Theme
A gritty, lo-fi narrative of personal decay and the crushing weight of bad luck. Unlike the epic themes of war, this track focuses on the mundane but devastating failures of daily life—job loss, addiction, and poverty—portraying a man trapped in a cycle of self-destruction where every scar is a map of past mistakes.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woke up on the floor again
No idea just where I've been
My phone is dead, and the rent is due
I lost my job and I lost a tooth
[Chorus]
It's just another bad day
Another bad day
Another bad day
It's just another bad day
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
I tried so hard to keep things straight
But every move just tempts my fate
You moved on, and I stayed behind
Trapped in a life I can't rewind
[Chorus]
It's just another bad day
Another bad day
Another bad day
It's just another bad day
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
My life's a mess, but I call it mine
Dusted dreams in a cluttered mind
Every scar is a line I drew
Of everything that you put me through
[Chorus]
It's just another bad day
Another bad day
Another bad day
It's just another bad day
It's just another bad day
Another bad day
Another bad day
It's just another bad day
