1) Overdose is a metal pioneer band from the Brazilian region of Minas Gerais formed in 1983. In 1985, they divided with Sepultura the most famous split album of Brazilian metal, also the first LP released by the label Cogumelo Records. "Século XX" assured countrywide recognition to the band. Their first LP was Conscience in 1987, followed by the album You're Really Big released in 1989 and featuring a melodic Heavy Metal sound.
In 1990 Overdose recorded Addicted to Reality conceiving their Thrash Metal sound. Two years later the band released Circus of Death which was the base of various later recordings. Progress of Decadence, their most famous effort and also their most exotic album was released in 1993 through the U.S. label Futurist. During that time the band developed a consistent mixture between Brazilian folkloric drums, whistles and thrash. Their lyrics were based upon social problems and desolated landscapes of poverty in capitalistic societies.
Soon afterwards, the band headed for a world tour, achieving huge success specially in the US. That success leaded the recording of Scars in 1995, more focused in Thrash Metal mastery than their earlier album. In 1997, former Sepultura and The Mist guitarist Jairo Guedz briefly joined the band before moving on to join Eminence.

Just Another Day
OverDose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another day - Another day - Another...
Get the bread - Take the bus - Get off and sign in
A lot of work - A lot of work - A lot of...
Do this, do that
Don't you complain?
Your sweat is mine
Hard day - Hard life
Hard to survive
Each day I die to keep my family's keep
Die - Die - Die - Die
Die for a plate of food
Die for a place to live
Die for an old shoe
Die for my family to feed
[Chorus:]
You got my work
You got my soul
What else can you steal from my misery?
Yeah!
You want my pride!
Die
Do you want my life?
After work I can't be a man in my bed
I can't afford to be alive nor to be dead
I can't give health or education to my young
Or protect us all from the rain or from the sun
System controlled
I can't complain
Shut up - Obey!
Calm down your rage
You're just one piece lost in this game
Yet you're lucky to be still employed
Die - Die - Die - Die
Die for the right of being
Die for my life to live
Die doing only what's right
Die to keep my honesty
[Chorus (x2)]
The lyrics of OverDose's song "Just Another Day" describe the struggles of everyday life for the working class. The song starts with a reminder of the monotony of life as the singer wakes up to the alarm and heads to work. The lyrics emphasize the mundane and repetitive nature of his life with the phrases "Another day, get the bread, take the bus, sign in, a lot of work" repeated throughout the song. As the song progresses, we see the singer hating his job and complaining about how the system controls his life. He's not able to provide a better life for his family or even himself despite working so hard, and he feels trapped in this endless cycle of hard work just to survive.
The chorus shows the desperation and anger the singer feels towards his employer who takes away not just his work, but his pride and life too. He is unable to live or die on his own terms and feels hopeless and frustrated. The second verse highlights the struggles of the working-class despite employment. They are merely pieces lost in the game of survival with no voice to complain or rebel. The singer keeps on dying each day to preserve the honesty and dignity of his life.
