Wait Another Day
Stray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(One, two, three, uh)

피곤한 몸 씻고 나와서
또 재미없는 TV를 틀고
흥미 없는 뉴스는 오늘도
알 수 없는 말로 떠들어

제일 중요했던 일이 뭐였더라
하고 싶던 일이 많았는데 시간에 자꾸 쫓기느라
세상에 참 많은 곳이 있는데
맘 편히 한숨 푹 쉴 공간조차 주변엔 없더라

그저 두 발 뻗고 눕는다고
눈이 감기지 않아
눈을 질끈 감아봐도 다시
꿈이 없는 잠을 자
잠에서 깰 때마다 짧은 호흡
잠깐의 몽롱함
의미 없는 하루
그 끝엔 다시 반복 yeah

끊임없는 다툼
끝이 없는 한숨
늘어지는 하품
신경은 날카롭고 하는 말은 비수
이 모든 일에 싫증

어두운 방 안을 비집고 들어갔던 날
그 누구 한 명쯤은 나를 돌아봤을까
힘겹게 겨우 하루 보냈었던 오늘 난
몇 번 웃었나 그게 과연 진심이었을까

생각에 잠긴 내 모습은 웃겨
어린애가 걱정도 많구나
그저 할 일이나 똑바로 해
휑 한 내 맘속은 다 몰라준 채
웃어넘길 줄만 아는 그런
모습이 난 싫더라

그저 두 발 뻗고 눕는다고
눈이 감기지 않아
눈을 질끈 감아봐도 다시
꿈이 없는 잠을 자
잠에서 깰 때마다 짧은 호흡
잠깐의 몽롱함
의미 없는 하루
그 끝엔 다시 반복 yeah

다들 나 빼고 행복한 거야 그게 참 궁금해
아님 나만 아직 숨길 줄 모르는 어린애




모두 가면 속에 내면을 다 꽁꽁 숨겨서
외로움이라는 단어에 조금씩 무뎌져

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Stray's song "Wait Another Day" reflect on the monotony of daily life and the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of unfulfilling routines. The singer describes feeling tired of the same old TV shows and meaningless news, feeling like time is constantly slipping away, and not having a place to simply relax and take a deep breath. The lyrics also touch on the frustration of constant arguing, and the sharpness of hurtful words.


The second half of the song becomes more introspective, with the singer wondering if anyone else actually cares about their happiness or if everyone else is just putting on a facade. They reflect on their own feelings of being overwhelmed and childish worries, wishing to have a clearer sense of direction and not just float through life in a haze. The final series of "yeah" repetitions drive home the idea that every day feels like the same thing over and over.


Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of someone struggling to find meaning and joy in their daily existence, feeling stuck in a rut and lost in a sea of routine.

Seungmin's part saying You've got so much worries for a kid, just go do your job just really got me. That's the kind of self-deprecating things I say to myself in bad times.

Jun Lanrete

It's the kind of thing that people older than you say to you no matter what and I'm saying that AS an adult. It never stops, never gets old, people always find a way to minimize your problems and if you get it enough, you end up doing it to yourself without knowing :< Always take care of yourself, everyone!

Taan

The feeling of emptiness and loneliness even with many people around
That part where Han asks if he is the only one who doesn't know how to hide it
Stray Kids songs always give me a rollercoaster ride of emotions
I love them and their music

Its me an average human

Same

This song is really relatable. I shut myself in my room, i dont hate socializing i think its fun but i just cant, i get scared with ppl around. I've frnds but not close enough to know the real me....even my parents doesnt know many things about me. Many times I've tried to open up but words jst doesn't come up. "How many times I've laughed were those sincere?" This line sung by hyunjin defines me clearly.....ppl think i m talkative and cheerful, i laugh and smile easily but are those really genuine? Sometimes i think if there was only one jst one who would try to understand me....i would be grateful....but there's no one "so i get used to the word loneliness"(lines by han). I m a stay and skz is the only group I stan so I m really thankful to Straykids for making and singing this song.... even if I'm not able to express myself, this song expresses me well:)

Edit: lol i didnt knew i wrote this much sorry hehe but i wanted to tell out loud;)

Keila
