Days Of The New - Whimsical Lyrics






I can see the orange sky in front of me
I can see things you'll never see
People say its all a f--ing dream
But I can say words you couldn't speak

Is it me?
Can you believe
You'll never live the world I live

Is it me?
It is only me
I can only live a world to...live

Break away from you shattered beliefs
Detaching from my body desperate in grief
I have changed the world in front of me
One against all; I'm starving this world

[bridge] Is it me?
Do you want me?
You think you can have me
Say you love me
You want me!
I'm saving my money 'cause I don't pay to...

[chorus] I'm not afraid to live
I'm not afraid to die
I can only give
What I see inside
You can only take
What I give of me
You can only win
When I'm not afraid to lose...

Subjected to your mother of nature
Limited to the color of your eyes
Drained by the one you call your lover
She don't care if you live or die

[repeat bridge and chorus]

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You can only win when I'm not afraid to lose...

Well I don't have a problem
I evolved, (I evolved, I evolved...)
Sometimes there are always problems
Well I don't have a problem...
I stand above...

Days Of The New Whimsical Comments
  1. S.... H....

    This is the soundtrack for rising above things that shove u down, Or wallowing in your own demise. He’s a genius my hero

  2. S.... H....

    From a troubled childhood to prison for homelessness

  3. P.... G....

    Musical genius, acoustic enrapture

  4. D.... H....

    Sometimes there are always problems....

    ....But I don't have a problem

  5. B.... L....

    “You can only Win! When I’m not afraid to Lose!” What a Grandiose thing to say... “ I can relate being an addict too. 😞 Love ❤️ Days of the New.” I don’t really Hate anyone. I struggle the same as everyone else.

  6. a.... ....

    One in a long line of brilliant men that music failed.

    a.... ....

    androtaz01 right..

  7. B.... H....

    i have developed an addiction to Days of the New.... i just cant fucking stop

  8. T.... G....

    I've been a fan since the first album came out and have listened to them at least 3 to 4 times a week ever since! This is true music, every sensation a human being can feel in every song

  9. M.... Q....

    The artwork is so in tune with the feelings this song gives.



    "I don't have a problem
    I stand above"

    M.... Q....

    You just nailed my exact feelings. Is this Travis' artwork?

  10. H.... m....

    Poor copy of Tool.

  11. D.... W....

    2019.......................no one but me?

    D.... W....

    don't worry you are not alone bro.

    D.... W....

    THAT'S WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT LIFE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE TO LEARN TOO LATE!

    D.... W....

    I'm watchin'...

  12. T.... W....

    And the 12 children who gave it a thumbs down clearly have no idea what it was like in the last years of the 90's and the people like us this music touched and all that we were experiencing in those times.... drug, love and pain....😎

  13. A.... P....

    That intro OMG!!🔥

  14. T.... B....

    If you are struggling with addiction, seek within. YOU have the power and there is nothing but your busted brain cells keeping you from freedom. Just try harder...

  15. S.... L....

    please come back Travis you don't know how many people you been helping over the years.

  16. I.... M....

    Who ever dislike...f××× you

  17. I.... M....

    I been listening to this for 10 years.
    I love it!

  18. k.... ....

    Oh how I miss this band......

  19. S.... L....

    I love this song.when it breaks into the chorus i get goose bumps.

  20. J.... k....

    My step dad introduced me to these guys 18 years ago, still goes hard

  21. P.... D....

    I saw Travis Meeks in Hattiesburg Mississippi around 2008 before I moved up here to the Upper Peninsula in 2009. I was amazed at how he put a Fantastic show with just him and 1 other performer. I could not keep eyes off of him. He took the time after the show to come over and shake my hand and say Thank you and give me a kiss on the cheek. He also did this with others. 😊😊

  22. a.... ....

    i give up

  23. W.... L....

    love the intro, should have played it throughout the song,but what do I know.

  24. J.... D....

    I found this song during a hard time in my life,I probably wouldn't have made it through if I didn't find this.

