day before
Viper Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have you ever said the truth
In all these years that I trusted in you
Have you ever shown your face
When I was tryng to get safe
A day before you hide your hands
You wanted more
I took your mask I took your plans
You got nothing left to say

Now you're gone and I've found my way
I can live without your lies
I'm not afraid I won't waste my time
All the money I've ever seen
Ended up being far from me

If you'd ever said the truth
In all these years I'd trust in you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Viper's song "Day Before" express a sense of betrayal and mistrust in a relationship that was once held with high regard. The opening line, "Have you ever said the truth," sets the tone for the rest of the song as the singer questions the authenticity of the relationship. The line "In all these years that I trusted in you" suggests that the relationship had been going on for quite some time, however, the singer had become aware that the other person had not been truthful.

The following lines, "Have you ever shown your face/When I was trying to get safe," can be interpreted as the singer feeling vulnerable and needing support from their partner, however, feeling like their partner was not there for them. The line "A day before you hide your hands/You wanted more" can be interpreted as the other person being deceitful and manipulative. The singer took action and "took your mask" and "took your plans," revealing that they had discovered the truth about the other person. The line "You got nothing left to say/Now you're gone and I've found my way" suggests that the singer has moved on from the relationship and is no longer dependent on the other person.

The final lines of the song, "All the money I've ever seen/Ended up being far from me/If you'd ever said the truth/In all these years I'd trust in you" can be interpreted as the singer regretting the time they had invested in the relationship and the fact that it had cost them emotionally and financially. The song overall conveys a sense of disappointment, mistrust, and the journey to self-discovery after a toxic relationship has ended.
