Lyrics
Same thing, different day
Expressing a sense of monotony and routine in life.
Don a face, keep pace
Wearing a facade to keep up with the expected pace of life.
Same thing, different day
Reiteration of the mundane nature of daily life.
Till dusk, get your pay
Working until evening to receive compensation.
The air is hot, dry and scathing
Describing a harsh, dry, and oppressive atmosphere.
I was once hydrated and fit
Reflecting on a time when the speaker was healthy and well-hydrated.
My sprint turned to saunter
A change from a vigorous sprint to a slow, leisurely walk.
Destitute and sick of it
Feeling deprived and tired of the current situation.
Take your time, finish it
Encouraging someone to take their time and complete a task.
Seems like nothing, nothing can grow here
Expressing a sense of barrenness or unproductivity in the environment.
Step by step, move towards the ending
Making progress slowly, step by step, towards a conclusion.
Find cloud 9, ready for landing
Seeking a state of happiness or contentment (cloud 9).
Same thing, different day
Repetition of the daily grind.
Don a face, keep pace
Continuing to wear a mask to keep up with the pace of life.
Same thing, different day
Reiteration of the repetitive nature of daily existence.
Till dusk, get your pay
Working until evening to earn a living.
This wasn't supposed to happen
Expressing surprise or disappointment at an unexpected turn of events.
Magic carpet dragged from under me
Feeling like a positive situation was abruptly taken away.
Doubt set in and dug its heels in
Doubt creeping in and causing confusion.
Stuck to the ground, left wondering
Feeling stuck and uncertain about the future.
Who's to blame but myself
Taking responsibility for the situation and acknowledging self-blame.
The institution, a combination of few
Pointing to an institution or a combination of factors contributing to the issue.
One and only one, questions are many
Emphasizing the multitude of questions with no clear answers.
No oasis in sight, no vision friendly
Feeling lost without any positive outlook or vision.
Take your time, finish it
Encouraging patience in completing a task.
Seems like I'm not, I'm not alone here
Expressing a sense of shared struggle or difficulty.
Hand in hand, run with the living
Choosing to actively participate in life with others.
Just in time, simply outstanding
Arriving at a positive outcome just in time.
Take your time, finish it
Reiterating the importance of taking time to complete a task.
Seems like I fought, fought for my home here
Feeling a sense of accomplishment in fighting for one's home or place.
Drop by drop, quenching the thirst
Slowly and steadily satisfying a need or desire.
Making the best of what was the worst
Making the best of a challenging situation.
