Noctura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
give up my everything
keep it safe
yesterday's ridden with shame
all the deceiving becoming reality
it's getting colder
lonely inside
can i forget about
all i can't live without
i'll make it all go away
lonely i'll be without
all of the inner doubt
feeding the need
give me one more day
keep it all deep down below
wait 'til i'm drowning before i show
always a place for my blame
living's a sacrifice i won't make
it's getting colder
leave me behind
Chorus:
can i forget about
all i can't live without
i'll make it all go away
lonely i'll be without
all of the inner doubt
feeding the need
give me one more day
i know i won't give it up
i know what i'm made of
i know it's destroying
but i don't mind
The lyrics of Noctura's song "One More Day" are an emotional reflection of an individual who is struggling with their inner demons. The opening lines, "only a moment away, give up my everything, keep it safe", imply that the singer is wrestling with making a profound decision, which might impact different areas of their life. They hold back, albeit unsuccessfully, their feeling of dread and hope that they will gather the courage and strength to overcome their obstacles. The following line, "yesterday's ridden with shame," suggests that they have been dealing with these struggles for some time, and perhaps find themselves questioning the decisions they have made in the past.
As the song unfolds, it is evident that the singer's struggle is internal. They have been keeping their feelings and emotions suppressed, and are afraid to confront their demons. The lines, "keep it all deep down below, wait 'til I'm drowning before I show," seem to indicate their reluctance to face their inner conflicts head-on. The singer feels hollow inside and is losing hope, as the lines, "it's getting colder, lonely inside, leave me behind," suggest. They are asking themselves if they can forget what they can't live without and make all their problems go away.
The repeated chorus emphasizes their desire for "one more day," a plea for more time to work through their problems. The song then ends with the acknowledgment of understanding the possible consequences of not opening up and exploring personal change but, as the lines state, the singer doesn't mind.
