Every Day Now

In 'Every Day Now,' Texas delves into the heavy theme of regret and self-blame. The song opens with a moment of clarity for the narrator, who realizes the proximity of something significant that had previously seemed distant. This newfound awareness brings a wave of emotions, as the narrator grapples with the consequences of their past actions. The lyrics 'Crying out why am I here' and 'There's no point in me hiding' suggest a deep internal struggle and a sense of inevitability about facing the truth.

The recurring line 'Everyday now, the blame's gonna fall on me' underscores the narrator's acceptance of responsibility for their past mistakes. This refrain acts as a constant reminder of the weight they carry, emphasizing the inescapable nature of their guilt. The song also touches on the idea of missed opportunities and wasted time, as seen in the lines 'All these years were wasted time' and 'Something deep inside said move away.' These reflections highlight the narrator's regret over not making different choices and the impact of those decisions on their life.

The emotional climax of the song comes with the admission, 'Cause I never told you that I could never live without it.' This line reveals a crucial piece of the narrator's regret: their failure to communicate their true feelings. This omission has led to a profound sense of loss and self-blame, which they now must confront daily. Texas uses a blend of introspective lyrics and a melancholic melody to convey the depth of the narrator's remorse, creating a poignant and relatable exploration of human emotion.
