The song "100 Days" by UMI explores themes of exhaustion, pain, and longing for comfort and healing. The lyrics depict the narrator waking up tired and overwhelmed, unable to escape the pain they've been enduring. They question what they are supposed to do in the face of these challenges. The chorus reflects a sense of hope and determination to start anew each morning, but the struggles and pain persist. The repetition of the phrase "It's the same story, new page" suggests that despite the passage of time, the narrator's experiences and emotions remain unchanged. The lyrics also reveal a desire to numb the pain, perhaps through the use of emotional "Novocain," but ultimately recognizing that such attempts are temporary and do not offer a real solution. The song shifts towards an intimate conversation between UMI and her mother, where she asks her mom about her own upbringing and the absence of her mother in her life. UMI expresses some lingering feelings of anger and grief, but also acknowledges that love is an action word and recognizes her growth and understanding of her mother's situation. Overall, "100 Days" portrays the journey of navigating pain and difficult emotions, longing for resolution, and seeking healing and understanding in relationships.
