The Epoxies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need to see you I wanna spit right in your face
You think you're sex or ?
I know you're nothing when the guilt trip's off your face
And if you and I are smart we'll never meet again
I know this feeling it bleeds my insides
I wanna fight and fucking bury them alive
So now you'll kill the pass just to make it out alive
If I am smart I will never hear from you
This day I'm better alone
This week I'm on my own
This month I will get by
This year will never die
When will this leave me? When is it over?
? every time I breathe
I'm going down it's coming inside
The sweat and lust in here that I will always see
And if you and she are smart we'll never meet again
I've been a good girl I've been a weak girl
Her fates will follow with the day I clear my head
I will not break I will not listen
I will be happy when the visions are dead
And if you are smart you will begin again
The Epoxies's song "This Day" is a punk rock anthem about moving on from a toxic relationship. The first verse sets the tone of the song as the singer expresses their disdain for their former partner. They "wanna spit right in [their] face" and see through their façade of confidence, recognizing that "when the guilt trip's off [their] face" they are really "nothing". The singer acknowledges that it's best for both parties to never see each other again.
In the second verse, the singer vents their frustration at their own feelings. They want to fight and "bury them [their feelings] alive". They've been a "good girl" but are ready to move on and "kill the past" to "make it out alive". The chorus reinforces this theme of independence and resilience. The singer will be "better alone" and can survive without their former partner.
The bridge serves as a reflection on the aftermath of the relationship. The singer wonders "when will this leave me?" and expresses feeling intense emotions "every time I breathe". But ultimately, they are resolved to move on and not let the memories and feelings consume them. They will "not break" and "be happy when the visions are dead". The song concludes with a final call for both parties to begin anew.
Line by Line Meaning
I think I know you so glad to meet you
I believe I know who you are, but it's nice to finally meet you
I need to see you I wanna spit right in your face
I have a strong urge to see you and show my anger towards you
You think you're sex or ?
Do you think you're attractive or something?
I know you're nothing when the guilt trip's off your face
I'm aware that you're not as great as you seem to be when you're not trying to make me feel guilty
And if you and I are smart we'll never meet again
If we're intelligent, we'll avoid seeing each other in the future
This day I'm better alone
Today, being by myself is better for me
This week I'm on my own
This week, I'll be handling things on my own
This month I will get by
This month, I'll be able to manage
This year will never die
This year will be memorable and will never be forgotten
When will this leave me? When is it over?
When will this feeling go away? When will it be done?
? every time I breathe
It feels like something is obstructing me every time I take a breath
I'm going down it's coming inside
I'm starting to feel overwhelmed and trapped
The sweat and lust in here that I will always see
I'll never forget the passion and intense feelings that were present here
And if you and she are smart we'll never meet again
If you and another person are wise, you'll avoid crossing paths with me in the future
I've been a good girl I've been a weak girl
I've tried to behave myself, but I've also been vulnerable
Her fates will follow with the day I clear my head
The outcomes of my actions will become clearer once I'm able to think more clearly
I will not break I will not listen
I won't let myself break down or be influenced by others
I will be happy when the visions are dead
I'll finally be content once these memories and images are gone
And if you are smart you will begin again
If you're wise, you'll start over and try to do better
