Day by day, we drift away.
We stay, we play,
we try to be the ones we are:
Ain't we all, ain't we all?
You can journey
past the limits of time and place,
but there ain't no escaping
from the human race.
Can nothing stop this madness
but a stone that falls from space?
How can mankind ever recover
from this endless fall from grace?
Cave bear's claw caught
great-grandpa's nape.
It's natural law,
there's no escape.
'Cause when superman
casts off his cape,
he's just another naked ape.
Eyes unclosed, jaws agape,
lies exposed on videotape.
Can nothing stop this madness
but a stone that falls from space?
How can we ever recover
from this endless fall from grace?
Kill the lights, see the sights:
Pilgrims ride beyond inside.
The dream we dream
is the world we make,
we sew her seam
each breath we take.
Spheres unknown
we roll and riddle,
joyful moan of Voodoo Travel.
In bus we trust, ain't that enough?
There is no bus
'cause the bus - is us!
Day by day, we drift away.
We stay, we play,
we try to be the ones we are:
Ain't we all, ain't we all?
You can journey
past the limits of time and place,
but there ain't no escaping
from the human race.
Can nothing stop this madness
but a stone that falls from space?
How can mankind ever recover
from this endless fall from grace?
Kill the lights, see the sights:
Pilgrim ride beyond inside
The lives we led
seven roads to take,
let's spin new thread,
for heaven's sake.
What's mis-sewn we two unravel,
joyful moan of Voodoo Travel.
In bus we trust, ain't that enough?
Don't need no bus
'cause the bus - is us!
The song "Day By Day We Drift Away" by Ströer Bros. & Fine delves deep into the human condition and the never-ending struggle to find meaning and purpose in our lives. The opening lines of the song suggest that we are constantly moving further away from our true selves with every passing day, despite our efforts to be authentic. The repetition of the phrase "Ain't we all" implies that this is a universal struggle, and we all share a similar journey.
The next stanza brings up the idea of mankind's fall from grace and the irreparable damage we have caused to ourselves and the planet we inhabit. The lyrics suggest that we are on a path of self-destruction and that nothing less than a cosmic intervention can stop us from our destructive ways. This is a particularly poignant observation in today's world, where the destructive practices of mankind are threatening the very existence of life on earth.
The following stanzas touch upon themes of evolution, human nature, and the quest for transcendence. The line "when superman casts off his cape, he's just another naked ape" suggests that even our greatest achievements and advancements do not elevate us above our innate animal instincts. The song concludes with a call to action, encouraging us to create a better world by living more authentically and with greater awareness.
Day by day, we drift away.
We are slowly moving away and changing from who we once were.
We stay, we play,we try to be the ones we are:Ain't we all, ain't we all?
We spend time and have fun while also trying to find our true selves, which is something we all have in common.
You can journeypast the limits of time and place,but there ain't no escapingfrom the human race.
You can travel anywhere you want, but you can't escape from being a part of humanity.
Can nothing stop this madnessbut a stone that falls from space?How can mankind ever recoverfrom this endless fall from grace?
Is there no way to stop the chaos in the world other than a catastrophic event, and how can humanity regain its former state of grace?
Cave bear's claw caughtgreat-grandpa's nape.It's natural law,there's no escape.
Ancient humans were subject to the laws of nature and could not escape them.
'Cause when supermancasts off his cape,he's just another naked ape.
No matter how powerful or important someone may seem, they are still just a human being.
Eyes unclosed, jaws agape,lies exposed on videotape.Can nothing stop this madnessbut a stone that falls from space?How can we ever recoverfrom this endless fall from grace?
The world is filled with deception and wrongdoing that seems unstoppable, but how can we recover from losing our moral goodness?
Kill the lights, see the sights:Pilgrims ride beyond inside.The dream we dreamis the world we make,we sew her seameach breath we take.
Turn off distractions and look inside yourself to see the world as it truly is. We have the power to create the world we want, and every action we take contributes to it.
Spheres unknownwe roll and riddle,joyful moan of Voodoo Travel.In bus we trust, ain't that enough?There is no bus'cause the bus - is us!
We are all on a journey into the unknown, and we can find joy in the mysteries of life. We can trust in each other to be our support, as we are all working towards the same destination.
The lives we ledseven roads to take,let's spin new thread,for heaven's sake.
We have each led different lives and taken different paths, but we can create a new way forward for the greater good.
What's mis-sewn we two unravel,joyful moan of Voodoo Travel.In bus we trust, ain't that enough?Don't need no bus'cause the bus - is us!
We can undo our mistakes and find joy in the process. We can trust in each other as our support, as we are all working towards the same destination and can contribute to each other's journey.
