On a Bad Day
Embracing Pain: Weathering Storms of Emotion
Lyrics
Every time my tears
Expression of tears being a recurring occurrence
Have ever fallen
Reflection on past instances of tears
I keep 'em in my pocket
Metaphorically keeping tears stored away
For a rainy day
Reserving tears for a future difficult time
So when it's pouring
Metaphor for a challenging period
I take them outside
Taking tears out during a difficult time
I let the rain start washing
Using rain to cleanse and alleviate emotional pain
My tears away
Metaphor for emotional healing through external forces
But on a bad day
Acknowledging challenges on a particularly tough day
When hearts are breaking
Reference to heartbreak and emotional pain
There's not enough rain to carry
Expressing that even rain might not be enough to soothe all the tears
All the tears away
Highlighting the intensity of emotional distress
Every time I'm blue
Addressing moments of sadness or melancholy
I take my feeling
Taking hold of emotions during difficult times
I hold it tighter
Symbolic gesture of not letting go of emotional burdens
And I don't let go
Enduring emotional challenges
And when the sky gets whiter
Describing a change in weather and emotional state
And the air is colder
Connecting emotions to the external environment
I throw my feeling
Releasing emotions into the falling snow
To the falling snow
Symbolizing a form of emotional catharsis
But on a bad day
Reiteration of challenges on a tough day
When hearts are breaking
Reiterating the theme of heartbreak and its impact
There's not enough snow to carry
Expressing that even snow may not alleviate all sorrows
All the blues away
Stressing the depth of emotional struggles
Every time my heart
Highlighting the emotional impact on the heart
My heart starts breaking
Acknowledging the onset of heartbreak
I take this pain
Taking hold of emotional pain
And I hold it down
Symbolic gesture of enduring emotional distress
And I wait for the wailing
Anticipating the expression of pain and sorrow
When the wind is comin'
Metaphor for the arrival of emotional turbulence
And my pain is blowin'
Emphasizing the pervasive nature of emotional pain
Through another town
Depicting the emotional impact on different places
But on a bad day
Reiteration of challenges during heartbreak
When hearts are breaking
Emphasizing the profound effect of heartbreak
There's not enough wind to carry
Suggesting that even wind may not carry away all the pain
All the pain away
Stressing the enduring nature of emotional distress
Every time my tears
Recalling past instances of tears
Have ever falling
Metaphorically storing tears for future difficult times
I keep 'em in my pocket
Reiteration of reserving tears for challenging days
For a rainy day
Symbolic gesture of emotional preparedness for adversity
