Grey Day Lyrics

Cover art for Grey Day lyrics by Zoot Woman

When I hear this song, I think it is about accepting a half-love instead of dropping someone to pursue the real thing. The person is willing to fool himself for a mediocre outcome to stave off a bad heartbreak -- "put your smile on my face stop me wasting away". But every day is just the same old same old ("change the tune, sounds the same").

The Green Light to a Grey Day means he is giving his assent to a so-so outcome.

I'm not sure how love is a race, but maybe it is something competitive or something like he's rushing forward but is going to lose. The Green Light can be the signal to start?

Great song, not fully interpretable, but has lots of feeling of self-defeat in it.
