One day
mind.in.a.box Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I stare up at the clouds,
Slowly bring myself to rest
Near a peaceful plain.
Hoping and waiting for some sign
Anything will do...
I just wander in my soul,
In the search for you.
"Please, please just go away,
And let your mind forget
About this dreary day."
Just one day in the life of a fool
Just one day in the life of a fool...
The afternoon will pass my by
As I reach the wall,
That stretches out across the land
That I knew so well.
And in a garden there
All the flowers bloom.
Reminders of a growing rose
Always full of thorns...
You would say,
"Please, please don't cry this way"
Slowly turn,
As the moon shows her face.
Just one day in the life of a fool
Just one day in the life of a fool
In the life of a fool
In the life of a fool...
Darkness drapes itself on me,
As I'm heading home.
Carrying roses in my hands,
I'm thinking of you.
How you smiled
And kissed my face.
Thought I heard you,
I thought I heard you say:
Just one day in the life of a fool
Just one day in the life of a fool
Just one day in the life of a fool
Just one day in the life of a fool
Just one day
Just one day in the life of a fool
Just one day
In the life of a fool
(Just one day)

As the afternoon wears on, the singer reaches a wall that represents an obstacle in their search. The garden nearby serves as a symbol of the relationship they once had. The flowers, while blooming and beautiful, also hold the hidden danger of thorns, a metaphor for the pain and heartbreak that came with the relationship. The singer hears the voice of their lost love, urging them to move on and forget, but they cannot.
The song concludes with the singer returning home, holding roses and thinking of their lost love, but they hear their voice once again, offering a glimmer of hope that they may one day find what they are seeking. Overall, the lyrics to “One Day” paint a vivid and emotional picture of the struggle to move on from a broken relationship and the drive to find closure and peace.

Here are the great lyrics:
one day you were just there, no one knew why or from where.
you came and never left, but still I felt bereft.
this day, now long ago, I thought to reap you must sow.
days came and went away, and life felt old and gray.
you were my glimmer of hope, the one straw for me to grasp.
I thought you would help me cope, no matter it could not last.
one day was all it took, to change my life forever.
one day and my world shook, and it was now or never.
one day was all I got, and there would be nothing more.
one day I chose my lot, this is it, forevermore.
I never made the choice, as though I had lost my voice.
I got carried away, not aware I had to pay.
I thought I was sincere, so why am I still here?
I know I could just leave, but can I still believe?
I needed more than a spark, to make me rise from the floor.
you were the fire in the dark, that burned me down right to my core.
one day was all it took, to change my life forever.
one day and my world shook, and it was now or never.
one day was all I got, and there would be nothing more.
one day I chose my lot, this is it, forevermore.
only one day.

TheDimension451
This formula of notes and noises combines to make the perfect watery, colorful, positively charged emotional reaction sparking in the cells of my transparent mind aligned with the water filled tissue encased in the bones that I move around like a puppet hanging from strings... Long live M I A B
Parker Pennies
Could I possibly love this song more than I do? Platinum.
Cronusian
Probably their best. Certainly my own favorite.
