Another Day
Takida Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another day, another try
Another moment, another cry
Thorn in my side, it's just keep on being loud
Hey now, we're fallin out of line
It's hollow, cold and nothing new
We just wanna get us through another day
The feeling stays the same

Another downfall, another time
Another reject, another life
A glimpse from hell, taste the evil, taste the smell

Another mission, the search for light
Another failure to make it right
Oh lonely times, fall in fall out

It's getting closer, a touch is getting closer
It's getting closer now, a touch is getting closer

Break the silence darling, before I go now

Overall Meaning

The song "Another Day" by Takida is reminiscent of the struggles that we all face on a daily basis. The opening line "Another day, another try" reflects how we wake up every morning feeling hopeful and ready to tackle the day, but sometimes, despite our best efforts, things don't always go as planned, and we fall short of our expectations. The line "Another moment, another cry" could be interpreted as the tears we shed when things don't go our way or the disappointment we feel when something we hoped for does not happen.

The lines "Thorn in my side, it's just keep on being loud" and "Another downfall, another time" are reminiscent of the obstacles we face in our lives. It seems like no matter what we do, there is always something holding us back or making our journey harder. The line "A glimpse from hell, taste the evil, taste the smell" is a vivid depiction of how our struggles can sometimes feel like a trip to the underworld, where everything smells foul and rancid.

The refrain "It's getting closer, a touch is getting closer" could be interpreted as hope that despite everything, success and good things are within reach if we keep pushing forward. The final line "Break the silence darling, before I go now" could be a call to someone who is struggling with loneliness to speak up and ask for help before it's too late.
