On That Day
Ásgeir Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're over my heart flower my poetry my son.
Just i looked at you and then i knew On the Day.
Seven tipidi small down on me.

Time flew by swiftly life was feel with time then son.
But it wasn't long before i learned On the Day.
You don't get to call the show that way.
Aaaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaaah

I still think about the possibility of love.
I see reflections throw that moment now from The Day.
Just the feeling glim that will not stay.

You're over my heart flower my poetry my son.
But it wasn't long before i learned On The Day.
You don't get to call the show that way.




You don't get to call the show that way.
You don't get to call the show that way.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ásgeir's song "On That Day" appear to be a contemplation of a past romantic relationship that failed. The writer reminisces about his love interest, likening her to a flower over his heart and the inspiration for his poetry. He remembers the day he met her and how he thought he had found true love. However, things didn't quite work out as he had hoped, and he realized that he couldn't control the situation or dictate how the relationship would play out.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "You don't get to call the show that way," implying that he had no say in how the events of the relationship unfolded. The writer recalls the possibility of love and how he still thinks about it, but it seems that it is only a fleeting thought that he can't hold on to. The final repetition of the chorus drives home the idea that sometimes things don't go the way we want them to, and we have to accept that we don't have full control over everything.

You were my heart flower my poetry my song
Just one look at you and then I knew
On that day,
Serendipity smiled down on me

Time flew by swiftly, life was filled with dance and song
But it wasn't long before I learnt
On that day,
You don't get to call the shots that way

I still think about the possibility of love
I see reflections of that moment now
From that day,
Just a fleeting glimpse that will not stay

You were my heart flower my poetry my song
But it wasn't long before I learnt
On that day,
You don't get to call the shots that way
You don't get to call the shots that way
You don't get to call the shots that way
