Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴If there's one thing I have saidIs that the dreams I once had, now lay in bedAs the four winds blow, my wits through the door
Fallin' down to you, sweet groundWhere the flowers they bloomWell, it's there I'll be foundHurry back to me, my wild callingIt's been the worst day since yesterday
Though these wounds have seen no warsExcept for the scars I have ignoredAnd this endless crutch, well, it's never enoughIt's been the worst day since yesterday
Hell says hello, well, it's time I should goTo pastures green, that I've yet to seeHurry back to me, my wild callingIt's been the worst day since yesterday
It's been the worst day since yesterdayIt's been the worst day since yesterday
The lyrics of "The Worst Day Since Yesterday" by Flogging Molly convey a sense of melancholy and despair as the singer reflects on his struggles, failures, and lost dreams. The opening lines reveal a self-deprecating attitude as he acknowledges his shortcomings and a feeling of helplessness: "Well, I know, I miss more than hit / With a face that was launched to sink / And I seldom feel, the bright relief / It's been the worst day since yesterday." Here, the singer seems resigned to his fate, feeling trapped in a cycle of disappointment and regret.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's longing for connection and comfort, as he calls out for someone to come back to him and ease his pain: "Fallin' down to you, sweet ground / Where the flowers they bloom / Well, it's there I'll be found / Hurry back to me, my wild calling / It's been the worst day since yesterday." The image of falling to the ground suggests surrender and a desire to escape from the burdens of daily life. The idea of a "wild calling" hints at a desire for adventure and freedom, as the singer seeks a way out of his troubles.
The final verse of the song reveals a sense of resignation as the singer entertains thoughts of death and the promise of an afterlife where he might find peace: "Hell says hello, well, it's time I should go / To pastures green, that I've yet to see / Hurry back to me, my wild calling / It's been the worst day since yesterday." Here, the singer seems to have given up on finding solace in the present and instead looks forward to a future where he might find release from his pain.
Well, I know, I miss more than hitI am aware that I fail more than I succeed
With a face that was launched to sinkMy appearance is not conducive to success
And I seldom feel, the bright reliefI rarely experience true happiness or relief from my struggles
It's been the worst day since yesterdayToday has been really bad, but it's not the first time I've felt this way
If there's one thing I have saidI have been consistent in saying
Is that the dreams I once had, now lay in bedThe dreams I used to have are no longer a driving force in my life
As the four winds blow, my wits through the doorMy mind is scattered and I feel lost
It's been the worst day since yesterdayThis is not the first day that has been this bad
Fallin' down to you, sweet groundI feel defeated and am seeking solace in nature
Where the flowers they bloomI am looking for a peaceful and beautiful place
Well, it's there I'll be foundI hope to find some sense of peace and clarity in this place
Hurry back to me, my wild callingI am yearning for a more exciting and fulfilling life
It's been the worst day since yesterdayOnce again, this day has been particularly bad
Though these wounds have seen no warsEven though I have not experienced war, I still have emotional scars
Except for the scars I have ignoredThere are some emotional wounds that I have not yet addressed
And this endless crutch, well, it's never enoughMy coping mechanisms are not sufficient enough to help me feel better
It's been the worst day since yesterdayOnce again, this day has been particularly bad
Hell says hello, well, it's time I should goI am feeling overwhelmed and ready to move on
To pastures green, that I've yet to seeI am hopeful for a more positive future
Hurry back to me, my wild callingI am still hoping for a more fulfilling and exciting life
It's been the worst day since yesterdayThis day has been particularly bad, but I am still holding out hope for the future
