Yellow Claw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Were supposed to stay the night but
Changed their mind and called their mommy
You are not me, I am dirty
You make me feel like all those kids that
Were supposed to stay the night but
Changed their mind and called their mommy
You are not me
Remember that day, we met for coffee and you were late
Yeah, we chatted 'bout you and you mostly but a bit about me
And then we went back to yours and I never been there before
On the blue line subway
Yeah, I think it was raining, yeah, you made me a painting
Sing a song about dolphins, young love, was calling
It was a good day
Oh, what a good day
But it is long gone now
When all the stars fell down
It was a good day
Oh, what a good day
That day you broke my heart
I loved you way too hard
Now I'm free
Remember so well, that time when I found a dog
I thought you'd be cool, not cool at all when you opened the door (come on)
You said I was your soulmate and I was there on my way
On the blue line subway
And I think it was snowing 'cause the city was glowing
Yeah, I started to notice, young love, was broken
It was a good day
Oh, what a good day
But it is long gone now
When all the stars fell down
It was a good day
Oh, what a good day
That day you broke my heart
I loved you way too hard
Now I'm free
Free, free, free falling
The song “Good Day,” by Yellow Claw and DJ Snake, is a slow-paced track filled with melancholic melodies, electronic beats, and a pronounced usage of synthesizers that gives the song a unique flavor. The lyrics reveal a story of heartbreak caused by the end of a relationship that was once “a good day” but now is only a reminder of a love that has ended. The chorus repeats the phrase “It was a good day, oh, what a good day, but it is long gone now, when all the stars fell down” to emphasize the sadness that comes with reliving the memories of that relationship.
The verses provide an honest and raw look into the singer’s past and how that person has impacted their life positively and negatively. It seems like the singer had a genuine connection with their lover, as shown by the line, “You said I was your soulmate, and I was there on my way.” However, the relationship ended with heartbreak because of the intensity of the love, which they describe as “I loved you way too hard.” The singer is now free from that relationship and can finally feel as though they have moved on.

You make me feel like all those kids that
You make me feel like I'm immature and indecisive
Were supposed to stay the night but
Were supposed to have a plan, but it didn't work out
Changed their mind and called their mommy
Changed their mind and looked for comfort from their guardian
You are not me, I am dirty
You do not understand me, and I am complicated
Remember that day, we met for coffee and you were late
Recall the day when we met up for coffee. You arrived late.
Yeah, we chatted 'bout you and you mostly but a bit about me
Yeah, we talked about you mostly, but we discussed a little about me
And then we went back to yours and I never been there before
Afterward, we went to your place, which was a new experience for me
On the blue line subway
We traveled on the subway line called the blue line
Yeah, I think it was raining, yeah, you made me a painting
I believe it was raining, and you gave me a painting
Sing a song about dolphins, young love, was calling
We listened to a song about dolphins and young love, which led to our connection
It was a good day
The day was a positive experience
Oh, what a good day
Expressing how great the day was
But it is long gone now
That day is now a distant memory
When all the stars fell down
When everything went wrong
That day you broke my heart
That day, you hurt me emotionally
I loved you way too hard
My feelings for you were too strong
Now I'm free
I am now free and unattached
Remember so well, that time when I found a dog
I recall the time when I found a dog
I thought you'd be cool, not cool at all when you opened the door (come on)
I expected you to be friendly, but you weren't very welcoming
You said I was your soulmate and I was there on my way
You claimed I was your soulmate and I believed it
And I think it was snowing 'cause the city was glowing
I think it was snowing because the city looks illuminated
Yeah, I started to notice, young love, was broken
I came to realize that our young love was ending
Free, free, free falling
I am now unrestricted and able to move on

Мне было тогда лет 14-15 я был счастлив не каких забот проблем любви это были лучшие моменты скажем так и каждый раз когда я хочу попасть в те хорошие дни я включаю этот трек и словно в машине времени переношусь в 2017. Блин это не описать. Я на 100% уверен что тот кто заходит слушать этот шедевр тоже были прекрасные дни в то время. Да трек недооценён но это не имеет не малейшего значения для меня.)
@nickjonas1484
У меня тоже ностальгия)) И пусть в 2017 году я много проболел (особенно летом), это было действительно легкое и незабываемое время! Мне тогда было 14) Помню, как по Европе плюс крутили сутки напролет этот трек, очень нравился))
@REFLECTORR29
@Nick Jonas Ваши комменты оставлены пару дней назад... До сих пор много кто слушает этот шедевр)))

+++. В первый раз услышал эту песню в 2017, когда с папой ездили на Витязево. А там, идя до моря, эту песню прогоняли каждый день и днем и вечером, так мне эта песня и вошла в голову. Действительно, было самое беззаботное время, мне было всего лишь 13
