Morning sunshine
Come light my life like you said you can
With the windows open,
All the spirits fly away
Pull the wings off
Off a bird who cannot fly
And I'll make you feel the pain
Of where she lies
'Cause this is a new day
For broken hands and breaking backs
This is a new day
For lovers' hands and fighting hands
To finally be set free
From tragedy
Morning sunshine
Come light my life like you said you can
And I'll give you all the time that we need now
To figure out where we can go just to be alone
And I'll watch you wash your body clean
Of all the things you wish you'd never seen
'Cause this is a new day
For broken hands and breaking backs
This is a new day
For lovers' hands and fighting hands
This is a new day
For broken hands and breaking backs
This is a new day
For lovers' hands and fighting hands
To finally be set free
I cast these stones upon my broken hands
I cast these stones upon my back
I cast these stones upon my soul
My ghost will carry me home
Carry me into a brand new day
'Cause this is a new day
For broken hands and breaking backs
This is a new day
For lovers' hands and fighting hands
This is a new day
For broken hands and breaking backs
This is a new day
For lovers' hands and fighting hands
To finally be set free
From tragedy
Come light my life like you said you can
With the windows open,
All the spirits fly away
Pull the wings off
Off a bird who cannot fly
And I'll make you feel the pain
Of where she lies
For broken hands and breaking backs
This is a new day
For lovers' hands and fighting hands
To finally be set free
From tragedy
Come light my life like you said you can
And I'll give you all the time that we need now
To figure out where we can go just to be alone
And I'll watch you wash your body clean
Of all the things you wish you'd never seen
For broken hands and breaking backs
This is a new day
For lovers' hands and fighting hands
This is a new day
For broken hands and breaking backs
This is a new day
For lovers' hands and fighting hands
I cast these stones upon my back
I cast these stones upon my soul
My ghost will carry me home
Carry me into a brand new day
For broken hands and breaking backs
This is a new day
For lovers' hands and fighting hands
This is a new day
For broken hands and breaking backs
This is a new day
For lovers' hands and fighting hands
To finally be set free
From tragedy

To me, this song is all about resilience. Getting up when life knocks you down. It's about the great feeling you get when you recover from hardship without help. It's about remembering that you can conquer difficult times with a little perseverence. Anyway, Melee rocks, and it's a shame that they have to be stuck on Hopeless Records, who really do appear hopeless sometimes. This is one of my favorite Melee songs, very good for getting out a of a sullen mood!
I don't have much to add other than this is a really good song.
