Another Day
Run and Punch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
got the same wrinkles in my dress
All these secrets in my head, you're not around for me to confess
Records piled on the floor, same old song I've heard before
Wish it wasn't such a chore
Wish it wasn't such a bore
I sit and wait for my life to begin
It's just one of those days
I always find myself stuck in
Make me wait, I have no choice
Thinkin' of you I shout I lose my voice
I can't breathe no I can't hear
senses and you diappear
Forget all your promises made,
I have to let this fantasy fade
Loud and clear I must obey
Don't let me waste another day
It's just another day
I sit and wait for my life to begin
It's just one of those days
I always find myself stuck in
In "Another Day," Run and Punch's lyrics describe the feeling of stagnation and longing. The singer's life is still a mess, with the same wrinkles in their dress and secrets in their head that they can no longer confess to the person they wish were around. They are surrounded by records piled up on the floor, listening to the same old songs they've heard before, wishing it wasn't such a chore or bore.
The second verse reveals the singer's urgency and impatience. They have no choice but to wait, thinking about the person they shout for until they lose their voice, unable to breathe or hear anything else. They are pleading to forget the promises made, to let this hopeless fantasy fade, and clear their minds. They must obey this moral imperative and not let themselves waste another day, even though it is just another day with nothing changing.
Overall, "Another Day" touches on universal themes of boredom, stagnation, and unrequited love. The singer longs for something more than what their life currently offers, and the song expresses the hopelessness and longing surrounding that desire. It's a relatable and poignant portrayal of the human struggle.

Much love from Toronto. It's sad to see ska descend into nothingness as it has in this new age. Keep on skanking friends.
Run And Punch
Seriously. There are pockets of local/DIY ska communities here and there doing their thing. Nothing like the old days though.
Same to you - keep on skankin' ✌️

You guys are just awsome! I used to dislike female vocals, but Laura's voice is just amazing. Hope you become very famous and come visit Brazil someday.
