Another Day Lyrics

Cover art for Another Day lyrics by Paul McCartney

This song is so perfect at describing a life. A single woman loves a man who comes and goes without ever committing to her in any way. Due to this, everything else in her life kind of fades into a blur around her as she becomes worn down by the situation with the man. She's feeling like her life is just a permanent lull. Monotonous, boring, always the same, filled only with her work. Every day is "just another day" in a long series of days exactly like the one before it. I love how the lyrics focus on the tiny details of getting ready for her day. Those details are all that make up most of her life. The kind of sadness associated with this concept is expressed very well in a clever way using that kind of imagery.

I sometimes find myself relating to this song, because at times, a situation can just cast a huge shadow over everything else in life and then the days just all seem the same because the fog of it paints everything in the same boring haze.
