Just Another Day
Vallejo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tried to wash my face
But i couldn't find my head
Yesterday, i lost my complexion
Looking in the mirror at a similar reflection
Pressure's on, the rhythm has begun
I'm cutting against the grain
And my sanity is gone
I tell myself there is always tomorrow
'Cause it's just another day
Ah get up! Hey!
Can't rush a good my only friend
I love you till the end
There's nothing we can do
But let the future begin
All these things they happen for a reason
My intentions are changing like seasons
Some people try to always rush things
Talk about it and won't even confront me
I'm feelin' down push it to the limit
Carrying a heavy load
will drag it if you let it pick it up
Fire up another rhythm
Fly up and get away
I'm never gonna fret it
'Cause it's just another day yeah
Fire up another rhythm
Fly up and get away
I'm never gonna fret it
'Cause it's just another day yeah
Just another day yeah
Back up from another black Sunday
Monday comes around
Gotta make it on to Tuesday
Wednesday's here
hump in on over to Thursday
Weekend's gone and i didn't even get paid
The pressure's on, the rhythm has begun
Cuttin' against the grain
and my sanity is gone
I'm in so deal me like a man
The ace is on the top
And the joker's in my hand and I'm out
Fire up another rhythm
Fly up and get away
I'm never gonna fret it
'Cause it's just another day yeah
Fire up another rhythm
Fly up and get away
I'm never gonna fret it
'Cause it's just another day
Just another day
Rock wants the rhythm
By quarter to four
Piranhas swimming in my head
I cannot open the door
I'm in the kitchen with the recipe
For lovin' the soul
But someone ripped up the page
So I go with the flow
Coming back up from another black Sunday
Monday comes around
Gotta make it on to Tuesday
Wednesday's here
Hump it on over to Thursday
Weekend's gone and I didn't even get paid
Fire up another rhythm
Fly up and get away
I'm never gonna fret it
'Cause it's just another day
Fire up another rhythm
Fly up and get away
I'm never gonna fret it
'Cause it's just another day
Fire up another rhythm
Fly up and get away
I'm never gonna fret it
'Cause it's just another day yeah
It's just another day
Just another day
Just another day
Just another day yeah
The song "Just Another Day" by Vallejo conveys the feeling of monotony and routine in everyday life through its lyrics. The singer of the song wakes up late and struggles to find their sense of purpose while the pressure of the world around them seems to be continuously building. The repetition of phrases like "fire up another rhythm" and the constant encouragement to keep moving forward through each day regardless of the challenges faced is a constant reminder that we are not alone in our struggles, and that each day is just another day to pick ourselves up and keep going.
The lyrics of the song also highlight themes of change and growth. The singer acknowledges that change is inevitable and that sometimes we may not have control over the events that shape our lives, but it is important to keep moving forward and embracing new experiences. Additionally, the song touches on the idea that we should let go of our frustrations and focus on the future, knowing that we can't always control the outcome, but we can control our own responses.
Overall, "Just Another Day" is a powerful and uplifting song that encourages listeners to keep going during difficult times and to embrace change and growth as a natural part of life.
Line by Line Meaning
Woke up late, got up outa bed
I overslept and had to rush out of bed
Tried to wash my face
I attempted to freshen up
But i couldn't find my head
I was too overwhelmed to focus
Yesterday, i lost my complexion
I felt off-kilter and out of sorts yesterday
Looking in the mirror at a similar reflection
I saw the same thing staring back at me
Pressure's on, the rhythm has begun
The stress is mounting and the day's challenges are underway
I'm cutting against the grain
I'm going against the norm
And my sanity is gone
I'm feeling overwhelmed and stressed
But just when i think my head is gonna blow
Right when I think I can't take it anymore
I tell myself there is always tomorrow
I remind myself there's another day to make it right
'Cause it's just another day
This is just a typical day, no matter how tough it gets
Can't rush a good my only friend
Don't try to hurry up something that takes time
I love you till the end
I cherish and value this thing deeply
There's nothing we can do
We're helpless in the face of certain realities
But let the future begin
But we can focus our attention on what's ahead
All these things they happen for a reason
Everything happens for a purpose or motivation
My intentions are changing like seasons
My aims are shifting with the passing of time
Some people try to always rush things
Some individuals try to force progress and don't take their time
Talk about it and won't even confront me
People gossip or complain rather than handle conflicts directly with me
I'm feelin' down push it to the limit
Even in tough times, I push myself to keep going
Carrying a heavy load will drag it if you let it pick it up
If you don't address your burdens directly, they'll weigh you down further
Fire up another rhythm
Get motivated and enthusiastic again
Fly up and get away
Move away from stressful situations
Just another day yeah
Every day is just another day, so keep pushing forward
Rock wants the rhythm
I want to get into the groove
By quarter to four
Before it's too late
Piranhas swimming in my head
I'm feeling overwhelmed with troubling thoughts
I cannot open the door
I'm struggling to overcome an obstacle
I'm in the kitchen with the recipe
I have the tools to get this done
For lovin' the soul
To improve my emotional well-being
But someone ripped up the page
My plans have been ruined or disrupted
So I go with the flow
I adjust my approach to align with changing circumstances
Back up from another black Sunday
Recovering from another tough situation
Monday comes around
The start of another week
Gotta make it on to Tuesday
Still have more days to tackle
Weekend's gone and I didn't even get paid
The weekend flew by without any time to earn a paycheck

Used to see them live in Hattiesburg Mississippi of all places They ALWAYS tore the roof off the mother! One of the best live rhythm sections you'd ever see.
