It touches on the records main theme of the passage of time, and what finding love has meant for his future. It starts with minimal piano, and slowly builds on itself with anthemic guitar riffs, hard hitting drums, laid back vocals and a woozy mix.

In an interview with Zane Lowe, Kevin Parker shared the following:

“The start of the album was setting out a year, and then like, “One More Hour” was gonna be the last hour of that year, you know like where have we come to?“

“The time has come. Nothing left to prepare. Nothing left to worry about. Nothing left to do but sit and observe the stillness of everything as time races faster than ever. Even shadows cast by the sun appear to move. My future comes to me in flashes, but it no longer scares me. As long as I remember what I value the most.“ - via Apple Music

One More Hour
Tame Impala Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just a moment
Right before all the singin' ends
Wasn't brave enough to tell you
There ain't gonna be another chance

It's not gone until
(All that I have)
And everything's still

(One more hour)
Minutes erasing

Whatever I've done
I did it for love
I did it for fun
Couldn't get enough
I did it for fame
But never for money
Not for houses
Not for her
Not for my future children
Until now

How could I love again?
How could I ever ask for more?
And to the road ahead
Into a life I can't ignore
(Lose her) how could I love again?
(Move her) how could I love this path for sure?
(Don't)
(Lose her) with no more time to spare
(Move her) I know the answer more and more

As long as I can
Long as I can
Spend some time alone
As long as I can
Long as I can
Be the man I am

Oh, life is strange
One more hour
I could wait
One more hour

As long as I can
As long as I can
Spend some time alone
As long as I can
As long as I can
Remember who I am
As long as I can
As long as I can
Spend some time alone
As long as I can
As long as I can
Be the man I am

Just a minute, batter up before you go out there
All your voices said you wouldn't last a minute, babe
One more hour and you know your life is one to share
Just a minute, baby, right before we go through here
All these people said we wouldn't last a minute, dear
I'm with you and I can roll into another year
Just a minute, batter up before you go out there
All your voices said you wouldn't last a minute, babe
One more hour and you know your life is one to share
Just a minute, baby, right before we go through here
All these people said we wouldn't last a minute, dear
I'm with you and I can roll into another year

Just a minute, batter up before you go out there
All your voices said you wouldn't last a minute, babe

Overall Meaning

The song "One More Hour" by Tame Impala is a reflection on a past failed relationship and an appeal for one last chance with the former lover. The singer regrets not being honest with their partner when they had the chance, and they are haunted by the fact that there is no possibility of a second chance with that person. The lyrics suggest that the singer has come to realize that everything they did in the relationship was out of love, fun, or a desire for fame, and not for material possessions like money or houses. The song culminates in the realization that the singer must move on with their life but still holds onto the hope that they can love again and find someone that will appreciate them for who they are.

Line by Line Meaning

Just a moment
Right now, at this very second

Right before all the singin' ends
Just as this song is coming to a close

Wasn't brave enough to tell you
I was too scared to admit the truth to you

There ain't gonna be another chance
I won't have another opportunity like this

It's not gone until
The situation is still salvageable until

(All that I have)
I've exhausted every option

And everything's still
Despite everything, the situation hasn't changed

(One more hour)
If I had just a little bit more time

Minutes erasing
Time quickly ticking away

Whatever I've done
All the actions I've taken

I did it for love
I acted out of love

I did it for fun
I acted for enjoyment

Couldn't get enough
I was addicted to it

I did it for fame
I acted for recognition

But never for money
Money was never my motivation

Not for houses
I didn't do it for property

Not for her
I didn't do it for my partner

Not for my future children
I wasn't thinking about my kids

Until now
But now things are different

How could I love again?
I'm struggling to open my heart once more

How could I ever ask for more?
I can't imagine wanting more than what I have

And to the road ahead
Looking at the path before me

Into a life I can't ignore
Heading towards a future I can't avoid

(Lose her) how could I love again?
Fearful of losing my partner and being hurt again

(Move her) how could I love this path for sure?
Doubtful of being able to make a clear decision

