What Day is it Today
Contemplating Life's Monotony: "What Day is it Today" by Kaitee Page
Lyrics
Everybody outside
Expressing a collective presence; everyone is outdoors.
Looking for a fight
Suggesting a confrontational atmosphere; people seeking conflict.
Cause hey
Prompting a reflective question about the current day.
What day is it today?
Reiterating the question, emphasizing the uncertainty of the day.
While they burn down the town
While chaos ensues, the speaker remains detached, possibly indifferent.
I'll be sleeping around
Suggesting a nonchalant attitude; the speaker engaging in casual activities.
Cause hey
Repeating the question, highlighting a sense of disconnection.
What day is it today?
Continuing the theme of uncertainty about the current day.
The illusion of control
Reflection on the deceptive nature of control and its impact on the soul.
Should satisfy my soul
The belief that control should bring contentment, yet there is doubt.
But I'm not sold
Expressing skepticism or hesitation about the effectiveness of control.
I'm just getting old
Acknowledging the aging process, perhaps associated with loss of certainty.
Hey
Repeating the question, emphasizing a recurring theme.
What day is it today?
Reiterating a sense of monotony or lack of distinction in the days.
Everything's the same
Raising a question about the permanence of things; lack of change.
Does anything ever really change?
Questioning the possibility of genuine change in the world.
We live inside our phones
Highlighting the pervasive influence of technology on modern life.
And we're still all alone
Despite connectivity, a sense of isolation persists.
Hey
Returning to the theme of the day, suggesting a lack of significance.
I think I'll start smoking
Contemplating a decision to start smoking, possibly as a coping mechanism.
No I'm not joking
Asserting the seriousness of the contemplation, dispelling potential disbelief.
Why not?
Posing a rhetorical question, implying a "why not" attitude towards smoking.
Cause hey
Repeating the question about the day, emphasizing its importance or insignificance.
People crying, people dying
Observing distressing events, and the speaker withdrawing from effort.
And I've stopped trying
Expressing a sense of resignation or giving up in the face of challenges.
Hey
Characterizing life as a game, perhaps implying a lack of true consequences.
It's just a game
Asserting a commonality among people, possibly emphasizing shared struggles.
We are all the same
Reiterating a sense of shared experience and identity.
Hey
Returning to the theme of people being unconventional or unfamiliar.
People are strange...
Concluding with an observation about the peculiarity of human behavior.
