about

i worked at a grocery store for five years, and the music that plays over the speakers is some standard playlist containing about seven hours of music. spending eight to nine hours a shift there, i would hear many songs played twice. there was about 8% of songs on that playlist that i enjoyed, one of which is this song by Anna Ternheim, which strangely brought comfort during stressful workdays.

lyrics

call me free today
if you see it my way
time on my side
as well as my mind is
it's not with you for sure
no, not anymore
i intend to stay away for good

just a matter how I define
my state of mind
today is a good day

without your company
i have so many holes to fill
at least seven nights a week
killing time
i still feel fine, i guess
my life was a mess
when i shared it with you
i was lonely
now, i'm just alone

just a matter how I define
my state of mind
today is a good day

just a scratch on my ego
i get up in the morning
if we could plan tomorrow
i'll be keeping my mind cold
until the evening when the hours forget me
and the waiting awakes me
and the voices of madness
from my subconscious singing songs of sadness

today is a good day