  25. A.... L....

    f-l-a-w-l-e-s-s............................x

  26. M.... R....

    favorite dotn tune for sure

  27. C.... W....

    The lyrics are so powerful. And to come from the mind of a 16 year old is unbelievable. Travis and his boys accomplished at a very young age what most adults never do. I'm an just so thankful he was able to give us this awesome music and poetry before the devil reared his ugly head and lured Travis in. Travis however, is truly one of the lucky ones that actually made it out and survived his demons. All the people that judge him have no clue about addiction if they have never lived it. I understand the first time use is a choice, but after that, and I don't care how strong minded you are, you really have no choice because addiction is so physical and mental. It has a grip that superman could not break free of. So cut the guy so slack and just enjoy and bask in what this talented young man was able to give us. I am 43 years old and still jam these guys on a daily basis. And that my friend, says a lot about his lyrical talent because I tend to get bored with repetitive music. We miss you Travis!!!! God bless you for the powerful poetic lyrics and music you gave us.

    C.... W....

    Ppl focus to much on his addiction. He has autism ocd anxiety and other major ones. He's a victim of the mental health system.

  28. W.... L....

    6 now..9-14-17...ignorance I say

    W.... L....

    W Lllo ears that aren't ready yet, APPARENTLY

  29. C.... J....

    Been a huge fan of Days of the New since the first time I listened to this CD in '95. Then found out they are from Louisville, Ky. Being from Ky myself made me an even bigger fan because they was the only group( to my knowledge) at that time from Louisville that made it big.

  30. D.... ....

    Good song!

  31. J.... B....

    Thank you.. blessings

  32. J.... D....

    Am I the only person hear that recognizes this art from Machine Gun Kelly's second album, General Admission? It's slightly altered, but pretty much the same.

    J.... D....

    Jose DeJesus this video was posted ten years ago. Mgk is irrelevant compared to DOTN

  33. m.... ....

    They call eat eaten crow. Whatever that means. I like you for being blood of us.

  34. F.... J....

    sometimes there are always problems ,well I don't have a problem ascend above Yeah !

  35. L.... B....

    It doesn't get much more bad-ass than that.....

  36. K.... ....

    Hell yeah.

  37. j.... s....

    j.... s....

    j.... s....

    +Futile Justice This music has kept me from throwing myself away,I plan on buying all of the music Travis made. This is if I can't find it...

    j.... s....

    j.... s....

    Futile Justice my favorite song from travis is the next right thing or another flaw. This music kills me inside sometimes more than life can,but if I didn't have it I couldn't keep living.

    j.... s....

    Wii u games and more than happy to

  38. R.... M....

    Who's the 1 asshole who disliked it?

    R.... M....

    +Ryan Monteleone To american culture everybody likes, but other cultures I know a lot of people who dislike. They would say. Very depressive song. I particulary like.

    R.... M....

    +EDUARDO LUIS FAGUNDES DA SILVA exatamente cara

    R.... M....

    Yeah those people like that can just have my ass hair in their mouth

  39. M.... ....

    This song makes me all choked up... Love this stuff.

  40. c.... ....

    Saw them in concert in 93 in Albuquerque. I still have his guitar pick. Small venue and an amazing show.
    Say you love me...

    c.... ....

    carlosinzen umm, they didn't exist in 93.

    c.... ....

    never got to see D.O.T.N.......(another of my life's regrets!)

    c.... ....

    carlosinzen you mean 97* lol

  41. C.... ....

    I always play this song......its part of my soul.

  42. L.... ....

    This song is the fucking manifest.

    L.... ....

    Lipoxai of?

  43. J.... H....

    Is the art on this video the actual album art? Who is the artist? Please let me know. Thanks!

    J.... H....

    I'm pretty sure Rick Stultz is the artist. Check out the Video "sick of man" by COLD and you will see a few more portraits by the same artist. Very good song too btw....Check it out!

    J.... H....

    It's like Yes meets Dr. Seuss.

    J.... H....

    Jennifer Hardy, Not sure, but I know Machine Gun Kelly's second album, General Admission, uses an altered version of this art as the album cover.

    J.... H....

    Jose DeJesus yeah he fucking stole it

  44. K.... ....

    My dad always had this album laying around. Always loved it. When i saw that episode of Intervention it broke my heart so see how he ended up. Glad he's clean now. So much talent. 

    K.... ....

    Eric T -wow, that's really good.
    Thanks for sharing

    K.... ....

    Damned kids

    K.... ....

    @Eric T very poignant

    K.... ....

