One More Day
Misery Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I surrender whole to one
Night by night, day by day,
The blur of cities twisting us to severance
Your static voice over a thousand satellite hours
In Chrysalis my darling
Until our time
I'll flood my eyes in light
The road underfoot is certain to become the road behind
One day I'll stay home

Confide in me, this is my promise
This is and has to be
Never fraction or ephemeral
The gift of self, given completely
The way I will be given to you

From everything I've chosen to stray
But never with contempt
For every mile a moment missed
My absence not in vain
This choice is passion, this path is tension
I feel the pressure clenching me
This is now and not forever
Until our time
My ears will ring
The road underfoot is certain to become the road behind
One day I'll stay home
Night by Night, day by day

Confide in me, this is my promise
This is and has to be
Never fraction or ephemeral
The gift of self, given completely
The way I will be given to you




Until our time my ears will ring
Until our time I'll flood my eyes

Overall Meaning

Misery's song "One More Day" is a contemplative expression of devotion and sacrifice towards a loved one. The lyrics suggest a willingness to surrender oneself completely to the other person, despite the challenges and hurdles that may come with it. The line "Night by night, day by day, the blur of cities twisting us to severance" paints a picture of the difficulties of maintaining a relationship in the midst of a chaotic, modern world.


The song delves into the idea that the gift of oneself must be given completely and without reservation. The lyrics "This choice is passion, this path is tension, I feel the pressure clenching me" suggest that while the decision to give oneself entirely may be difficult, it is ultimately the right choice. The line "My absence not in vain" hints at the idea that distance and sacrifice can ultimately bring two people closer together.


Throughout the song, the lyrics emphasize the passing of time and the constant need to cherish and appreciate the present moment. The line "The road underfoot is certain to become the road behind" serves as a reminder that time is fleeting and that the opportunity to fully give oneself to another person may not always be available.
