The Meltdown's song "Better Days" is a poignant exploration of longing, regret, and the hope for a brighter future. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a journey, both literal and metaphorical, as the protagonist drives down a highway with a sense of aimlessness and desperation. The imagery of having an arm out the window and baggage on fire suggests a desire to let go of past burdens and move forward, even if the path ahead is uncertain. The recurring theme of an orange glow and burning blaze symbolizes the intensity of the protagonist's emotions and the turmoil they are experiencing. The chorus reflects a deep yearning for better days, a time when life was more manageable and hopeful. The protagonist clings to the belief that these days will return and save them from their current despair. This hope is juxtaposed with the reality of their situation, where they feel lost and unable to understand what went wrong. The metaphor of words flickering like flames and falling like leaves emphasizes the fleeting nature of their thoughts and the sense of loss they feel. The miles they travel do not bring the solace they seek, highlighting the internal struggle that cannot be resolved by physical distance alone. The song also touches on themes of isolation and the need for connection. The protagonist acknowledges that only a specific person can set them free, yet they feel unable to reach out, either due to lack of means or the belief that their call would go unanswered. The fading taste of better days on their tongue, compared to the setting sun, underscores the fleeting nature of hope and the urgency to find a way to hold on. "Better Days" by The Meltdown is a powerful reflection on the human condition, capturing the essence of longing for a time when life felt more secure and fulfilling. Let's go drivin' on this highway Let me wander far and wide Got my arm out on the window With my baggage on fire by my side All I see is this orange color I see it glowing, a burning blaze I can't recall just why I'm here now But I still remember better days Better days (better days) I know they can come again And save me from this end Help me carry on Better days (better days), I can't keep going this way Something's gotta help me stay With this world, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Still don't know what I did wrong I never asked for this jacket I wear Words flicker like a flame in the breeze Falling to the ground like leaves Crashing down And these miles don't seem to make things fine Like I'd hoped This distance would And I drive like I got no place to be Only you can set me free If you only would Better days (better days) I ain't got a dime to call you But you wouldn't answer So what's the point? Better days (better days), I can taste them on my tongue Fading like the setting sun It'll soon be gone, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Better days Vamos a conducir por esta carretera Let's go drivin' on this highway Déjame vagar por todas partes Let me wander far and wide Saqué mi brazo por la ventana Got my arm out on the window Con mi equipaje en llamas a mi lado With my baggage on fire by my side Todo lo que veo es este color naranja. All I see is this orange color Lo veo brillando, un fuego ardiente I see it glowing, a burning blaze No puedo recordar por qué estoy aquí ahora I can't recall just why I'm here now Pero todavía recuerdo días mejores But I still remember better days Mejores días (mejores días) Better days (better days) Sé que pueden volver I know they can come again Y sálvame de este final And save me from this end Ayúdame a continuar Help me carry on Mejores días (mejores días), no puedo seguir así Better days (better days), I can't keep going this way Algo tiene que ayudarme a quedarme Something's gotta help me stay Con este mundo, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh With this world, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Aún no se que hice mal Still don't know what I did wrong Nunca pedí esta chaqueta que uso. I never asked for this jacket I wear Las palabras parpadean como una llama en la brisa Words flicker like a flame in the breeze Cayendo al suelo como hojas Falling to the ground like leaves derrumbándose Crashing down Y estas millas no parecen mejorar las cosas And these miles don't seem to make things fine Como esperaba Like I'd hoped Esta distancia sería This distance would Y conduzco como si no tuviera un lugar donde estar And I drive like I got no place to be Sólo tú puedes liberarme Only you can set me free si tan solo lo hicieras If you only would Mejores días (mejores días) Better days (better days) No tengo ni un centavo para llamarte I ain't got a dime to call you Pero no responderías But you wouldn't answer ¿Entonces cuál es el punto? So what's the point? Mejores días (mejores días), puedo saborearlos en mi lengua Better days (better days), I can taste them on my tongue Desvaneciéndose como el sol poniente Fading like the setting sun Pronto se irá, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh It'll soon be gone, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
