Day After Day
The Glue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I had no life left I felt most alive. Now I live for today just trying to survive.
When I had no life left I felt most alive. Now I live for today just trying to survive.

The tinted lights on the street shine. The midnight glow, we're present in the moment, and the day is still dark. The sky begins to open but the ground stay dry and I don't really wanna try.

When I had no life left I felt most alive. Now I live for today just trying to survive.
When I had no life left I felt most alive. Now I live for today just trying to survive.
And when you have no life left don't walk away. Don't go to those dark days.





Overall Meaning

The song "Day after day" by The Glue is a reflective piece that explores the emotional turmoil and sense of spiritual emptiness that the singer experiences. In the first verse, the singer describes a time in their life where they had lost everything and hit rock bottom. Despite this, they felt fully alive and present in the moment. However, the chorus shifts the focus to the present day, where the singer feels stuck in a cycle of just trying to survive, instead of truly experiencing life.


The second verse sets the scene for the listener, describing the quiet, midnight atmosphere of the city. The sky is beginning to lighten, but the ground remains dry, reflecting the singer's emotional state of being stuck in a moment of darkness. The final line, "I don't really wanna try," reveals the singer's reluctance to move forward and actively engage in life due to this feeling of being stuck.


The bridge of the song introduces a message of hope, as the singer urges listeners to not walk away or give up during their own dark moments. It's a moment of connection and understanding that speaks to the universality of feeling lost or hopeless.


Overall, "Day after day" is a vivid and introspective take on the human experience of being lost and trying to find one's way back to living a fuller, more present life.

Line by Line Meaning

When I had no life left I felt most alive.
I was living recklessly and without direction, but that made me feel alive.


Now I live for today just trying to survive.
I have learned the value of each day and simply focus on making it through.


The tinted lights on the street shine.
The artificial lights on the city streets create an almost surreal atmosphere.


The midnight glow, we're present in the moment, and the day is still dark.
We are caught up in the moment, even though it's late at night and the world around us is sleeping.


The sky begins to open but the ground stays dry and I don't really wanna try.
Although there appears to be some hope on the horizon, I am feeling defeated and unmotivated.


And when you have no life left don't walk away.
If you feel like giving up on life, don't just walk away from it all.


Don't go to those dark days.
Don't let yourself slip into a depression or make decisions out of despair.
