One More Day
AlphaJorge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Those fights we have been having lately
Would feel like time we simply shouldn't waste
Those different games we played, they are now in my imagination
Reminding me of simpler, happy days
And in that one last day those things we never meant to say would be our last words, that will never change
Don't we all need some light in the end?
Remember what we said that time we sat down by a river and waited until the sun would rise again?
We were so naive then, we thought that we could change the world
But never noticed it didn't want to change
Don't we all need some light in the end?
There is only so much we can stand
Tell me: how do you feel by the end of the day?
When you know there's no time in our hands
I've been dreaming for so long
I'd have time to right my wrongs
I'm still searching for a light
Standing up for what we fight
Don't we all need some light in the end?
There is only so much we can stand
Tell me: how do you feel by the end of the day?
When you know there's no time in our hands
The lyrics to AlphaJorge's song "One More Day" explore themes of reflection, regret, and the desire for a second chance. The song conveys a sense of longing for more time to mend broken relationships and rectify past mistakes.
The opening lines, "If we had one more day, those fights we have been having lately would feel like time we simply shouldn't waste," suggests that the singer recognizes the importance of cherishing the time they have with a loved one, rather than allowing conflicts to consume their relationship. The mention of "different games we played" could refer to the various ways they interacted with each other, possibly symbolizing the differences and difficulties they faced. These memories are now confined to the singer's imagination, serving as a reminder of happier, simpler times.
In the chorus, the lyric "Don't we all need some light in the end? There is only so much we can stand" expresses the universal desire for hope and positivity, especially in the face of challenging circumstances. The singer acknowledges the limitations of their own resilience, suggesting that they have reached their breaking point.
The reference to a moment by a river, where they "sat down and waited until the sun would rise again," signifies a hopeful and optimistic outlook of wanting to bring about change. However, the subsequent realization that the world may not be receptive to change dampens their idealism. The line "We were so naive then, we thought that we could change the world, but never noticed it didn't want to change" highlights the disillusionment that can occur when one's optimism clashes with harsh reality.
The closing lines of the song reflect the ongoing search for redemption and the desire to correct past mistakes. The phrase "I've been dreaming for so long, I'd have time to right my wrongs" indicates a longing to make amends and find closure. The resolve to "stand up for what we fight" suggests a willingness to confront and address the issues that have caused pain and conflict.
Overall, "One More Day" is a contemplative and introspective song that captures the universal yearning for second chances and the opportunity to improve relationships.

If we had one more day
If we were given another chance, an additional day to spend together
Those fights we have been having lately
The arguments and conflicts we have been experiencing recently
Would feel like time we simply shouldn't waste
Would seem like precious moments that should not be squandered
Those different games we played, they are now in my imagination
The various activities and experiences we shared exist now only in my mind
Reminding me of simpler, happy days
Eliciting memories of more carefree and joyous times
And in that one last day those things we never meant to say would be our last words, that will never change
On that final day, the hurtful words we unintentionally uttered would remain etched as our final communication
Don't we all need some light in the end?
Don't we all yearn for hope and positivity as time passes?
There is only so much we can stand
There is a limit to the hardships and challenges we can endure
Remember what we said that time we sat down by a river and waited until the sun would rise again?
Recall the conversations we shared while sitting beside a river, eagerly anticipating the dawn
We were so naive then, we thought that we could change the world
During that moment, our innocence led us to believe that we possessed the power to transform the world
But never noticed it didn't want to change
Yet, we failed to realize that the world itself was resistant to alter or improvement
Tell me: how do you feel by the end of the day?
Inform me, how do you emotionally perceive the conclusion of each day?
When you know there's no time in our hands
When you are aware that time is slipping away from our grasp
I've been dreaming for so long
I have been indulging in fantasies and aspirations for an extended period
I'd have time to right my wrongs
I would have the opportunity to rectify my mistakes and make amends
I'm still searching for a light
I am still in pursuit of guidance, a source of inspiration or hope
Standing up for what we fight
Persisting in our commitment to the causes we strive for
