Every Day
Embracing Shadows: The Daily Struggle and Liberation in 'Every Day'
Lyrics
When I need to sleep it never comes
Struggling to fall asleep despite the need for rest.
I'm fighting off my demons one by one
Confronting personal struggles or inner conflicts gradually.
I could never shake what's haunting me
Unable to escape from persistent haunting thoughts or memories.
So I'm only as good as I can be
Feeling limited by one's circumstances or emotional state.
I don't I don't I don't
Expressing disbelief or uncertainty, acknowledging personal perceptions.
I don't I don't I don't
-Really believe
-I see what I see
-Good news I'm learning how to die
Acceptance of mortality and learning to come to terms with it.
Nothing matters but that's the part I like
Embracing the insignificance of life's matters, finding freedom in it.
March on like clockwork until the end
Continuing forward in a routine manner until the inevitable end.
I can see the shadow catching up again
Sensing the return of a looming darkness or negative influence.
I don't I don't I don't
Uncertainty about the boundaries or distinctions between oneself and another.
I don't I don't I don't
-Know where you end
-And where I begin
-I am your light but I am your weight
Being both a source of support and burden for someone else, feeling fragmented or damaged yet trying to mend.
I'm the animal who won't stop barking in your cage
-I am your light but I am your weight
-I'm the broken mirror you glue back together
-Put me on your table here's the knife
Offering oneself for another's benefit, being willing to endure pain for someone else's gain.
Cut me up I'm your sacrifice
-Do you see yourself inside of me
-I can be the exit sign you need
-I don't I don't I don't
Reiteration of disbelief or uncertainty regarding beliefs and perceptions.
I don't I don't I don't
-Really believe
-I can see what you see
-I am your light but I am your weight
Reiterating the contradictory nature of being both helpful and burdensome, broken yet attempting to repair oneself repeatedly.
I'm the animal who won't stop barking in your cage
-I am your light but I am your weight
-I'm the broken mirror you glue back together every day
