Lyrics
When the first light hits the morning
Beginning of the day, the start of his routine.
He rolls himself into another minute of sleep
He continues to sleep, avoiding the challenges of waking life.
When the bell cracks the silence
The sound of a bell breaks the quiet, signaling a new day.
This familiar pain comes back as the days before
Emotional pain resurfaces, a recurring experience from previous days.
He puts on his boots and his black coat
Prepares for the day, wearing familiar attire.
To walk the same old road like he always did
Walks the same path, a symbol of routine and monotony.
A rolled up smoke cold cup of coffee
Carries essentials - cigarette, cold coffee - for the day ahead.
And one last kiss for the next ten hours or so
A brief farewell kiss before a long day's separation.
Every day living a low life
Expresses the daily struggle and challenges, living a difficult life.
Just another dance to the tunes of a broken dream
Life feels like a dance, following the rhythm of shattered dreams.
Every day living a low life
Reiteration of the hardships and challenges faced daily.
Just another dance to the tunes of a broken dream
Life's journey is akin to dancing to the broken melodies of dreams.
He's got nothing in his pockets
Empty pockets symbolize financial struggles and deprivation.
All the cash he'd earned he spent
He spends all he earns, facing economic difficulties.
To buy his blue eyed darling
Purchases a ring, a gesture of love and commitment.
A shiny ring to keep her at his side
The ring is for his beloved, perhaps as a sacrifice for their relationship.
As he comes home from the coal mine
Returning from work, he discovers infidelity, causing emotional pain.
He finds her with another man inside
His partner is unfaithful, testing his resilience in the face of betrayal.
That's how life puts him to test
Life challenges him, presenting difficulties and hardships.
He turns his head and goes for the best
Chooses to move forward, seeking a better future.
Every day living a low life
Repeats the theme of a challenging, low-quality life.
Just another dance to the tunes of a broken dream
Life is portrayed as a continuous dance to the broken tunes of dreams.
Every day living a low life
Emphasizes the repetitive nature of facing difficulties daily.
Just another dance to the tunes of a broken dream
Restates the idea of enduring challenges while dancing to shattered dreams.
