Another Day Dies
Redemption Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a tragic and unsung passing
The zero sum of the time I've left
Claims another victim
Looking at all of the things I broke
Thinking that things could be different
If I'd only tried
Sweat breaking on this brow
Exhausted now but the
Nightmares just won't let me sleep
Another night falls on the world you've made
And it's as black as a hate-filled heart
Strangle the love and reject the call
To rebuild this place
Encourage the strong to deny the weak
As you callously play your part
Devour the pain of the ones you've hurt
And spit it in their face
Hands shaking
Tears welling in these eyes
I turn away but the
Visions still persist
How far we've strayed
From supposed to be
We've chosen black instead of light
There's something else here for you and me
If we're prepared to fight
A new day dawns on the world we've made
And its filled with fear and wonder
The way it plays out will be up to us
And somehow, I'm still hopeful
Still standing
Resolve within my heart
Take these broken arms
And build
How far we've strayed
From supposed to be
We've chosen black instead of light
There's something else here for you and me
If we're prepared to fight
How far we've strayed
How far we've strayed
There's something else
There's something else
The song "Another Day Dies" by Redemption is a dark and introspective reflection on the choices and mistakes that we make as individuals, and the consequences that follow. The opening lines set the tone, as the singer laments yet another day that has passed without making any significant change. He acknowledges that time is running out for him and that he has failed to make a meaningful impact on the world around him. The line "the zero sum of the time I've left claims another victim" is particularly poignant, as it highlights the existential dread that comes with the realization of one's own mortality.
The second verse is even more bleak as the singer concedes to the darkness within him, succumbing to hate and rejecting any hope of rebuilding. He revels in the pain he has caused others, a twisted validation of his own failures. As the chorus repeats the refrain "how far we've strayed from supposed to be," it's clear that the singer is struggling to come to terms with the life he's created for himself. In the final verse, however, there's a glimmer of hope as he looks towards the future with renewed determination. He recognizes that it's up to him to create a better world, and he's willing to put in the work to make it happen. Despite everything he's been through, he's still standing, and that's something to be hopeful about.

I came here just to see James LaBrie in another song, but I think I just found a new band I want to listen to.
Nafferty
Love James LaBrie, Love the music to this song. But they don't fit very often throughout the song. Hmm

@MyMytalMajesty b/c he's a puppet on a string in DT. I hope it gets better now that MP left.
infonator1
Dude as much as I think that Mike Mangini is a very nice guy and yes I've seen them play with Mangini already three times and in a month I'll see them a fourth time. I can say for absolute certain that they lost the heart of DT when M. P. got out or kicked out whatever it was. I've seen Mike M. lose his place in a song with Jordan Rudas telling him or urging him with signals more than once in a showing! Mike Portnoy is the absolute most natural and most gifted mother 4*****g drummer in the world! The mother can be in countless of projects at once and do it without breaking a sweat! And when the dude records it takes one 4*****g take in like the most 4*****g complex song you and your granny wheelchaired junkyard band will ever even imagine and dream they could play! So get off your bruised high horse, you and I know your jealous as 4**k!
immortalsoloist
@Mjws2907 If it weren't for Mike Portnoy and his vision! DT would have broken up a long time ago due to the immense pressure of writing commercial hits by the label! It was Portnoy who got Dream Theater the freedom to do what they have to do. So please get your facts straight sir. Cheers.
