Sade is carrying a heavy heart after a breakdown in her relationship. It appears there is no solutions to their issues as she wallows in grief, even if the dj is playing different songs in a setlist, they all sound the same to her through this portion of emotions.

[Verse 1]
I'm crying everyone's tears
And there inside our private war I died the night before
And all of these remnants of joy and disaster
What am I supposed to do?
I want to cook you a soup that warms your soul
But nothin' would change, nothin' would change at all
It's just a day that brings it all about
Just another day and nothing's any good
[Chorus]
The DJ's playing the same song
I have so much to do, I have to carry on
I wonder if this grief will ever let me go
I feel like I am the king of sorrow
The king of sorrow
[Verse 2]
I suppose I could just walk away
Will I disappoint my future if I stay?
It's just a day that brings it all about
Just another day and nothing's any good
[Chorus]
The DJ's playing the same song

I wonder will this grief ever be gone
Will it ever go?
I'm the king of sorrow
The king of sorrow

I'm crying everyone's tears
I have already paid for all my future sins
There's nothing anyone can say to take this away
It's just another day and nothing's any good
[Outro]
I'm the king of sorrow
King of sorrow
King of sorrow
King of sorrow
Sorrow
King of sorrow
King of sorrow
King of sorrow
