEE’s song “Just Another Day” speak to a person who is having a really tough time, struggling with their own thoughts and feelings of isolation. The song begins with the singer expressing their frustration at feeling like they’re going through just another bad day, with nobody recognizing how hard it is for them to just get through the pain of life. As the song progresses, the lyrics suggest that the main character may be struggling with mental health issues. They describe dark thoughts spinning around and pushing the light away, expressing feelings of being alone and having a shadow across their mind.
Despite all of this, however, the main character seems to come to a resolve at the end of the song. They take a stand and refuse to let their demons win, telling the voices to get their hands away and asserting that they are welcome to outstay. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the character acknowledging that while they still feel alone, everything will be alright.

It’s just another bad day
Today is a difficult day
O’ lord no one said life’s such a pain
No one warned me that life would be so painful
Get out, I barely hear my breath
I feel suffocated and overwhelmed
Watch out dark thoughts are spinning around
Negative thoughts are consuming my mind
I pushed the light away
I am intentionally avoiding positivity
Sipping my own blood I feel alone
I am hurting myself and feeling isolated
a shadow across my mind
I am struggling with mental darkness
Get your hands away Get your hands away
I do not want your help or touch
I’ll take a stand today (a welcome to outstay)
I am taking control of my situation and refusing to give up
Get out! she licks her bleeding lips
I am aggressively pushing others away
Watch out! I'm moving toward you again
I am unpredictable and switching between behaviors
I pushed the ghosts away
I am trying to escape my past traumas
But it's alright
Despite the struggles, I am coping
Get your hands away Get your hands away
I am still rejecting help and touch
I’ll take a stand today (a welcome to outstay)
I am continuing to take control and fight for my well-being
