Music, like any art form, is subjective. It’s rare that a sound has universal appeal across multiple genres. In fact, that’s the hardest part of music. In today’s musical climate, rock and roll is a niche market and most bands can only claim fans in one specific genre. Enter Atlanta, GA’s POYNTE into the fray and you’ll be hard pressed to find someone who actually doesn’t like the band. Sure there are heavy guitars and syncopated beats, but there’s also a lyrical connectivity and a melodic sense that attracts people to their music.

2015 was a year that saw tremendous growth for POYNTE. The band experienced many firsts. They released their first full-length album in ‘Discreet Enemy’. They released their first music video for “Hold On”. They played their first National tour with platinum-selling artist Trapt and Sons of Texas.

2016 is shaping up to be another stellar year as the band has signed on with High Road Publicity to handle their press and radio campaigns. The band is shooting a music video with Director Andrew Burn for their track, “Take Control” and will be on tour with 2015 Ernie Ball Rock On The Range Battle Of The Bands winners, Screaming For Silence and their bearded brothers in Guns Out At Sundown.

About POYNTE:
Vocalist Kenny Hathorne’s voice and vocal melodies have been the key to furthering the band’s songwriting. Surviving a scissor lift accident, where he ended up with a titanium jaw replacement, Kenny leaves no doubt that he is destined for something great!

Guitarist Matt Bryant is one of the founding members of the band. Matt is a seasoned musician that has become a recognizable figure in the Atlanta music scene. He has been a driving force behind the group since the beginning.

The final elements were the additions of drummer Josh Fulcher, bassist Bryan Poss and lead guitarist Jake O’Donnell. Together, they’ve created the core that the band has long sought after.

While previous POYNTE lineups have had some success, the group senses their best days are yet to come. Some of their accomplishments include winning the 2012 Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands, which earned them a slot on the RockStar Uproar Festival in Atlanta, as well as winning the 2012 Cabo Wabo Your Shot to Rock. POYNTE has also shared the stage all across the Southeast with national acts such as 10 Years, Nonpoint, Shinedown, Godsmack, Papa Roach, Saliva, Drowning Pool, Fuel, All That Remains, Trapt, Sons Of Texas and Taproot.

About Discreet Enemy:
Written and refined over the course of a year, the band recorded ‘Discreet Enemy’ over a 60-day marathon in the band’s own studio, Covington, GA’s The Audiovault, with additional recording by Mike Froedge (Black Label Society/Double Drive/Bloodsimple) at Open Sky Studio. ‘Discreet Enemy’ was mixed by acclaimed producer/mixer Andy Reilly at Muse Productions (The Cult/Iron Maiden/Bon Jovi/The Police) and mastered by Matt Dalton (Chiodos/Hed Pe/Attila/Tantric/Royal Blood) at 37 Studios.

One More Day
POYNTE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every moment that passes by
Kills me a little more inside
And every landmark set in time
Are memories passing by
When there's one thing left to say
This will be better if only for one more day
We can break away
But the sun is gone

We're moving on
I won't say it's over
When you've had enough
I'm not giving up
But the sun is gone
We're moving on
I won't say it's over
Everytime I think it's done
The battle's faught, the war is won
I can see that time is slipping by, I question why
When there's one thing left to say
This will be better if only for one more day
We can break away
But the sun is gone
We're moving on
I won't say it's over
When you've had enough
I'm not giving up
But the sun is gone
We're moving on
I won't say it's over
We've had enough
We've had enough
We can't, we can't give up
We can't give up
One more day
(when you've had enough)
One more day
(I'm not giving up)
But the sun is gone
We're moving on
I won't say it's over
When you've had enough
I'm not giving up
But the sun is gone

We're moving on
I won't say it's over

Overall Meaning

The singer wishes for one more day to make things better, to break away from the pain and remember the good times. Despite the acknowledgement that "the sun is gone" and that they must move on, the singer refuses to give up and insists that it's not over yet.

In essence, "One More Day" is about the longing for a second chance, a chance to make things right and to hold on to what's important. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has experienced the end of a meaningful relationship and the difficulty of moving on.

Line by Line Meaning

Every moment that passes by
As time goes on, I feel worse and worse inside

Kills me a little more inside
Each moment that passes hurts me more than the last

And every landmark set in time
All the moments of significance that have passed

Are memories passing by
Those moments are just fading memories now

When there's one thing left to say
If there's only one thing that can help us now

This will be better if only for one more day
Things will improve even if just a little, if we can just make it through one more day

We can break away
We have the power to leave our past behind

But the sun is gone
We've lost something important, and it's holding us back

We're moving on
Despite everything, life is still moving us forward

I won't say it's over
Despite how it may feel, I refuse to give up hope completely

When you've had enough
When life feels overwhelming and you just can't take it anymore

I'm not giving up
I refuse to give up, even when things are tough

Everytime I think it's done
Just when I think I've reached the end of my rope

The battle's faught, the war is won
Whatever struggles I've faced are in the past and I've come out victorious

I can see that time is slipping by, I question why
I'm aware of time passing and feel unsure of why things are happening the way they are

We've had enough
We're at our breaking point

We can't, we can't give up
We have to keep pushing forward, we can't afford to give up

One more day (when you've had enough)
If we can just hold on for a little bit longer

One more day (I'm not giving up)
I refuse to give up hope, we can make it through this
