You Snooze You Lose
Seize the Dawn: Unveiling Life's Choices in 'You Snooze You Lose' by The Botanicals
Lyrics
As the sun comes up for us
Reflecting on the beginning of a new day with the sunrise.
The day ends for someone else
Highlighting that while a new day starts for some, it ends for others.
Another dawn, another yawn
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of mornings with the mention of another dawn and yawn.
Another day to make yourself
Encouraging the listener to use each day for self-improvement.
For everyone who presses snooze
Noting those who procrastinate or avoid waking up with the snooze button.
There's someone out to self improve
Contrasting snoozers with individuals actively working on self-improvement.
Time, it moves in mysterious ways
Observing the mysterious and unpredictable nature of time.
The more the nights were like heaven
Linking the quality of nights to the subsequent mornings, suggesting a balance or contrast.
The more the mornings were like hell
Describing a negative correlation between pleasant nights and challenging mornings.
The more the nights were like heaven
Repeating the idea of contrasting nights and mornings.
Under a blackened sky where stars
Setting the scene under a sky dominated by city lights, obscuring natural stars.
Are drowned out by city lights
Imagery of city lights overpowering the beauty of stars.
We're put to task, in the dark
Suggesting challenges or responsibilities faced in the dark, metaphorically or literally.
Separating days from nights
Referring to the task of distinguishing between day and night.
For everyone who ceases the day
Encouraging seizing the day and making the most of it.
Someone lets theirs go to waste
Highlighting that while some are proactive, others waste their opportunities.
Time that's passed cannot be replaced
Stressing the irreversibility of time that has passed.
The more the nights were like heaven
Reiterating the connection between favorable nights and challenging mornings.
The more the mornings were like hell
Emphasizing the recurring theme of contrasting nights and mornings.
The more the nights were like heaven
Repeating the idea of the connection between nights and mornings.
The more the mornings were like hell
Continuing to emphasize the parallel between nights and mornings.
I'm getting tired of this as well
Expressing weariness or dissatisfaction with the current situation.
After all of this time
Reflecting on the passage of time and experiences.
The more the nights were like heaven
Reiterating the connection between favorable nights and challenging mornings.
The more the mornings were like hell
Stressing the recurring theme of contrasting nights and mornings.
The more the nights were like heaven
Repeating the idea of the connection between nights and mornings.
As the sun comes up for us
Returning to the imagery of a new day starting with the sunrise.
The day ends for someone else
Reiterating that as one day begins, it concludes for others.
Another dawn, another yawn
Repeating the cycle of a new dawn accompanied by a yawn.
Another day to make yourself
Encouraging the listener to utilize another day for self-improvement.
