Just Another Day to Live
Vanilla Ninja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deception in your eyes
Your smile seems to be
Like violence in disguise
Yesterday your vibes
Were so close to mine
But our love is slowly
Just another day to live
Just another night to die
'Cause we all know that praying
Means saying goodbye
Baby you and I
Were murdered by a lie
And when nightmares keep yelling
They're telling you why
Love must die
Maybe I was dumb
Maybe I was blind
But now suspicion
Is creeping through my mind
I kept trusting you
But I can't deny
That pain called love
Is just about to die
Just another day to live ...
Yesterday your vibes
Were so close to mine
But our love is slowly
Just running out of time
Just another day to live ...
The lyrics to Vanilla Ninja's song "Just Another Day to Live" convey the pain and confusion of a failing relationship. The opening lines depict a sense of deception and hidden emotions, with "shadows in your heart" and "deception in your eyes." The following line, "your smile seems to be like violence in disguise," suggests a facade of happiness or contentment that is masking something more sinister.
The chorus speaks to the inevitability of the relationship's demise, with the lines "just another day to live, just another night to die" suggesting a sense of hopelessness or resignation. The repeated refrain that "praying means saying goodbye" implies that even with all the effort put into trying to save the relationship, it may still be doomed to fail.
The final verse begins with the singer acknowledging the possibility that they were naive or foolish to trust their partner, but now "suspicion is creeping through my mind." The line "that pain called love is just about to die" highlights the disillusionment and heartbreak that comes with the end of a relationship.
Overall, "Just Another Day to Live" is a powerful depiction of the pain and confusion that comes with the end of a relationship. It captures both the desperation to salvage what's left and the eventual acceptance of the inevitable.
