These Days

These days [these days]

I may not be so happy

Afterall [afterall]

After all that I have gained

I still feel sad

When I'm all alone

I may have failed back at the K

I may not be so swift afterall

All the chances you have given me

I just let you go

I guess I've been like this before

Sometimes I can't stand up and be a man

But god why would I lose it now

When I need my strength at hand

You know sometimes I can be real cool

All the words just seem to flow right along

But when that girl aproaches me

Well it all goes wrong

These days [these days]

I may not be so happy

Afterall [afterall]

Afterall that I have gained

I still feel sad

When I'm all alone

These days leave me

Hopelessly delirious

I wish these days would end

Oh lease end

These days [these days]

I may not be so happy

After all [afterall]

After all that I have gained

I still feel sad

When I'm all alone

These days [these days]

I may not be so happy

Afterall [afterall]

Afterall the chances

You've given me

I just let you go

These Days - Weezer

Released in 2008, 'These Days' stands as a defining track from Weezer's 'Weezer (The Blue Album)', marking a pivotal shift in the band's sound and lyrical direction. The song features the band's signature melodic guitar work paired with a more introspective and emotionally raw vocal performance from Rivers Cuomo, moving away from their earlier pop-punk anthems. Thematically, it explores feelings of disillusionment and the passage of time, resonating deeply with fans who appreciated the band's willingness to mature sonically. As a staple of the album, the recording captures the band's ability to blend rock energy with thoughtful songwriting, cementing its place in their discography and influencing subsequent indie-rock releases. The track remains a popular choice for live performances, showcasing the group's enduring relevance and musical versatility.
