Another Day
Pomplamoose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shows its face
I'm half awake
Half in space
And if you told me I was beautiful well that would just
Be in poor taste.
Another hour
I've yet to shower
Yet to dry
And if you told me I was wonderful I probably would
Wonder why.
I am yours
You are mine
I am yours
You are mine
So it's alright.
Another plate
In the sink
We're half the same
Half distinct
And if you told me I was perfect I'd assume you'd had
Too much to drink.
I am yours
You are mine
I am yours
You are mine
So it's alright.
Another day
Fades away
We're half asleep
Half in space
And if you told me we were dreaming I would pinch you
To prove we're awake.
And if you told me we were dreaming I would pinch you
To prove we're awake.
If you told me we were dreaming I would pinch you
To prove we're awake.
If you told me we were dreaming I would pinch you
To prove we're awake.
The lyrics of Pomplamoose's "Another Day" seemingly capture the mood of someone who’s not fully conscious, evenly balancing between waking and dreaming states. The opening lines, "Another day shows its face, I'm half awake, half in space," establish the surreal, somewhat dream-like atmosphere. The singer is introduced to us dreaming, drifting through his or her day to day activities. They’re not fully present, lost in a thought space, given away by the verses, "And if you told me I was beautiful well that would just be in poor taste… And if you told me I was wonderful, I probably would wonder why." These lines imply that the singer is self-critical and has a hard time seeing the good in themself.
The chorus to the song presents a sharp contrast. "I am yours, you are mine, I am yours, you are mine, so it's alright," hits you directly in the face with an intense feeling of love, telling the listener that all these trials and tribulations are alright, and we’ll still come out whole. This stanza is easily the true meaning of the song, overshadowing all the mental fog the singer has been feeling all day. The song ends with, "If you told me we were dreaming, I would pinch you to prove we're awake." This last line reinforces the idea of the singer's struggle with the distinction between reality and his or her dreams.

Another day
A new day has begun
Shows its face
It has started
I'm half awake
Not fully awake yet
Half in space
Still lost in thoughts
And if you told me I was beautiful well that would just
Be in poor taste.
Being complimented on appearance is not appropriate at the moment
Another hour
Time is ticking by
Flying by
Passing very fast
I've yet to shower
Still haven't taken a shower
Yet to dry
Still need to dry yourself after shower
And if you told me I was wonderful I probably would
Wonder why.
Complimenting on character doesn't seem right
I am yours
I belong to you
You are mine
You belong to me
So it's alright.
Everything is good between us
Another plate
A dish needs washing
In the sink
Located in the sink
We're half the same
We share some similarities
Half distinct
We are different in some aspects
And if you told me I was perfect I'd assume you'd had
Too much to drink.
Being called perfect doesn't make sense
Another day
Another day has passed
Fades away
It's ending
We're half asleep
Not fully awake
Half in space
Lost in thoughts
And if you told me we were dreaming I would pinch you
To prove we're awake.
We need to be convinced that we are in reality
If you told me we were dreaming I would pinch you
To prove we're awake.
We need to be convinced that we are in reality
If you told me we were dreaming I would pinch you
To prove we're awake.
We need to be convinced that we are in reality

This was the first Pomplamoose song I found on YouTube 9 years ago, and it’s still one of my favorites!
@gyspygitana

@jacnc
Years later, I still "picture" this as the song playing under the opening credits/graphics/animation/filmed bits of a rom-com or similar comedy. Sets the mood perfectly.
@rexmage
This music, seeing you two having fun and happy together in the same room makes me so happy.

@saintamary
I don't think I've ever seen people have this much fun making music! I love it! I literally discovered Pomplamoose 15 minutes ago and I am already hooked.
@BOICRAZYTV
I used to be SO OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG :O
@stvbrsn
I LOVE the handclap dance! And Jack jumping around like a lunatic with the tambourine! And Nataly's eye-dancing. And, well... EVERYTHING ELSE they ever do!
@Nerfinators009
omgomgomgomg I used to fucking love this when I was 11! I'm now 16 and it's absolutely crazy to rediscover this. OH MY GOD
