Those Days
Reflecting on Shades of Grey: Those Days by Rebelution Unveiled
Lyrics
Ever since the day I was born
Reflecting on life since birth
There were dark clouds hovering over the city where I stay
City life marked by challenges and difficulties
I don't recollect clear days, mostly the fog and the haze
Memories clouded by fog and haze
Because the city by the Bay stays grey
The city by the Bay (possibly San Francisco) is consistently gray
But that's what made it great, consistently the same
Despite challenges, the consistency of the city's atmosphere had its own greatness
Also I hated it when I wanted a change
Conflicted feelings about desiring change
But I wasn't afraid, back then I thought that I would live for days
Optimistic outlook on life in the past
A year was an eternity so yeah, I thought I had it made
Past perception of time as limitless and life as enduring
But I kept it hush, kept it hush, kept it hush
Kept personal struggles and dissatisfaction hidden
Yeah I kept it quiet and I never opened up
-Made my own philosophy, the system is corrupt
-Made my own decision that I'd had enough
-I just never found what some say I would find
Failed to discover what others promised
I was making music just so I could pass the time
Used music as an escape and time-passing activity
Stored it in my mind, pushed it to the side
Stored dissatisfaction but avoided addressing it
Realized that there was lots to criticize
-On some days, some days
Reflecting and reminiscing about the past
I think about those days, those days
-Some days, some days
-Reminisce about those days, those days
-On some days, some days
-I think about those days, those days
-Some days, some days
-Reminisce about those days, those days
-When it got to May and we all celebrate
Realization of the routine and monotony in life
First time it hit me, adding numbers to my name
-And I start to see, every day was a routine
-Get up in the morning, same thing every week
-But I didn't speak, never opened up my mouth
Silence and inner doubts, questioning the allowed expression
Pretended I was listening when I was spacing out
-Started to have doubts instead of me being devout
-I would've said it loud but I didn't think that was allowed
-But I kept it hush, kept it hush, kept it hush
Continued silence, crafting a personal philosophy of dissatisfaction
Yeah I kept it quiet and I never opened up
-Made my own philosophy, the system is corrupt
-Made my own decision that I'd had enough
-I just never found what some say I would find
-I was making music just so I could pass the time
-Stored it in my mind, pushed it to the side
-Realized that there was lots to criticize
-On some days, some days
Continued reflection and reminiscence about past days
I think about those days, those days
-Some days, some days
-Reminisce about those days, those days
-On some days, some days
-I think about those days, those days
-Some days, some days
-Reminisce about those days, those days
-On some days, some days
Final reflections on past days, nostalgia
I think about those days, those days
-Some days, some days
-Reminisce about those days, those days
-On some days, some days
-I think about those days, those days
-Some days, some days
-Reminisce about those days, those days
