One More Day
Eisley & Jon Crosby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One day I slowly floated away
All the war horses wore rubber bands
To hide their hooves from sinking sand
The commander in charge was hoping that
Their destiny was not to die
Wake up in the morning
And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
Fragile as we lie
Hard to foresee the future
Our bodies are growing thin
Glimpsing the peeling paint of
The nurse's ivory chin
You've got a lot of nerve coming here
Your eyes are beating rhythms way
Faster than the speeding bullet
That took the life of your radio
Wake up in the morning
I shall wake up and so shall you
And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
Fragile as we lie
And in the corner chair, soft and soap-scented
My darling cries apologies
We foresee the mercy
That's been shown my young limbs
Will not go unthanked or unseen
Wake up in the morning
I shall wake up and so shall you
And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
Fragile as we lie
The first verse of the song "One More Day" by Eisley & Jon Crosby speaks about a haunting experience of slowly drifting away. While the lyrics are not clear, it could mean cutting off ties with someone or even depersonalization. The second line seems to suggest that there is something unusual with the horses, as they are wearing rubber bands to hide their hooves from sinking sand. It could be a metaphorical image of hiding the difficulty that lies beneath the surface. The Commander is hoping that the horses' destinies are not to die, indicating that there is struggle and hardship every day, but there is still hope.
The second verse of the song talks about waking up in the morning and appreciating the beauty of the sun. Life is fragile, and the future is uncertain. The illness or cause of frailty is unknown, but it is affecting the singer and the person they share a bond with. The third and fourth lines combine to paint a vivid image of a hospital room. The singer sees the nurse's chin, which has begun to peel. The person they share a bond is confronted by the singer, who tells them that they have a lot of nerve coming here, with their eyes beating with rhythms faster than the speeding bullet that took the life of someone on the radio.

One day I slowly floated away
I drifted away from life slowly, one day at a time
All the war horses wore rubber bands
The horses in war had to wear rubber bands to conceal themselves in sand
To hide their hooves from sinking sand
The rubber bands were to prevent the horses from sinking in the sand
The commander in charge was hoping that
The leader in charge wished for the best outcome
Their destiny was not to die
The commander hoped that the horses would not meet their end in the war
Wake up in the morning
The start of a new day
I shall wake up and so shall you
We both will wake up in the morning
And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
Every morning, the sun looks stunning
And it is warming you and I
The sun is heating both of us
Fragile as we lie
We are vulnerable while we sleep
Hard to foresee the future
It's difficult to predict what will happen in the future
Our bodies are growing thin
Our bodies are slowly losing strength
Glimpsing the peeling paint of
Catching a glimpse of the cracked paint on
The nurse's ivory chin
The nurse's white chin
You've got a lot of nerve coming here
You're bold for showing up
Your eyes are beating rhythms way
Your eyes are moving quickly
Faster than the speeding bullet
Your eyes move faster than a bullet
That took the life of your radio
The bullet destroyed your radio
And in the corner chair, soft and soap-scented
A chair in the corner, smelling pleasantly clean
My darling cries apologies
My loved one is apologizing while crying
We foresee the mercy
We expect to receive mercy
That's been shown my young limbs
The mercy shown to us because of our youth
Will not go unthanked or unseen
We will show gratitude for the mercy we receive

I pray for the troops to return home. I pray for peace for the families of those who have lost their sons and daughters in an unnecessary war. I pray that this country stops sending trops over there. I pray for no more unnecessary deaths. I pray that the leaders of this country stop their tyrany. Good video.
