The One Thing I Know
Unveiling Life's Chess Game: The Wisdom in 'The One Thing I Know'
Lyrics
People I find who go on and on and on forever
Encountering people who talk endlessly, causing frustration and wasting time.
Just wasting my time they turn sunny days into bad weather
These people negatively impact pleasant days, turning them into difficult times.
Those hurricane minds whipping up a storm cuz they got nothing better
Individuals with chaotic minds creating trouble due to lack of purpose.
A small life lived scared ain't strong
Living a small, fearful life is not a sign of strength.
It's hard to plan when everything you see is a slight of hand
Planning is challenging when deception is everywhere.
And that neon quick sand lighting up the boulevards at every chance
References to deceptive allure and danger symbolized by neon quicksand on boulevards.
To make you forget you're just a pawn in a chess game played by the man
Feeling like a pawn in a larger, manipulative chess game controlled by those in power.
Where every good right seems wrong
Doubting what is traditionally considered good and right.
The one thing, the one thing I know
Repetition emphasizing a central theme: the speaker's confidence in a specific piece of knowledge.
The one thing, the one thing I know
-The one thing, the one thing I know
-The one thing, the one thing I know
-You've gotta run it right back, looking for the clues of the first attack
Reflecting on past experiences to find clues and lessons after an initial setback.
When your innocence crashed, forgetting every question you wanted to ask
Forgetting important questions after a loss of innocence.
Gotta take off the mask, dive into those places that hurt so bad
Facing and confronting painful memories and experiences masked by pretense.
To build yourself up brand new
Transforming oneself after facing and overcoming personal challenges.
To start over again, you gonna have to work hard to make friends
Starting anew requires effort, especially in building genuine connections.
With the kid who built a life on pretend you tried to forget about since you were ten
Reconnecting with a childhood friend whose existence was deliberately forgotten.
You won't break but you'll bend around the corner into new light scattering
Remaining resilient in the face of challenges, adapting to new situations.
The choice is always up to you
Empowering statement emphasizing personal choice and responsibility.
The one thing, the one thing I know
Reiteration of a central theme, reinforcing the speaker's conviction in a particular piece of knowledge.
The one thing, the one thing I know
-The one thing, the one thing I know
-The one thing, the one thing I know
-If you never let anyone in, you're never gonna let the light out
Isolation prevents personal growth and understanding.
If you never try a little bit of sin you're never gonna find yourself
Encouragement to explore and take risks for self-discovery.
So you'd better find a way to love the rocks inside that can turn to gold
Finding value in embracing one's flaws, turning weaknesses into strengths.
That's only way you're gonna love growing old
Embracing the aging process through learning and personal development.
The one thing, the one thing I know
Repetition emphasizing the speaker's confidence in a specific piece of knowledge.
The one thing, the one thing I know
-The one thing, the one thing I know
-The one thing, the one thing I know
-The one thing, the one thing I know
-The one thing, the one thing I know
