WALKER/DANIELS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One two, one one, one two three four five
One two, one two
I just don't know quite what to do
Holes in pocket no money inside
Had hopes so high, but it must have fell out
Of the holes in my mind and pantry shelf
No food in the ice box? That's fine
The types that grow in the cracked concrete
Look up tips from the one percent
How to make a billi off of interest
Just skip on the cream in your five buck coffee
Right, okay, I'll give it a try
Skipping on cream ain't really that tough
So I skipped on eating and breathing and living and
Still ain't got enough by the first of the month
Knock on the door goes 1, 2, 3
Cops always knock in threes on the glass
Blast through the window, light from the flash
Wake with a start to hear them chant
Come on out now, Can't sleep here
Don't care where you do, just not near me
I'll give you to the count of 1, 2, 3
These are the days that I have left
Until apocalypse
And they keep on counting faster
These are the days that I have left
Until I'm broke
These are the days that I have left
Until apocalypse
And they keep on counting faster
These are the days that I have left
Until I'm broke
And a ten, nine, eight bucks left
Dollar for a pie slice, split it in two
The rest to the debts and IOUs
Gotta get a job? There's a hole in the resume
Where were you? I was chasing dreams
Well sorry, we don't have space on the team
C'mon cap, give me a chance
I've got two days till the power goes out
I'm four days past on the water
Spouts bone dry, lips all parched
Squat in the bins outside
Be in for work in the morning time
Name the shift and I'll make it mine
1 through 9, through 12 till 5, 8 days straight no caffeine break
Just money on the barrel and the barrel counts out
1, 2, 3 till I can breathe
Then it's 4, 5, 6 years deep in the job
Get tired get sick
Get driven insane, quit, skip town
Dream till you drown
Sounds alright
3 Years go round, money gets tight
Start counting down and the days sound like
10, 9, 10, 9, 8, 7,
7, 8, 6, 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
And a one and a one and a one and a one
These are the days that I have left
Until apocalypse
And they keep on counting faster
These are the days that I have left
Until I'm broke
These are the days that I have left
Until apocalypse
And they keep on counting faster
These are the days that I have left
Until I'm broke
Negative days until I'm spent
No clue where all the money went
Man this cost of living is killing me
Head to the hills and start a distillery
Don't got a phone 'cause the government tracks it
Not a legal home, don't pay no taxes
Don't need no money for food or wine
Cookin' up my own moonshine
These are the days that I have left
Until apocalypse
Man this cost of living's killer
These are the days that I have left
Until I'm broke
These are the days that I have left
Until apocalypse
Man this cost of living's killer
These are the days that I have left
Until I'm broke
The lyrics to WALKER/DANIELS's song "Now" touch on themes of hope, love, and self-improvement. The first two lines suggest that logical thinking may not always lead to a positive outlook, and that a foolish situation could be deadly serious. The lines "the wishing well will get you eventually" and "beware/what you are is what you're doing there" hint that taking action, even if it's difficult, is necessary for self-improvement.
The next stanza, with the lines "love is lingering with you on its mind/and it's giving you a moment so kind," defines love as a force for positivity, a balm for the soul, and a guiding force. The lyrics go on to encourage readers to have hope and believe that broken hearts can be mended, and that there is always a chance for a brighter future. The lyrics "be gone/it's all over as the sun does set once more" suggest that negative emotions and situations are temporary and will pass.
Overall, the message of the song is to stay hopeful, work on self-improvement, and believe in the transformative power of love.
Line by Line Meaning
If you think your thoughts so rationally
If you believe that your thoughts are so sensible and logical
Then you might just see it's not so funny
You might realize that the situation is not humorous or amusing
Prey tell
Please tell me
The wishing well will get you eventually
Your desires will catch up to you eventually
Beware
Be cautious
What you are is what you're doing there
Your actions define who you truly are
Love is lingering with you on it's mind
Love is thinking about you and staying close to you
And it's giving you a moment so kind
It is giving you a gentle and tender moment
Believe
Have faith
Your broken heart could heal so dramatically
Your wounded heart has the potential to heal in a significant and impressive way
And with a little luck
And with some fortunate circumstances
You could see a better way again real soon
You may discover a better path in life sooner than you think
As we stare into each other's eyes
As we gaze deeply into each other's eyes
And each year just goes so fast and goodbye
And each passing year seems to fly by and ends too quickly
Look around
Observe your surroundings
What your friends are telling you so free
Listen to what your friends are telling you so openly
Be gone
Go away
It's all over as the sun does set once more
It's finished, just like the sun sets each day
If you think that love has a chance with you
If you believe that love can happen with you
Maybe hope can shine a light so true
Perhaps hope can bring you true enlightenment
Just smile
Simply smile
You can win the victory so sweet
You can achieve a sweet and satisfying victory
And know
And understand
It's just another day for you and me
It's just another day for both of us
And tomorrow ? no more sorrow
And tomorrow, there will be no more sorrow
You can all her - if you want to
You can call her if you choose to
There's a new way ? why won't you try it
There's a different approach - why not give it a chance
Heaven sent it and you'll believe it now
It's been sent to you from the heavens, and now you can believe it
Love can save you now
Love can rescue and protect you at this moment
Love can save you now
Love can rescue and protect you at this moment
Love can save you now
Love can rescue and protect you at this moment
