These Days
People Press Play Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And one more day like this
Could change everything that we
Ever thought would keep these days
I feel like someone is turning tricks on me
And we're losing our grip
So why did you deny it
There really isn't time for it
No time for it
So why did you deny it
It's all a strange, a strange act of things
We can't postpone it any longer
It's all around
From mouth to mouth
We can't ignore this consequence
Shifted in between
All of these
Twisted thoughts that we had
Could it turn out that we've lost what we had?
So why did you deny it
There really isn't time for it
No time for it
So why did you deny it
The lyrics to People Press Play’s song These Days seem to be describing the feeling of being overwhelmed and losing control in a world that is moving too fast. The song speaks to the idea that one small event could completely change everything we have come to know and expect from these “fast” days. The line “We’re always in and out of everything” could represent the ever-changing nature of modern life and our struggle to keep up with it. The feeling of being deceived or tricked is also present in the line “I feel like someone is turning tricks on me”. This could represent the feeling of not being in control, and feeling as though someone else is pulling the strings.
The second half of the song speaks to the idea of consequences and taking responsibility for our actions. The lines “We can’t ignore this consequence” and “Could it turn out that we’ve lost what we had?” suggest that actions have consequences and that we need to be mindful of our choices. The chorus repeats the question “So why did you deny it?” which could be asking why someone would deny the consequences of their actions or why they would not take responsibility for them.
Overall, the lyrics in These Days seem to be exploring the difficult and overwhelming nature of modern life. We are constantly bombarded with stimulation and change, and it can be difficult to keep up with it all. However, the song also seems to be suggesting that taking responsibility for our actions and being mindful of our choices can help us navigate these difficult times.
