These Days
OH FYO! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Haven't felt so terrible for a while now
Something happens in my mind and I am helpless
Something happens, I despair trying to name it
Oh I feel like crying
But if I did, how to explain why
These days are dark
Never surrender to this feeling it's just temporary
Just move along
Like on the run
I know you're gonna find a way
And be as fine as yesterday
I'm getting tired of this never-ending cycle
This kind of sadness seems to worsen and go viral
Whatever made me feel alright now it is long gone
Maybe I need help, but I don't feel like trusting anyone
Oh I feel so alone
These days are dark, these days are cold
These days are dark
These days are cold
Never surrender to this feeling it's just temporary
Just move along
Like on the run
I know you're gonna find a way
And be as fine as yesterday
Is this a feeling
Is this a feeling
Or do I even feel
Do I feel at all
Is this a feeling
Is this a feeling
Or do I even feel
Do I feel at all
These days are dark
These days are cold
Never surrender to this feeling it's just temporary
Just move along
Like on the run
I know you're gonna find a way
And be as fine as yesterday
These lyrics depict the perspective of someone who is struggling with a negative emotional state. The opening lines talk about a person feeling down without a smile, and have been feeling terrible for some time now. The person is apparently stuck in a state of despair and can't seem to pinpoint the cause of their feelings. They are hopeless and helpless, and even the thought of crying provokes anxious thoughts. The second verse is about the person being tired of constantly feeling sad and how these feelings worsen and seem to go viral. They realize that whatever made them feel alright is long gone, and they feel isolated and lonely.
The chorus repeatedly asserts that these feelings are temporary and that the person will find a way to feel "fine as yesterday." The last few lines encapsulate the uncertainty of emotion and question whether or not the person even feels anything at all. The song captures the feeling of being stuck in a negative routine, and feeling as if nothing will ever change. However, it also connotes a sense of hope, reminding the listener that negative feelings are only temporary, and it's possible to move past them.
