The Day Has Come
Breaking Chains: A Struggle for Purpose and Love
Lyrics
Don´t judge me, baby,
Expressing a plea not to judge the speaker.
don´t put the blame on me.
Requesting not to attribute blame to the speaker.
I couldn´t stand no more.
Conveying that the speaker reached a point of emotional endurance.
I couldn´t stand it no more.
Reiterating the difficulty endured, emphasizing the intensity of the situation.
Someone had to tell them no
Stating that someone needed to assertively refuse or oppose something.
and the day has come.
Announcing the arrival of a significant day marked by change or action.
Someone had to cut them down
Asserting that someone had to bring an end to a situation or group.
and the day is here.
Highlighting the current day as the one when decisive action is taken.
I gotta work 24-7,
Describing the speaker's need to work continuously.
night and day, to pay the rent,
Indicating the constant effort required to meet financial obligations.
but ain´t got no car, ain´t got no home,
Listing possessions the speaker lacks despite hard work.
tell me, what am I working for?
Posing a question about the purpose or meaning of the speaker's efforts.
What am I working for?
Repeating the question, emphasizing the uncertainty of the speaker's motivation.
What am I working for?
Reiterating the absence of a clear purpose in the speaker's endeavors.
Ain´t got no time,
Expressing a lack of available time for love or personal relationships.
no time to love,
Repeating the absence of time, emphasizing a sacrifice for work.
tell me, what am I working for?
Posing the central question again, emphasizing the search for purpose in work.
