One More Day
Socialburn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hear the crashing of the waves
I really came here to hide
To try and escape the pain inside
[Chorus]
But the tears roll down
Swore I'd never come to this
Swore I'd never come to this
I swear I've made up my mind
I'll take you back just one more time
Oh no, you've hurt me again
You said that you would change again my friend
[Chorus]
[Lead break]
Swore I'd never come to this
One more day I could have missed
The warm sunshine on my face
Can you hear the crashing of the waves
[Chorus extended]
The lyrics of Socialburn's song One More Day paint a picture of someone who has come to the beach to escape from the pain inside. The singer seems to swear that they would never return to this point, but their emotions get the best of them. The warm sunshine and the sound of waves crashing against the shore offer temporary respite, but the tears continue to roll down despite their initial determination not to have this happen again.
In the chorus, the singer acknowledges that they have a weakness for their partner and have made up their mind to give the relationship another chance despite being hurt again and again. The lead break in the song emphasizes the emotional turmoil that the singer is going through. The song's essential theme seems to be one of desperation, as if this chance to be with the partner is the only chance this protagonist will ever have to experience true love.
