Another Day
Embracing Change: The Unspoken Desires in 'Another Day' by The Zombies
Lyrics
Another day nothing has changed
Expressing a sense of monotony and lack of change in the narrator's life.
Look from my window what do I see
Observing the surroundings from the narrator's window.
Just a shadow over me
Feeling overshadowed or burdened by something.
I don’t want to waste my time
Expressing a desire not to waste time.
Watching every crime
Being vigilant and observant of wrongdoing or negative events.
Why don’t you do the things you say
Questioning someone's actions and encouraging them to follow through on their promises.
Instead of promises (that break my heart)
Expressing disappointment in broken promises.
Instead of your excess (tears me apart)
Feeling hurt by someone's excessive behavior.
Why don’t you ever think about
Questioning someone's lack of consideration for the consequences of their actions.
The love you throw away
Highlighting the disregard for love and emotional connection.
It’s just another day
Reiterating the theme of facing another unremarkable day.
Another day to celebrate
Sarcastically suggesting a day to celebrate, despite underlying issues.
You got your reasons i cannot see
Acknowledging that there are reasons for certain actions that are not apparent to the narrator.
For the shadow over me
Continuing to feel overshadowed or burdened.
I don’t want to waste my time
Reiterating the desire not to waste time, now focusing on resolving problems.
Fixing every crime
Expressing a need to address and fix various issues or crimes.
Why don’t you do the things you say
Repeating the frustration with unfulfilled promises.
You give me promises (that break my heart)
Emphasizing the emotional impact of broken promises.
You give me your excess (tears me apart)
Highlighting the emotional toll of someone's excessive behavior.
The very words you throw to me
Pointing out the impact of hurtful words on the narrator.
You take my breath away
Expressing a profound emotional effect on the narrator.
It’s just another day
Reiterating the theme of facing just another ordinary day.
I don’t want to waste my time
Continuing the frustration with observing negative events.
Watching every crime
Reiterating the vigilance in watching wrongdoing or crimes.
Why don’t you do the things you say
Repeating the desire for someone to fulfill their promises.
Instead of promises (that break my heart)
Expressing disappointment in broken promises, echoing earlier sentiments.
Instead of your excess (tears me apart)
Reiterating the emotional toll of excessive behavior.
Why don’t you ever think about
Questioning someone's lack of consideration for love and emotional connections.
The love you throw away into another day
Highlighting the disregard for love, extending into another day.
It’s just another day
Emphasizing the repetitiveness of facing just another day.
Just another day
Reiterating the mundane nature of just another day.