    Trips me out that someone's kid is listening to this because it was their dad's music, lol....Good news though, we got stoned to this in our day, and our parent's Led Zeppelin. Now you get to burn one down to your parent's cool music and whatever new stuff your generation has playing in your friend's garage....circle of life continues!

    K.... ....

    He’s not clean sadly. So much talent with so much against him

  45. T.... T....

    this is truly my fav tune off yellow. always has been. clicked on it thinking there was a video. silly me. oh well might as well listen. stay clean travis!!!

  46. L.... D....

    You can only take what I give of me

    L.... D....

    So true

  47. 2.... ....

    Hello Violet Heart

  48. 2.... ....

    everyone should give this tune some time

  49. M.... D....

    1 Thing Certainly Comes to Mind...Pure Talent :p

    M.... D....

    Got to reply. Yes TALENT all the way. back in the 90s when they hit New Zealand  just had to get the cd and still got it will 2 of them as they only had 2 of there cds sold here that i no off.

    M.... D....

    Mike at trying to make MUSIC -WOW!, I had know idea they swung by NZ.
    I may have been too young.
    Despite my current social anxiety issue, I'd reject it, and venture out to personally witness DotN, if the opportunity arose once more.

  50. W.... B....

    Great to see comments as recent as only a few weeks ago. Hard to put into words what I think of this guy.  If there was a subconscious task given to me from the day I left the womb to find the perfect sound...Meeks is it! 

  51. r.... w....

    its the bad

  52. j.... ....

    The song is appropriate for the way the Sun is reflecting upon the Heavens this morning. Enjoy

    j.... ....

    There is no heaven. Enjoy.

  53. R.... ....

    este hellson se me hace conocido......

  54. 1.... ....

    Makes me think of wanna be Alice in Chains. Prefer Tantric :(

    1.... ....

    13outbreaks lmao dumbass

    1.... ....

    Tantric was good but lyrically there is no doubt Travis and Todd were amazing and not trendy at all.

    1.... ....

    And to add Todd Whitney was the lead in Tantric after dotn broke up

    1.... ....

    You remind me of a whiny cunt go away

  55. h.... c....

    q cHimbA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  56. n.... ....

    QuantumPhysicsDub all of them are

  61. Q.... ....

    @vaitefoderotario 16(:

  62. v.... ....

    Travis was 17 years old when he wrote these lyrics. His music and lyrics are so deep and profound that they bring tears to my eyes.

  63. r.... d....

    magic song.... so profound

  64. J.... ....

    LOVE the artwork! wish I had a copy! :)

    Perfect song

  69. Y.... b....

    Soo Great Fucking Song , I <3 it xD

  70. S.... ....

    Di que me amas, que me quieres, no quiero pagarte por respirar.
    No tengo miedo a vivir, no tengo miedo a morir,
    Sólo puedo dar lo que veo en el interior,
    Sólo puedes tomar lo que te entrego de mí,
    Sólo puedes ganar cuando no tienes miedo a perder...

  71. f.... ....

    one of the most influential artists of my time!! Some of the best acoustics you'll hear and i know there are better out there but they blend so well. A great group..

  72. C.... D....

    @ Mackeyf4L Kurt and Travis are two completely seperate and different artists. Therye both great at songwriting though.

  73. D.... D....

    I'm not afraid to live!
    I'm not afraid to die!
    I can only give what I see inside...
    You can only take what I give of me
    You can only win when I'm not afraid to lose
    Genius. Will always listening to Travis art...

  74. D.... D....

    So deep. So Powerful. So underrated.

  75. R.... A....

    @mackeyf4L Not disagreeing with you,..just wonderin why anybody would seriously compare travis meeks to kurt cobaine.

  76. W.... T....

    Travis has brought days of the new to mankind...Literallly.
    The same mankind who brought him drugs and very bad days....

  77. t.... ....

    i love DOTN!!!!

  78. d.... ....

    You can only take what I give of me

  79. 8.... ....

    love this one. Top 5 from them forsure .. 1st and 3rd albums from days of the new are unreal.

  80. l.... ....

    NEWS FLASH: Days of the new became Days of the old!

  81. P.... r....

    @RufusLynx101 Todd Whtener is a queer.

  82. P.... r....

    @RufusLynx101 I agree, he is underrated as a musician. I love the orange album and this song in particular. I love at the end when he screams. OH YEAH! OH YEAH!!!!!!!!

  83. N.... F....

    i love this song
