Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The song "Better Day" by Six Hung Sprung is about reuniting with someone who was previously thought to be gone. The singer acknowledges that someone may have had doubts about their presence, but they are now back and ready to be together. The first verse speaks directly to this person, saying that despite not being able to communicate, they will have a good day together. The use of the word "shut me up" implies that perhaps there was a misunderstanding or argument before the separation, but now they can put that behind them.
The chorus emphasizes the positivity of the day ahead. Despite acknowledging that not everyone may participate or be able to "hang" (potentially referring to social or economic differences), the singer still cares for them. The repetition of "today" throughout the chorus emphasizes the immediacy of the good day they will have. The second verse continues this theme, with the singer saying that they know they are alright (potentially referring to being in a better state mentally or physically than before) and that tonight there will be a precedent set and they will "rock on."
Overall, the song seems to be about overcoming obstacles and coming back stronger. The themes of unity, positivity, and perseverance are emphasized throughout the lyrics.
