03 3 Days
Rhye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I'll eat your minerals
Like a rabid beast at a foolish feast
I'll steal your breath
Like a twisted thief with a mangled glove
It's just my nature I ruin love
Stealing kisses in those misses within beats
I'm killing you
I'm killing you
There's a window in time
Three days to feel each other, crack this spine
It's gonna break cave in on itself
Love is terminal not built to last
Burn bright burn fast
Stealing kisses in those misses within beats
Stealing kisses in those bloody sheets
I'm killing you
I'm killing you
So many ways
So many ways
We got three days to feel each other, we got three days to sing this song
The lyrics to Rhye's song Days are quite dark and complex in nature, but they seem to revolve around the idea of destructive love. The first verse displays the singer as a sort of predator or animal, willing to consume and destroy their lover's very essence (their minerals, and their breath). The second verse paints love as something fragile and doomed to fail, something that is "terminal not built to last".
The chorus mentions stealing kisses from "those misses within beats" and "those bloody sheets", which may imply that the relationship and the love they share is chaotic and perhaps even violent. The repetition of "I'm killing you" further suggests this destructive nature of the relationship.
The last verse brings up the idea that they only have three days to feel each other, and to sing their song together. This could be interpreted as a reminder that love is fleeting, and that they should enjoy it while they can.
Overall, the lyrics to Days paint a picture of love that is intense, passionate, but ultimately doomed to fail. The harsh imagery of consuming and destroying adds a dark and almost frightening element to the song.

Going up in flames quickly, intense and passionate but not meant to last

So many opportunities

We have a limited time to know each other, to enjoy this moment while it lasts
