DAY BY DAY
Strange Corner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and sun dry my lonely soul wet by the tears
which every day I shed
wet by the tears which every day I shed
you think I shed them over too many stupid
problems
or maybe for nothing at all
hey please god of wind
and take away from my moon all this fucking cloudy sky
without fear I want to close my eyes
and I wanna turn off my poor heart
I want to close my eyes again and just think
only for myself
rain!
purify my skin
and sun!
light my spirit day by day.
IS NOT COOL
every god has his own fucking victim
but we can't live without them
the religion is too damned important for all
humanity
I don't know why
I don't know why my curiosity needs an answer.
The lyrics to Strange Corner's song "Day By Day" convey a sense of longing for purification and freedom from the burdens of everyday life. The singer pleads for rain to wash away their "dirty skin" and for the sun to dry their "lonely soul wet by tears" shed over "stupid problems." The use of profanity and anger towards religion suggests a frustration with the constraints and expectations placed on individuals by society and faith. The singer wants to close their eyes and turn off their heart, to think only of themselves and be free from the weight of the world. The repeated pleas for rain and sun to purify and light their spirit hint at a desire for rebirth and renewal.
Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on the struggles of modern life and the pressure to conform to societal norms and religious expectations. The raw emotion and profanity used in the lyrics convey a sense of frustration and perhaps even anger towards these systems of control. At the same time, there is a hint of hope and a desire for personal growth and renewal.
