Another Day
Texas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lightening runs through the fallen flames
By kneeling down we're here to pray
At that point forsaken, unafraid
I only want to feel you being strong
I only want to feel you being strong
Call me up, and let's begin
Call me up, and let's begin
Another day
Call me up, and let's begin
Call me up, and let's begin
You done that to me
Feel my breath go cold and calm
My pride is last, and I sin again
And all the seasons change their scent
A year of hell - they come against my head once more
I only want to feel you being strong
I only want to feel you being strong
[Chorus x 4]
The lyrics of Texas's song "Another Day" seem to be about persevering through difficult times with the help of someone strong. The "winter's tale" and "fallen flames" evoke a sense of despair and hopelessness, but the lightning that runs through them could represent a sudden burst of hope or inspiration. The act of kneeling down to pray suggests a plea for guidance or strength, even in the face of adversity. The line "at that point forsaken, unafraid" implies a willingness to face whatever challenges come next, even if it means standing alone.
The chorus, with its repeated call to "call me up, and let's begin," could be interpreted as a request for someone to be a source of strength and motivation. The phrase "you done that to me" suggests that this person has already helped the singer in the past and is being called upon again. The verses continue to describe the ups and downs of life and the need for someone strong to lean on. The line "my pride is last, and I sin again" could be a confession of weakness or a recognition that it's okay to ask for help when needed.
Overall, the lyrics of "Another Day" are about resilience and the importance of having someone strong to help guide us through difficult times. The imagery of winter and lightning adds a sense of urgency and danger, while the chorus provides a glimmer of hope for better days ahead.
