Better Days
The Letter E Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a blind man I'm in the dark. I walk with no driection.
I stumble, I fall, I trip on my own footsteps.
Intuition and hope are my eyes in the uncertainty of tomorrow.
It will be a better day.
Hope is a waking dream. I'm only half awake.
My room's a place to hide. It's not a place to sleep.
I know enough to know that I don't know much of anything
If I open my eyes I see things I don't want to see.
I stumble, I fall, I trip on my own footsteps.
Intuition and hope are my eyes in the uncertainty of tomorrow.
It will be a better day.
Hope is a waking dream. I'm only half awake.
My room's a place to hide. It's not a place to sleep.
A better day awaits for me.
If I open my eyes I see things that make me want t o fade away.
I stumble, I fall, I trip on my own footsteps.
I stumble, I fall, I trip on my own footsteps.
Hope is a waking dream. I'm only half awake.
My room's a place to hide. It's not a place to sleep.
A better day awaits for me.
The song "Better Days" by The Letter E explores the theme of uncertainty and the struggles that come with it. The singer talks about how uncertainty follows them like a shadow, making it hard for them to see clearly. They stumble and fall, but try to rely on intuition and hope to guide them through the unknown of tomorrow, hoping for a better day.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of using distractions to escape from the difficulties of reality. The singer mentions their room being a place to hide, not to sleep, suggesting that they use it as a refuge from the challenges they face. However, they know that they cannot avoid the truth forever, and must eventually confront the things they don't want to see.
