sad day

FKA twigs' song 'sad day' delves into the complex emotions of longing, regret, and the cyclical nature of sadness. The lyrics paint a picture of a world that remains unchanged despite the internal turmoil of the narrator. The repetition of the phrase 'Everything is just the same as before' underscores a sense of stagnation and the inescapable nature of their emotional state. This sets the stage for a narrative that explores the tension between desire and the pain of past experiences.

The recurring line 'Would you make a, make a, make a wish on my love?' serves as a poignant plea for connection and hope. It suggests a deep yearning for the other person to take a chance on love despite the evident sadness. The metaphor of 'tasting the fruit' and 'making love to all you see' evokes a sense of vulnerability and the desire for intimacy. These lines highlight the narrator's willingness to offer themselves completely, hoping that this act of love might bring about a change in their emotional landscape.

The song also touches on themes of regret and the struggle to move forward. The lines 'You're running, and I tried to make it work before' and 'I made you sad before' reflect a history of failed attempts and the lingering impact of past mistakes. The imagery of the city howling and seducing adds a layer of external pressure and distraction, making the quest for genuine connection even more challenging. Ultimately, 'sad day' captures the bittersweet reality of love and the persistent hope that, despite the sadness, there is still a chance for renewal and happiness.
