Good Days Lyrics – SZA



Soundtrack Album: White Men Can't Jump
Good Days Text
Good day in my mind, safe to take a step out
Get some air now, let yo edge out
Too soon, I spoke
You be heavy in my mind, can you get the heck out?
I need rest now, got me bummed out
You so, you so, you
Baby, baby, babe
I've been on my empty mind sh*t

I try to keep from losin' the rest of me
I worry that I wasted the best of me on you, babe
You don't care
Said, "Not tryna be a nuisance, this is urgent"
Tryna make sense of loose change
Got me a war in my mind
Gotta let go of weight, can't keep what's holdin' me
Choose to watch while the world break up in front of me

All the while, I'll await my armored fate with a smile
Still wanna try, still believe in
Good days, good days, always
Always inside (Always in my mind, always in my mind, mind)
Good day living in my mind

Tell me I'm not my fears, my limitations
I disappear if you let me
Feelin' like, yeah (On your own)
Feelin' like Jericho
Feelin' like Job when he lost his sh*t
Gotta hold my own, my cross to bear alone, I
Ooh, played and dipped, way to kill the mood
Know you like that sh*t
Can't groove it, ba-baby
Heavy on my empty mind sh*t

I gotta keep from losin' the rest of me (Rest of me)
Still worry that I wasted the best of me on you, babe
You don't care
Said, "Not tryna be a nuisance, this is urgent" (It's urgent)
Tryna make sense of loose change
Got me a war in my mind (My mind)
Gotta let go of weight, can't keep what's holdin' me
Choose to watch while the world break up in front of me

All the while, I'll await my armored fate with a smile
Still wanna try, still believe in
Good days, good days, always (Good days on my mind, good days on my mind)
Sunny inside (Always in my mind, always in my mind, mind)
Good day living in my mind

Gotta get right
Tryna free my mind before the end of the world
I don't miss no ex, I don't miss no text
I choose not to respond
I don't regret, just pretend sh*t never happened
Half of us layin' waste to our youth, it's in the present
(Na-na, na-na, na-na, na)
Half of us chasin' fountains of youth and it's in the present now

Always in my mind, always in my mind, mind
You've been making me feel like I'm
Always in my mind, always in my mind, mind

Artist Information:

SZA is an American singer-songwriter known for her beautiful vocals and frank lyrics. She became a huge influence in current R&B with her high-profile debut studio album, "Ctrl," which was released in July 2017. SZA's music explores themes such as love, self-discovery, and personal evolution. She is that resilient woman, and her kind of music is the blend of R&B, neo-soul, and bits of hip-hop. She is signed to the same label that does Kendrick Lamar and ScHoolboy Q. This kind of mixture of personal, yet relatable but not completely easy-to-pin lyrics and her vocal styles makes her critical and a darling for many.

Annotations and Meaning:

The song began with SZA reflecting on her condition of mind and how the urge to find inner peace was. She remembered that she wanted to step out and clear her head.
"Good day in my mind, safe to take a step out / Get some air now, let yo edge out"
SZA wants a mental break, for the release of stress and embracement of peace.
"I try to keep from losin' the rest of me / I worry that I wasted the best of me on you, babe / You don't care"
She is worried to have invested so much in someone who does not give it back, which results in her being emotionally exhausted.
"Tryna make sense of loose change / Got me a war in my mind"
There is an obvious mental tug-of-war in an attempt to fully grasp her thoughts and feelings in this line.
"Gotta let go of weight, can't keep what's holdin' me"
It makes SZA feel like she must take off some burdens and the negativity that holds her down, in a sense.
"All the while, I'll await my armored fate with a smile / Still wanna try, still believe in / Good days, good days, always"
Overall, in all her problems, she maintains a positive view of life and continues being optimistic in view of the better days; she keeps her chins up.
"Tell me I'm not my fears, my limitations / I disappear if you let me"
SZA needs constant reassurance that her identity is not assigned to her fears and limitations, but that she is being loosened from their grip.