(Don't)
I wish I knew what to do

(Lose her) with no more time to spare
If I lose my partner, it will be too late to fix things

(Move her) I know the answer more and more
I'm starting to have a clearer idea of what I should do

As long as I can
For as much time as possible

Long as I can
As much as I'm able

Spend some time alone
Have some time to myself

Remember who I am
Stay true to myself and my identity

Just a minute, batter up before you go out there
Get ready, focus, and prepare yourself

All your voices said you wouldn't last a minute, babe
Despite criticism, you've proven yourself

One more hour and you know your life is one to share
Just a bit more time to cherish with loved ones

All these people said we wouldn't last a minute, dear
Despite doubts from others, we've made it work

I'm with you and I can roll into another year
Being with you gives me strength and hope for the future

The Slow Rush is such a fantastic concept album. The concept is time, and it starts off with a track called ‘One More Year’ which is a song about enjoying a year to yourself, postponing everything until that year is up. When it begins he says “remember we were standing here a year ago?” Essentially saying it’s already been one year and they’re going for one more year. It ends with “One More Hour” which is the final hour of that year, however the song ends with “I’m with you and I can roll
into another year” beautiful. Like time is infinite inside this album from start to finish. I love this album. My favourite sound on it is the end of ‘breathe deeper’ as well as the melody at the end of this song.

@gabrielcesar6082

4y↑31

Not only that. I feel like an tame impala album is so good that makes you wanna listen again in loop. In the last track "one more hour" he says "I'm with you and I can roll with you another year" being the last hours of the year. When it ends (and the album starts again in loop) it plays "one more year" again - exactly when another year begins (if you, obviously, listen the album in the last hours of the year) AND the album has almost one hour 😂 Genius. I may be tripping but makes sense to me, or it's just coincidence

@tropicalfruit4571

4y↑28

To be fair, Kevin said himself that it's not a concept album. He said he wanted to achieve this idea of the passing of time within the album but that's about it. Interestingly enough, he also said that he has no idea if the songs sound good in the order he chose; it's more of an order he thought was good enough and he hoped it sounds good. Obviously some choices are in your face, One More Year and One More Hour, as well as On Track where "it's nearly August" and it's the 7th song on the album and the album has 12 songs... I'd say he nailed the idea of time but it's hard to say if it's a concept album even if the artist says it's not xD

@andforgames

4y↑15

not really correct. it s actually an album devoted almost completely to his recent marriage and all the struggle, unknown it comes with besides his family relationships. getting used to, risk of being bored of each other and more feelings if you read lyrics carefully. it s mainly about the feelings towards family.

He talks about this song being about accepting the fact a new chapter in ones life is opening and another is closing , forever . I reckon it’s also a metaphor of a kind for his transition genre wise. This album is telling his fans to move on and perhaps like an apology he can’t be who he used to be genre wise .

@piercingpencils_art

What a great analysis. I can totally agree with this. I haven't had enough listens of this song just yet, but when I do I wonder what my interpretation will be. For now all I'm seeing is Anime scenes. LOL but Kevin so far has been known as a very good songwriter.

@piercingpencils_art

4y↑12

Its been a few days now, and I got the interpretation that before he transitions into the next chapter of his life that he knows the change is inevitable and it will affect his music from here on. Him singing "lose her, I'll never love again" is maybe his conflict of being used to how his lifestyle and music is now and wanting things to stay the same and not letting a relationship change that versus taking the next step with this lover and compromising so he could stay with her and still pursue his music career without losing one or the other. The lyrics "as long as I can and have this time alone" isa way of maybe saying that before the change comes he will enjoy the last few moments the way they are this present time and is aware that there isn't much time left to enjoy things this way. For me, this my favorite song on this album.

