Better Day
Embracing Tomorrow's Melodies: Ocean Colour Scene's Sonic Tale
Lyrics
Sonny signed his name up for tomorrow and laughed with all his friends
Sonny eagerly committed to the future, sharing joy with friends.
At all the little men who borrows tunes they heard just yesterday
Reflecting on those who imitate tunes heard recently.
Davey got us down but we got away and drank to all the days
Davey brought them down, but they escaped, celebrating past days.
That we had whiled away just playing Robin Hood a little out of phase
Recalling days spent playing Robin Hood, slightly unconventional.
And then the nightmares come and you get blown away
Nightmares disrupt, causing a sense of being blown away.
And up in your room, your walls are cold
In a cold room, facing internal struggles.
You find your head is holding out for the welcome of a better day
Longing for a better day, seeking relief from current hardships.
And then the nightmares come and you get blown away
Reiteration of nightmares and feeling overwhelmed.
And up in your room, your walls are getting colder
Room getting colder, akin to a turbulent roller coaster ride.
Like you're getting on a roller coaster, you can't find the breaks
Struggling, unable to find a way to stop the challenges.
Stevie burned the sky when he flew away and left us things to say
Stevie left a lasting impact, leaving them with words unspoken.
When all the world was falling down around our shoulders, cold and gray
Describing a time when the world seemed to collapse, cold and dreary.
Harry carried on in his usual way and Minnie went inside
Harry persisted in his usual manner, while Minnie's actions had an emotional impact.
And came out once and we both cried and Minnie blew my head away
Minnie's brief appearance led to shared tears, leaving a lasting impression.
When you're giving everything away, everybody lets you pay
Commenting on the cost of generosity, a reflection on sacrifices.
You're saving up for a better day, seeing things in a better way
Hope for a brighter future, saving for a better day and perspective.
When you know you've got to live, there's nothing you won't give
Emphasizing the willingness to give everything for a fulfilling life.
To hear the phone and not let it ring every Monday morning
The anticipation and anxiety associated with Monday mornings.
Shughie found love and he almost cried, we laughed and wondered why
Shughie's experience of love nearly bringing tears, pondering life's mysteries.
We love the sky and found the space and gazed out over Stevie's plane
Appreciating the sky and space, reflecting on Stevie's departure.
