Zack Bia feat Lil Yachty & 347aidan One of Those Days (2023)

The concept of axis mundi, the world axis, has long been a symbol of transcendence and connection between different realms of existence. In many spiritual and philosophical traditions, it represents the bridge between the earthly and the divine and embodies the desire to rise above constraints and reach a state of ultimate freedom.

But freedom, in this context, isn’t just about liberation from physical constraints—it’s about escaping the mental, societal and existential boundaries that keep us tied to the ground. The sky, birds, angels and even mythological figures like Icarus symbolize the human desire to break free.

Today’s song, “One of Those Days” by Zack Bia feat. Lil Yachty and 347aidan, taps into that feeling of liberation. With its floaty instrumentals and lyrics like “I hope that they don't find me now / I'm hidin’ way above the clouds […] / I just wanna fly right now,” the groovy track becomes a more relatable axis mundi: a brief connection to a place where worries fade, and freedom feels tangible. It’s not always about reaching some spiritual transcendence, though; sometimes it’s just about hitting pause on the grind.

So, why not call it a day and take off? Maybe not with wings, but with a killer playlist.
