Cover art for Twenty Four Hours lyrics by Athlete

"This is more than daily bread" I thought it was "baited breath"...?

Anyway, since I always look for depressing undertones, I think this is about cherishing one's last moments with someone who is dying. That's just me...

I guess you're quite right here. When I first listened to the song I was thinking of my father who's quite old compared to other boys' fathers. I was kind of feeling like it's the song for our last moments together. Something like sitting in a hospital at his bed and knowing it will all end soon, but telling him that we still have twentyfour hours.

The first two verses could be counted as evidences for my thesis. "People rushing left to right There's pretty faces left to right I'm just frozen staring into space" - rings a bell, could be the hospital...
