Just Like Yesterday
Tyler Joseph Lyrics

Your scared, when you say,
You are scared to admit the truth when asked about your current situation.

You talked to them today,
You have spoken to someone recently about your feelings and struggles.

When asked your fate,
When asked about what will happen to you, you become emotional.

You'll cry, no sound
You will cry silently to avoid drawing attention to yourself.

Wipe the tears with your doubts,
You try to conceal your emotions and doubts by wiping your tears.

And die again,
You feel crushed and defeated by your circumstances and emotions.

Cause I can't sleep,
The singer can't sleep due to his own struggles.

It's just taking time off of my feet,
Unable to rest due to thoughts that run through the mind.

But my head instead is
The singer's mind is racing with thoughts.

Going a hundered miles a beat
This usually means being very active or engaged in one's pursuits.

And I'm thinking as I'm sinking
The singer is spiraling downward and contemplating the situation.

And he's winking at me
The singer feels taunted by his circumstances.

'Cause they know the desperation and temptation is free
The people who cause the pain and stress are aware of how overwhelming this can be.

Do you see
Do you understand what I mean?

I can't live tis way just to write a song to play
Trying to cope with the pain by channeling it into art is not enough.

Just to stay alive just enough to breath away
Just trying to barely survive is slowly killing them.

Another day another face and I will lose another race
Each day feels like a battle they will lose.

Save me now 'cause tomorrow's gone
Please help me now, before it's too late.

They laugh, in your face
Others mock you for your struggles.

'Cause they took your grace,
They have taken away your sense of worth and dignity.

But did you give it away
Perhaps you have contributed to your own pain and suffering.

They cry no sound
Others also hide their pain and suffering.

On the eve of a day thats forgotten and fake
The day before a meaningful event that has become commercialized and meaningless.

As the trees, they await
Nature is patiently waiting for change.

And the clouds anticipate
The clouds in the sky are waiting for something that is beyond human control.

the start of a day when we put on our face,
A new day arrives and we put on a façade to hide our pain and struggles.

A mask that portrays that we don't need grace
The façade we wear implies that we can handle everything on our own and don't need help.

And the meaning and weight of the day is lost without a trace,
The true meaning of the day has been forgotten and no longer carries any significance.

On the eve of a day that is bigger than us
The day before an important event that reminds us of something greater than ourselves.

but we open our eyes only because we're told that we must
We only acknowledge the significance of the day because society tells us to.

And the trees wave their arms and the clouds try to plead
Nature is trying to communicate with us, but we are not listening.

Desperatly yelling out to something else in this that we need
We are searching for something to give our lives meaning and purpose.

It happens to be free
We may never find what we're looking for, but sometimes the answer is found in unconstrained thought.

I won't be afraid
The singer has found strength in the face of his struggles.

He is strong
Referring to a higher power or something else that gives them strength.

And I'll live another day
I will continue to push through my struggles and live my life.

I'll live
I will survive.
