Grey
The Everyday Anthem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a bottle of wine
Makes a toast to herself because doing just fine
It falls to the side of her bed
Prayin shes better than this
Hopin she can find a place where shes better than.
Making her way, through everyday
Trying her best not to lose her self
World turns to gray, its missing the color and the lines on her face, they all run together
And its starting to rain on our plants for forever
She smiles through the pain, trying to best to let go
Oh, trying her best to let go
The voice thats inside of her head, tells her shes brighter than this
The suns beating down, the colors are washed, out
Makin her way, through everyday, trying her best not to lose herself
With her head in the clouds and feet on the ground
Makin her way through every day
Tryin her best not to lose herself
Makin her way through everyday
Making her way through everyday
World turns to grey its missing the color
And the lines on her face, they all run together
And its starting to rain on our plants for forever
And she smiles through the pain, trying her best to let go
Tryin her bet to let
Oh but a heart of stone is hard to find
And part of home is left behind
All she knows is goodbye
Cause empty lies terrify
And you could see it in her eyes
Shes sick and tired of seeing her world i black and white
World turns to grey
Its missing its color
And the lines on her face
They all run together
And its starting to rain on our plants for forever
She smiles through the pain tryin her best not to let go\
The world turns to grey
Its missing its color and the lines on her face
They all run together
And its starting to rain on our plants for forever
And she smiles through the pain
Tryin her best to let
Goooo
Ohhhhh
Ohhhh
Ohhhhh
Makin her way through everyday
Tryin her best not to lose herself
With her head in the clouds and feet on the ground

She passes the time
She spends her time
With a bottle of wine
Drinking wine alone
Makes a toast to herself because doing just fine
Cheers to herself for being good
It falls to the side of her bed
The bottle rolls next to her bed
Prayin shes better than this
Hoping to improve herself
Hopin she can find a place where shes better than.
Looking for a place to belong
Making her way, through everyday
Living through each day
Trying her best not to lose her self
Attempting to maintain her identity
With her head in clouds and feet on the ground
Being lost in thought while being present
World turns to gray, its missing the color and the lines on her face, they all run together
The world seems dull and lacking color, vision blurs
And its starting to rain on our plants for forever
Metaphor for the sadness and endlessness she is feeling
She smiles through the pain, trying to best to let go
Pretending to be okay and trying to move on
Oh, trying her best to let go
Struggling to let go
The voice thats inside of her head, tells her shes brighter than this
The voice in her head encourages her to be her best
The suns beating down, the colors are washed out
The sun is making everything look dull
Makin her way, through everyday, trying her best not to lose herself
Trying to stay true to herself while living her life
Making her way through every day
Living through every day
World turns to grey its missing the color
The world looks gray and uninteresting
And the lines on her face, they all run together
Feeling like time is slipping away
Oh but a heart of stone is hard to find
Having a tough exterior is difficult to achieve
And part of home is left behind
Leaving a part of oneself behind
All she knows is goodbye
Feeling like every goodbye is final
Cause empty lies terrify
Being afraid of false promises
And you could see it in her eyes
Her emotions are visible in her eyes
Shes sick and tired of seeing her world i black and white
Being sick of the mundane and uninteresting
Its missing its color and the lines on her face
The world is dull and aging
She smiles through the pain trying her best not to let go
Pretending to be okay and holding on
Goooo
Background chorus
Makin her way through everyday
Living through each day
Tryin her best not to lose herself
Struggling to maintain her identity
With her head in the clouds and feet on the ground
Being lost in thought while being present

This one especially, since I'm the type of person to stay home and work on things such as school rather than go out 😅
