Another Day
L\'ame Immortelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of my wishes and my dreams
My Pride lies shattered on the floor
With the fading sunlight beams
My thoughts embraced by nothingness
Mind waves passing by so slow
I long for your tender caress
As the silence fades away
I gather strength for another day
Another Day I've to go through
Another day here, without you X2
To flee from my addiction
I go out, to seek the voices
That speak an empty benediction
Of hollow words and empty choices
But these words, they keep me sane
Until the moment you return
Where I let go of all the pain
Free of anger and concern
As the silence fades away
I gather strength for another day
Another day I've to go through
Another day here, without you
Another day here, without you
When I hold you in my arms
The silence, that I did evade
Turns into voices screaming joy
And my pain to rest is laid
And I feel your warmth and love
As it into me doth flow
I come to only one conclusion
I will never let you go
The lyrics of L'ame Immortelle's song Another Day speaks about the feeling of loss and the desire to be reunited with someone who brings meaning to a person's life. The first two stanzas describe the singer's current state of mind- feeling shattered, yearning for someone's touch that brings warmth and innocence to their life. The third stanza explores how the singer tries to distract themselves from their pain by seeking out empty conversations, but it's only the anticipation of the return of the person they miss that brings them peace. The last stanza is a declaration of love- the impact that the absence of the person has, and the joy that their return brings.
The imagery of the poem is strong and gripping, evoking emotions of longing, isolation, and love. The first stanza, where the singer sits by the shore of their wishes, is a metaphor for their state of mind- feeling hopeless with no direction in life. The fading sunlight beams further symbolizes the end of a hopeful day and the beginning of a lonely night. The use of the word "nothingness" in the second stanza describes the emptiness that the singer feels without their significant other. The third stanza uses contrasting images of addiction and freedom to talk about the effect of their loved one's presence on their life. In the last stanza, the image of voices screaming joy highlights how much happiness the presence of their loved one brings them.

As I sit along the shore
Sitting alone on the shore, I'm lost in my own world of thoughts.
Of my wishes and my dreams
I'm surrounded by my desires and aspirations.
My Pride lies shattered on the floor
My self-respect and dignity are broken and scattered all over.
With the fading sunlight beams
As the day comes to an end and the sun sets, my spirits also fade away.
My thoughts embraced by nothingness
I'm lost in a void of emptiness and despair.
Mind waves passing by so slow
My mind is consumed by slow and monotonous thoughts.
I long for your tender caress
I yearn for your gentle touch and affectionate embrace.
As innocent as young fresh snow
Just like the purity and innocence of newly fallen snow.
To flee from my addiction
To escape from my compulsive behaviour.
I go out, to seek the voices
I venture out in search of some positive influence.
That speak an empty benediction
Though the words offer blessings, they are hollow and meaningless.
Of hollow words and empty choices
The words are meaningless and the choices are unfulfilling.
But these words, they keep me sane
Despite their emptiness, the words provide me with some comfort and sanity.
Until the moment you return
Until you come back to me.
Where I let go of all the pain
Where I release all my grief and anguish.
Free of anger and concern
Emotionally liberated from any resentment or worry.
When I hold you in my arms
Feeling your presence close to me.
The silence, that I did evade
The quietness that I avoided before.
Turns into voices screaming joy
Transforms into the sounds of exuberant happiness.
And my pain to rest is laid
My anguish is put to rest.
And I feel your warmth and love
My heart fills with your affection and tenderness.
As it into me doth flow
As your warm feelings flow into me.
I come to only one conclusion
I arrive at the only possible conclusion.
I will never let you go
I will always hold on to you, never letting you go.
