A Hard Day's Night
Rainbow Red Oxidizer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it just to hear you say you're going to give me everything
So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight
It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright, ow
So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel OK
When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight
It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I feel alright
You know I feel alright
In this song, Rainbow Red Oxidizer sings about the exhaustion that comes with working hard and long hours. The lyrics describe how the singer has been working like a dog, yet despite the fatigue, he still finds comfort and solace when he is with his lover. The chorus emphasizes this point, using the phrase “when I get home to you” to suggest that the singer’s partner is the one thing that can make him feel better after a hard day’s work. This may also indicate that the singer is in a long-distance relationship, and the anticipation of seeing their partner is what keeps them going through the day.
The second verse offers a glimpse into the singer’s motivation for working so hard. He explains that he works all day to provide for his partner, buying them things and making them happy. The singer seems content with this dynamic, as he believes it is worth it just to hear his partner say that they will give him everything. This suggests that the singer values the emotional connection with his partner more than material possessions or wealth.
