"This will be the day" analysis but for the entire series
"They see you as small and helpless, they see you as just a child. Surprised when they find out that a warrior will run wild."
Ruby was viewed as a child for being younger than the rest of the class. However, they quickly learned not to underestimate her ability as a huntress and a leader.
Prepare for your greatest moment; prepare for your finest hour. The dreamed that you've longed for is suddenly about to flower."
This may apply to Ozma. He wanted to see Salem's defeat for so long and thought it impossible, but has seen victories he once thought impossible against Salem's henchmen, and will eventually witness the end of the war and their curse.
"We are lightning straying from the thunder, miracles of ancient wonder."
This refers to both the Maidens and Silver-eyed Warriors. The Maidens can literally manipulate lighting, and the silver-eyes have been referred to as a miracle in the actual show. Both are also ancient.
"This will be the day we've waited for. This will be the day we open up the door."
The Relics are all hidden behind doors, and opening said doors is always a crucial moment to the series.
"I don't want to hear your absolution; hope you're ready for a revolution."
There's multiple interpretations for this line; the obvious being Ruby resisting Salem, but it could also be about Blake/Yang denying Adam's reign, Weiss rebelling against her father, and RWBY turning against Ironwood.
"Welcome to a world of new solutions. Welcome to a world of bloody evolution."
In order to save Remnant, the heroes have to do things that the old generations have never thought of before. They reunited humanity against Salem, which is a new solution, because the entirety of the world never knew of her existence before now. Ruby's escape plan in Volume 8 was also entirely heard of, but it saved many lives who would've perished if Ironwood's plan succeeded.
The Maiden powers transfer when the wielder dies hence a blood evolution. Multiple heroes and villains have died throughout the series which effected Remnant at large.
"In time, your heart will open minds, a story will be told, and victory is in a simple soul!"
The heroes managed to sway multiple people into doing the right thing who were previously afraid to (The White Fang, Ozma, Emerald) to name a few.
As for the story being told, you can consider Alyx's adventure the story. Ruby eventually emerged victorious in the Ever After despite the challenges before her and made her fairy tale have a hopeful ending.
"Your world needs a great defender. Your world's in the way of harm. You want a romantic life; a fairy tale full of charm."
Ruby was willing to rise up to the challenge even after knowing Salem was impossible to kill. She said in volume 1 she just wanted life to be like a fairy tale, but being a hero has proven to be much more difficult than she ever imagined. The actual fairy tale she ended up within couldn't be further away from what she once dreamed of.
'Charm' also makes me think of Qrow since his whole arc has been about learning how to view things in a different perspective, leading to him eventually learning how to control his semblance.
"Beware that the light is fading; beware if the dark returns. The world is unforgiving; even brilliant lights will cease to burn."
This was meant to hint at how the villains are not to be underestimated, and foreshadow the character deaths of Volume 3. We were so naive back then, and did not believe the show would ever get this dark, but CRWBY tried to warn us.
"Legends scatter. Day and night will server. Hope and peace are lost forever."
Despite the heroes best efforts, multiple kingdoms were lost. At the ends of both Volume 3 and Volume 8, it was hard to retain hope for the future when no good was in sight.
