Sylencer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna to go for a ride
And if you can't make it
I'll see you on the other side
There's but one solution
Don't look so surprised
All the misfortune
Is in the public eye
Whoa now we're in trouble
Can't you believe they lied (Can't you believe they lied)
Freedom of speech
...the American dream have died (This dream has died)
I'm not backing down
'Til I've justified ('Til I've justified)
Your disfigured delusion
Controlling all our lives
The death of a nation
Abused authority
With no hesitation
In the name of conformity
Fear, do not question
Turn your head
Truth's assassination
Don't believe a word they say
Day By Day
The death of a nation
Abused authority
With no hesitation
In the name of conformity
Fear, do not question
Turn your head
Truth's assassination
Don't believe a word they say
Day By Day
The song "Day by Day" by Sylencer is a commentary on the current state of social and political affairs in the United States. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and disillusionment with the government and the media, who are seen as complicit in perpetuating a distorted version of reality. The opening lines, "Would you like to join me, I'm gonna go for a ride," suggest a desire to escape the chaos and confusion of the world around them. The singer acknowledges that not everyone will be able to come along, but assures the listener that they will meet again on "the other side."
The following lines, "There's but one solution, don't look so surprised, all the misfortune is in the public eye," suggest that the root of the problem lies in a lack of transparency and honesty on the part of those in power. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "The death of a nation, abused authority, with no hesitation, in the name of conformity," emphasizing the idea that the country is in a state of crisis due to a corrupted system that prioritizes conformity over truth and justice. The song encourages listeners to question what they're being told and not to accept the status quo blindly.
