One More Day
Nana Ou-yang Lyrics

The lyrics to Nana Ou-yang's song "One More Day" convey a sense of reflection and moving on from a past relationship. The opening lines describe a day in December where the sunlight feels particularly glaring, and the singer suddenly realizes that they can no longer remember the face of their former lover. They look up at the clock on the wall and are reminded that it has been a long time since they last saw each other, emphasizing how everything has changed and moved on. The lyrics acknowledge the superficiality of trying to heal the pain by giving it to time, but also recognize that it is inevitable to seek solace in such a way.

The chorus speaks of drawing a red line between the two of them, symbolizing the tears that have turned into a rainbow after reflecting. This rainbow is projected onto the sky they once looked upon together, as starlight gently falls on the singer's long-lost smile. The repetition of the phrase "so the past doesn't matter" signifies a turning point in the song, where the singer realizes that they have finally reached a point where they can embrace a future without the presence of their former lover.

In the second verse, the lyrics once again reflect on the concept of time's role in healing, acknowledging that it may be superficial to give the pain to time, but ultimately unavoidable. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the idea of the tears turning into a rainbow and being projected onto the sky they once admired. The bridge of the song explores the possibility of reminiscing about the shy and precious moments they shared in the past, and how it might make them appreciate those memories even more. The song concludes with the final chorus, expressing a deeper longing for the connection they once had.
