“Uneventful Days” is the second single from Beck’s 2019 album Hyperspace. It details the boring, day-to-day, and uneventful life of a man wandering through darkness.
The lyrics stem from Beck’s divorce. He highlights his confusion and hopelessness, with lyrics such as “I know it’s gone” and “I don’...
[Chorus]
Uneventful days, uneventful nights
Living in that dark, waiting for the light
Caught up in these never-mending battle lines
Everything has changed, nothing here feels right
[Post-Chorus]
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know it's gone
I know
I know, I know it's gone (Ooh, yeah)
[Chorus]
Never-ending days, never-ending nights
Everything I say, I know I can't get right
It means definitely more to me than life
You might know my name, you don't know my mind
[Verse 1]
I don't even know what's wrong (The days without you)
Ever since you've been gone
Only ten minutes to go (Leave me cold and alone)
I don't even know you now
I don't know where you're from (From my world without you, no)
I don't know where you belong
I don't wanna hurt you (No, no, no)
I don't wanna let you go (Gonna leave me alone)
[Chorus]
Uneventful days, uneventful nights
Living in that dark, waiting for the light
Nothing you could say could make it come to light
I don't have a way to make you change your mind
[Post-Chorus]
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know it's gone
I know
I know, I know it's gone (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Never-ending days, never-ending nights
Time is moving slow, I don't even mind
It means definitely more to me than life
Got nowhere to go, got no will to fight
[Verse 2]
Haven't said a word now
Money getting thin now, I'm eating now
Have another round of drink now
Nothing but a low down, let down
You better not get down, left out
What am I really damn thinkin' 'bout?
Been in and out of love all night
[Chorus]
Never-ending days, never-ending nights
Everything I do, you know I don't do right
I've been waiting around all night
Yeah-yeah-yeah
[Outro]
Yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