Until Currents came along, Innerspeaker was my fav album by Tame Impala. I grew up with rock and so it was easy to get so lost in that album, but obviously Kevin didn't wanna stay as the dubbed "psych rock savior" forever; he's so much more talented and gifted and we've obviously seen that with his latest output. This album was so well crafted and put together. I just wanna say how I love so much that he ended this album with those loud blistering guitars, hearing them fade away with his voice really made me tear up, in a way i saw that as a callback to that raw organic sound that he started with 10 years ago. The selfish part of me wishes it was so much longer lol. Well i'm rambling now, this album was so perfect; see you in March Kevin :)

I don't think this album is soft. The lyrics and songwriting is where it really comes together. Strip away the style of music that might not be your preference and read each song like a poem. They really hit home. Especially with the way this year has turned out so far. Listen to his acoustic version of "On Track" that he just released this month ("I know it's nearly August"-good timing lol). It hits you like a ton of bricks.

This whole album is honestly, the theme for 2020. God given timing on the drop of this whole album as well. The true genius and direction in art it takes in themes atmosphere and layers, is euphoric. The themes alone are timeless, but the character and instrumentals only help to make it the masterpiece it is. Truly this songs meaning is quite gratifying of letting go accepting, and moving on in the path you was made for. Spending time alone, accepting that being alone and being you is worth it. Ultimatlely just like the climax in this song, we will be alone, and us. But eventually that clock in life that ticks towards your future, your love, and your destiny, reaches one more hour

@@davidxxl6969 To both of your points, I used to love Coldplay, then Tame Impala became my favorite band. Granted, I didn't start listening to Tame until Currents, so I'm more used to the pop sound. But Coldplay stopped being my favorite band because I thought they were kind of selling out. These days, they seem to be pandering in order to remain on top rather than sticking to what made them unique to begin with. Now, I am not saying that bands shouldn't evolve their sound and I am not saying that Coldplay puts out bad music (I still listen). I am saying that they don't put out Coldplay music. For Kevin Parker, even though his sound has taken a marked turn since Innerspeaker (my first listen was 2 years ago), it still sounds like a Tame Impala album, rather than some pop album that panders. It is still his unique creation. Regardless of how you feel about Kevin Parker's new direction, it is still his own.

The images in the cover art from this album remind me of my old house. We lived in a really broke neighborhood, and there was always construction and crap going on. There were mounds of orange colored dirt in our lawn and a lot found its way into the house, at least in the entrance. It was also a one story duplex, so it always seemed really weird compared to the houses of other families we knew. Upon entering, you would walk into a small room that seemed to perform the task of a "hallway." According to my memories, and considering the fact that I was a small child at the time, I'd say the space was about 5x3 feet. Peeling, cream colored wallpaper, with two colorful paintings sat on the front wall, both equal and opposite distances from a small shoe rack sitting on a fake tile floor (I found out it was fake because it was peeled it off once to install a replacement due to ripping.) I think one of the paintings was of fruit. Also at opposite ends of the "hall," were two doors, one leading to our house, and the opposite our neighbors'. Our neighbor's house's kitchen had bright teal walls and their bedrooms had colorful walls in purple, red, and yellow as well. The only room that didn't have colored walls was the living room. Our house was rather plain, but I remember getting in trouble for drawing on the walls once. I think I did it because I thought our house looked really boring. I got beat really bad afterwards lol. I just looked up the place on Google maps, and the shrub-like thing that used to be there is now bigger than the house itself. I thought it was going to get demolished or something, but I guess not lol.

This cover looks like a house that’s been abandoned for so long, after most of humanity has vanished.

Well it looks like the house is floating and getting covered in sand while still looking brand new so idk what all of those look like together.

On Track. Borderline. One More Hour. One More Year. Lost in Yesterday. Is it true? It Might Be Time. Patience. Breathe Deeper Tomorrow's Dust. Glimmer. Instant Destiny. Posthumous Forgiveness.

I'm dying to know how Kevin mixed the snare that starts at 5:19. The best snare I have ever heard

This song is just pure, raw, overwhelming emotion at its finest. I can't help but feel like I'm transcending while weeping heavily and feeling all the pain leave my body all at the same time. That's as close as I can get to describing the way this song makes me feel, using mere words.
