Day by Day
Freedom's Struggle: Unveiling the Battle in 'Day by Day' Lyrics
Lyrics
Oh I Pray
Expressing a prayerful sentiment
Late, late at night
During the late hours of the night
That my soul
Desiring that one's soul remains genuine and untainted
Can't be bought in this life
Rejecting the idea of compromising one's integrity for material gain
Day by Day
Emphasizing the daily struggle
It gets harder and harder to play
Highlighting the increasing difficulty in navigating life
It gets harder and harder to pay
Pointing out the growing challenges in meeting obligations
When did everyone
Raising a question about the societal shift towards serving the government
Start working for the government
Observing a trend where people seem to work for the government
Oh they're companies
Noting the prevalence of corporate influence
I got to, I want to be free
Expressing a desire for personal freedom
Free me
Reiterating the need for liberation
I Pray
Repeating the prayerful sentiment
What you can't
Referring to aspects beyond the visible
What you can not see
Suggesting that some things may not be immediately apparent
Maybe you can
Possibly hinting at understanding in the presence of others
When you're with me
Implies that understanding is possible in certain situations
But if you can't
Recognizing the limitations of perception
You can't find me
Indicating difficulty in finding oneself
Fine me
Repeating the theme of searching for identity
When did everyone
Reiterating the question about working for the government
Start working for the government
Stating that companies also play a role in societal influence
They're companies
Reaffirming the corporate impact on individuals
I got to I want to be free
Expressing the strong desire for personal freedom
Free me
Reiterating the plea for liberation
I see squares wearing circles
Observing individuals conforming to societal expectations
Trying to see who to be
Describing the struggle of self-identity
They are already blinded
Noting the societal blindness to individuality
By everyday society
Attributing the blindness to the influence of everyday society
Who do you want to be
Prompting self-reflection on personal aspirations
Are you a wannabe
Questioning if one is merely imitating others
What do you wanna be
Prompting contemplation on one's desired identity
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Concluding with a repeated affirmation
