Lyrics & Translation

[English]

That day, That day

What a mess what a marvel

I walked into that cloud again

And I lost myself

And I'm sad, sad, sad

Small, alone, scared

Craving purity

A fragile mind and a gentle spirit

That day, That day,

What a marvelous mess

This is all that I can do

I'm done to be me

Sad, scared, small, alone, beautiful

It's supposed to be like this

I accept everything

It's supposed to be like this

That day, That day

I lay down beside myself

In this feeling of pain, sadness

Scared, small, climbing, crawling

Towards the light

And it's all that I see and

I'm tired and I'm right

And I'm wrong

And it's beautiful

That day, That day

What a mess, what a marvel

We're all the same

But no one thinks so

And it's okay

And I'm small and I'm divine

And it's beautiful

And it's coming

And it's already here

And it's absolutely perfect

That day, That day

When everything was a mess

And everything was in place

And there's too much hurt

Sad, small, scared, alone

And everyone's a cynic

And it's hard and it's sweet

But it's supposed to be like this

That day, That day

When I sat in the sun

And I thought and I cried

Cause I'm sad, scared, small

Alone, strong

And I'm nothing and I'm true

Only a brave man can break through

And it's all okay

Yeah, it's okay

That day, That day

I lay down beside myself

In this feeling of pain, sadness

Scared, small, climbing, crawling

Towards the light

And it's all that I see and

I'm tired and I'm right

And I'm wrong

And it's beautiful

That day, That day

What a mess, what a marveleous mess

We're all the same

But no one thinks so

And it's okay

And I'm small and I'm divine

And it's beautiful

And it's coming

And it's already here

And it's absolutely perfect

That day, That day

That day, That day

That day, That day

When I lay down beside myself

In this feeling of pain, sadness

Scared, small, climbing, crawling

Towards the light

And it's all that I see and

I'm tired and I'm right

And I'm wrong

And it's beautiful

That day, That day

What a mess, what a marveleous mess

We're all the same

But no one thinks so

And it's okay

And I'm small and I'm divine

And it's beautiful

And it's coming

And it's already here

And it's absolutely perfect

That day, That day

That day, That day

That day, That day

That day, That day

So sweet, can you feel it? (Can you feel it?)

Are you here?

Are you with me?

I can feel it

And its beautiful

That day, That day

That day, absolutely perfect

Key Grammar Structures

  • What a mess what a marvel

    ➔ Exclamatory sentence with 'what'

    ➔ This is an exclamatory sentence emphasizing the surprise or admiration. 'What' is used before a noun phrase. It expresses a strong feeling about the situation.

  • I'm done to be me

    ➔ 'done' + to-infinitive

    ➔ This construction is unusual. It likely means "I am finished/ready to be myself". 'Done' here suggests the completion of a process leading to a certain state, which is 'being me'.

  • It's supposed to be like this

    ➔ 'be supposed to' + infinitive

    ➔ 'be supposed to' expresses expectation, obligation, or destiny. In this case, it suggests acceptance of the present situation, as if it were predestined or inherently right.

  • Only a brave man can break through

    ➔ Modal verb 'can' + infinitive

    ➔ The modal verb 'can' expresses ability or possibility. Here, it suggests that only a brave person has the ability to overcome obstacles or limitations.

  • We're all the same, but no one thinks so

    ➔ Contrastive conjunction 'but'

    ➔ 'But' introduces a contrasting idea. The first clause states a general truth (we are all the same), while the second clause contradicts it with the perception of others.

  • So sweet, can you feel it?

    ➔ Question tag

    ➔ A question tag is a short question at the end of a statement, used to confirm or engage the listener. Here, "can you feel it?" seeks confirmation.
