DAY BY DAY
Useless ID Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To spend some time on writing songs with stupid meanings
I can't find a way to make some sense
My mind is such a mess, my girlfriend says I really suck
And that my thoughts I can't express
Another sunny day, still I can't find a way
How to describe just what I feel
If there's a better way for me to sing and play
It must be silence, I'm so poor
But there's one thing I know for sure
Can't be wrong
Can't belong to what I thought that I once were
Can't be right
Cannot fight for something that's not worth it
Who's to blame
What a shame I don't really care at all
Another rainy day, I can't find a better way
To give a meaning to it all
I guess my luck is very small
When I woke up today, drunk from yesterday
I know tomorrow will be the same
It's only me I have to blame
The lyrics of Useless ID's song "Day by Day" convey a sense of disillusionment and frustration experienced by the songwriter. The opening stanza sets the tone for the rest of the song with the depiction of the day as endless and unfulfilling. The first-person narrative laments his inability to write songs with purpose and conveys the sense that his thoughts are disorganized and incoherent. The songwriter's girlfriend adds insult to injury by telling him that he sucks, and he is unable to express himself effectively. The chorus is a desperate cry for meaning and direction, as the songwriter realizes that he is adrift and unable to find his place in the world.
The second stanza opens with the same lack of purpose and emotion, as the songwriter fails to describe his feelings coherently. He suggests that "silence" may be the only option for him, that he may be "too poor" in his musical ability to express himself. However, the chorus repeats the same themes of hopelessness and resignation. The final verse, set on a rainy day, further emphasizes the writer's inability to grapple with meaning in his life. He wakes up feeling hungover and hopeless, with no sense of purpose or direction. In the end, he accepts responsibility for his own sense of failure, acknowledging that it is "only me I have to blame."
The lyrics of "Day by Day" communicate a universal feeling of frustration and disillusionment with life, particularly with respect to artistic expression, as the songwriter struggles to find meaning and direction in his work. The song deals with themes of self-doubt, insecurity, and the struggle to find a sense of purpose in the face of meaninglessness.
Line by Line Meaning
Another endless day, I couldn't find a way
I cannot escape the monotony of my life and struggle to find inspiration
To spend some time on writing songs with stupid meanings
I cannot find motivation to create art that I do not believe in
I can't find a way to make some sense
The chaos in my mind is preventing me from creating something coherent
My mind is such a mess, my girlfriend says I really suck
My mental state is affecting my relationships and artistic ability, and I am receiving criticism about it
And that my thoughts I can't express
I am struggling to articulate my feelings and thoughts in a constructive way
Another sunny day, still I can't find a way
Even though the environment is positive, I cannot find the energy or inspiration to create
How to describe just what I feel
I am struggling to put my emotions into words
Maybe my brain is holding still
Perhaps my mind is stagnant and preventing me from being creative
If there's a better way for me to sing and play
I am open to trying new methods for creating music
It must be silence, I'm so poor
Perhaps the best thing for me to do is not to create at all and instead embrace silence
But there's one thing I know for sure
Despite my struggles, there is one thing I am certain of
Can't be wrong
I know I am doing what I think is right, even if it is not successful
Can't belong to what I thought that I once were
I cannot return to who I was before, and must accept who I am now
Can't be right
I acknowledge that I am not correct in everything I do or create
Cannot fight for something that's not worth it
I cannot waste my energy on something that is not meaningful or fulfilling to me
Who's to blame
I am unsure of who or what is responsible for my struggles in creating art
What a shame I don't really care at all
I am disappointed in myself for not caring more about my creative pursuits, but also feel helpless to change it
Another rainy day, I can't find a better way
Even though the environment is dreary, I still cannot find inspiration
To give a meaning to it all
I cannot find a greater significance or purpose to my life or art
I guess my luck is very small
I feel unlucky or unfortunate in my circumstances
When I woke up today, drunk from yesterday
My unhealthy coping mechanisms may be contributing to my inability to create
I know tomorrow will be the same
I feel trapped in this cycle and do not see a way out
It's only me I have to blame
I hold myself responsible for my lack of progress and inability to create meaningful art
