The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Another Day, Another Idiot" by the artist "Walls of Jericho"

Contents

The song "Another Day, Another Idiot" by Walls of Jericho is an aggressive outburst against a person the lyrical heroine finds shallow, empty, and self-satisfied. The lyrics are full of contempt and frustration.

The heroine is amazed by the arrogance of this person, despite their apparent (in her opinion) worthlessness: "You're so proud... So superficial, so simple, you have nothing inside". She openly calls them "a waste of time" and is tired of having to "shut them up".

The second part of the song takes on a deeper meaning. The heroine, perhaps responding to unspoken accusations, acknowledges her own shortcomings: "There are things in my past, I have made mistakes, loved and lost, hurt a couple of people in my time, made promises and taken words back with a bite".

However, she emphasizes that she learns from her mistakes: "And I only resented it when there was no lesson to be learned". Unlike the object of her criticism, the heroine is not afraid of introspection and works on herself: "I will not forget the catastrophes... And I will not let this self-destructive bomb explode... These qualities are mine, I have a few, unlike you, I am working on myself".

The song ends with a challenge to the "enemies": "This is for my enemies, I will not do it any other way". This statement demonstrates the heroine's resilience and unwillingness to apologize for her true nature, however imperfect it may be.

I wonder why

Every time I see you

You hold your head up high

So surface,

So obvious,

You're holding nothing inside

You're a waste of time

I've had enough

Why don't I help you out

Cause I'm tired

Of choking down your mouth

Now you don't have to call me out

That's something I'll proudly do on my own

I have a past, I've made mistakes

Love and lost, hurt a few in my time

I've made some promises

With remorse I fell back on my words

I have only had regrets

If there was no lesson to be learned

And I won't forget the disasters I've counted on most

And I won't let this self-destructive bomb explode

These qualities are mine

I have a few unlike you

I work to be a better me

You're self righteous

What could you possibly say

Here's to my enemies

I wouldn't have it any other way
