these days
Wet (Pop) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been falling down, falling behind
These days I can't take so much
I've been falling down, falling behind
And I know what it takes
And I think we can make it
Through everything
Oh, I am away from you
Today I am away from you
Today time passed strangely
Today you don't know me, you said
Today I scare so easily
These days I can't take too much
I've been falling down, falling behind
And I know what it takes
And I think we can make it
Through everything
You are all I knew
And I have your heart
I love you more
And I take a stand
And I have your hand
And I know what it takes
And I know we can make it
Through everything
You are all I need
Oh, I am away from you
Today I am away from you
Today I passed strangely
Today you don't know me, you said
Today I scare so easily
Today I am away from you
Today I passed strangely
Today you don't know
me, you said
Today I scare so easily
In "These Days," Wet (Pop) sings about the struggle of falling behind and feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges. The repetitive use of the lines "These days I can't take too much, I've been falling down, falling behind" emphasizes the singer's feelings of hopelessness and inability to keep up. However, the singer has someone who they believe can help them through it all, saying "And I know what it takes, and I think we can make it, through everything. You are all I need." Despite being away from this person, the singer still feels connected to them, but there is a sense of distance in their relationship as well. The line "Today you don't know me, you said, today I scare so easily" suggests that there may be a lack of understanding or communication between them, which only adds to the singer's insecurity and fear.
The mood of the song is conveyed through both the lyrics and the music. The slow tempo and soft instrumentation create a somber tone that perfectly matches the melancholic lyrics. Wet (Pop)'s tender delivery also adds to the song's emotional impact. Overall, "These Days" is a poignant and relatable depiction of the difficulties of navigating life's challenges.
