DAY BY DAY
Serafin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just past my window
She dances real slow
Under the sea is a dream is a dream
There's something obscene
In a dream in a dream
You've made my lungs sweat
My liquid skin set
Under the sea is a dream is a dream
There's something obsene
In a dream in a dream
Just like my rainbow
She likes it real slow
Under the sea is a dream is a dream
There's something obsene
In a dream in a dream

You wake up you go down
There's something inbetween
And day by day
You wake up and you go down
There's something inbetween
Day by day

My pores are open to every motion
Under the sea is a dream is a dream
There's something obsene
In a dream in a dream
Her naked entrance to naked violence
Under the sea is a dream is a dream
There's something obsene
In a dream in a dream

You wake up you go down
There's something inbetween
And day by day
You wake up and you go down
There's something inbetween
Day by day

I've always wanted to be.. with you
I've always wanted to be.. with you

You wake up you go down
There's something inbetween
And day by day
You wake up and you go down




There's something inbetween
Day by day

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Serafin's song Day by Day suggest a sense of longing and desire for connection. The singer seemingly watches a woman dance slowly past their window, her movements reminiscent of the dreamlike nature of being underwater. There is a suggestion of something illicit or taboo, as the repeated phrase "there's something obscene in a dream in a dream" hints at hidden desires or actions that cannot be spoken aloud. The singer's body is affected, with their lungs sweating and their skin set liquid.


The chorus, which repeats the phrase "you wake up you go down, there's something in between, and day by day," seems to speak of a cyclical nature of the singer's feelings and actions. There is always something in between them, perhaps a distance or a barrier preventing them from fully connecting. The final lines of "I've always wanted to be with you" reinforce this desire for connection, emphasizing that this is not just a fleeting feeling, but a long-held desire.
