In the grand tapestry of life, Kodaline weaves a melancholic yet hopeful narrative. "One Day" is a philosophical nudge reminding us that life's fleeting nature can often leave us feeling stuck or lost. The repetitive questioning, "How are you still holding on?" underscores our shared struggle to keep going amidst life's trials and tribulations. Yet, it isn't all doom and gloom here! The song also encourages self-reflection ("try to see yourself through the eyes of someone else") and reaching out for help when needed. But perhaps its most powerful message is the urging to not let life pass by while wallowing in isolation - because as your heart grows and your skin toughens up, you eventually start grasping what this wild ride called 'life' is all about.
