One More Day
Cruiserweight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How could I even try to remember my seatbelt?
All the life tests I've failed and stability stays
Riddle me this, which is worse?
Being filled with pain or simply being filled
With not really anything at all...
Overwelmed it trapped me,
Overwelmed it trapped me,
It trapped me no control at all
Shutting down, no production today
It's my despair, my life
A continuious car crash
And the big trucks with their headlights
Faces crying "Going the wrong way"
And we hope for a whole day with nothing
Breaking down and I think gracious so do I
Overwelmed it trapped me,
It trapped me no control at all
Overwelmed it trapped me,
It trapped me no control at all
Have you had one of those days?
The lyrics of Cruiserweight's One More Day discuss the struggles and uncertainties of life. The singer takes us on a drive down memory lane, which seems to be a metaphor for the nostalgia and longing we all have for a simpler time. However, as the song continues, we realize that the singer's drive down memory lane is not a happy one. He reflects on the times he failed significant tests in his life which have left him unable to find stability. This lack of stability is represented by the line "How could I even try to remember my seatbelt?" The singer is so overwhelmed by the chaos and pain of his life that something as simple as putting on his seatbelt is a challenge because he cannot keep his thoughts together.
The lyrics delve into the idea of whether it is better to be filled with pain or simply be filled with nothing at all. The singer understands the pain he feels and recognizes it as something, but he questions what is worse - to feel that pain or to have no feelings or emotions at all. The lines “Overwhelmed it trapped me, it trapped me no control at all” convey how the singer feels trapped and powerless to control the events happening around him. He is simply overwhelmed by the circumstances of his life, and it feels as if there is no escape or control.
In summary, the song One More Day speaks to the relatable feeling of being trapped by life, overwhelmed with the pressure, and unsure of how to find stability in difficult times.
