These Days
Useless Youth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I ended in the same place
Everything is turning gray
And again I get stuck staring at your face
And I forget who I am and what am I up to
And I can't look at my back because you are here too
And it seems like you're just mad at me again
I won't do anything
I'll just enjoy these days
You know we used to meet in this place before
Now I know you can bring me down, I'm sure
Who could really know if I can feel the same if I go home?
I don't know
I heard that someone was knocking at my door
And I can't hide away no more.
I know it's hard to say, but there must be a way.
I will take off my feelings
And enjoy these days.
I'll enjoy this days
The lyrics of "These Days" by Useless Youth capture a sense of stagnation and aimlessness, with the singer struggling to break free of the same old routine and finding themselves drawn back to a relationship that may be toxic or unfulfilling. The repeated motif of "staring at your face" suggests a sense of being stuck in one place or fixated on a particular person or situation, even if it isn't healthy for them. The lines "I forget who I am and what am I up to" and "Who could really know if I can feel the same if I go home?" hint at a larger identity crisis, where the singer is struggling to define themselves and their place in the world.
The chorus of the song, however, takes a more resigned tone. The singer acknowledges that things may not be ideal, but they're not going to try to change anything. They'll just "enjoy these days" and indulge in a sense of apathy or complacency. The bridge, with its repetition of "I know it's hard to say, but there must be a way," hints at a glimmer of hope or a desire for change, but the song ultimately ends on the same note: "I'll enjoy these days."
Line by Line Meaning
I tried to make it out once again
I attempted to escape my current situation once more
And I ended in the same place
But I was unsuccessful and remain stuck in the same position
Everything is turning gray
My surroundings are becoming dull and uninspiring
And again I get stuck staring at your face
And once more, I am trapped gazing at your features
And I forget who I am and what am I up to
In your presence, I lose my sense of self and purpose
And I can't look at my back because you are here too
I cannot trust what is behind me with you close by
I'm getting closer enough and I see your face
As I draw nearer to you, I glimpse your countenance
And it seems like you're just mad at me again
It appears as though you harbor animosity towards me once more
I won't do anything
Despite this, I will refrain from taking any action
I'll just enjoy these days
Instead, I will savor the present moment and make the most of it
You know we used to meet in this place before
Recalling past memories, we have frequented this location in the past
Now I know you can bring me down, I'm sure
However, I am now aware that you have the ability to negatively impact my well-being
Who could really know if I can feel the same if I go home?
It is uncertain whether my emotional state will remain constant when I return home
I don't know
I am unsure of what the future holds or how I will feel
I heard that someone was knocking at my door
I perceived the sound of someone rapping on my door
And I can't hide away no more.
I can no longer sequester myself away from the world
I know it's hard to say, but there must be a way.
Although it may be difficult to articulate, there has to be a solution to my problems
I will take off my feelings
I will detach myself from my emotions
And enjoy these days.
And appreciate the present moment.
