The Only One
Soul's Quest: Finding Fulfillment in Divine Love
Lyrics
Under every tree
Symbolic representation of various aspects of life or experiences.
On top of every hill
Metaphorical depiction of life's challenges or achievements.
You have found me there
Divine presence and guidance in different situations.
Begging for a thrill
Seeking excitement or fulfillment.
Drinking from the vine
Metaphor for indulging in life's experiences.
Eating from the tree
Allusion to the Garden of Eden and the choices made there.
You swore on Your life
Promising that following a certain path will lead to destruction.
Would be the death of me
Emphasizing the seriousness of the consequences.
‘Cause all of my lovers are found in my billfold
Material possessions symbolizing fleeting or superficial relationships.
They rest on my mantel
Displaying relationships as trophies but struggling to understand true satisfaction.
I can’t get a handle on what satisfies to me
Frustration and confusion regarding personal fulfillment.
If You’re the bread then fill me up
Desire for spiritual nourishment and fulfillment.
If You’re the water fill my cup
Expressing the need for divine sustenance.
‘Til lesser loves are washed out to sea
Seeking to eliminate lesser, unsatisfactory desires.
Why can’t I see, oh, You’re the only one who satisfies me
Frustration with the inability to recognize the sole source of satisfaction.
Well the news has spread
Spread of a significant revelation or truth.
Men ain’t meant for bread
Highlighting a deeper purpose beyond material needs.
But for every word
Recognition of the authority and importance of divine words.
Coming from Your head
Understanding the conflict between intellectual and emotional decisions.
But my head and heart
Inner conflict between desires to escape and to hold on.
Are very different things
Conflict between rational and emotional inclinations.
One tells me to run
Internal struggle between running away and staying committed.
And one tells me to cling
Emphasizing conflicting messages from the mind and heart.
‘Cause all of my gods they have at signs and hash tags
Idols or priorities marked by contemporary symbols.
But I’m raisin’ my white flag
Surrendering and acknowledging the need for divine intervention.
‘Cause I’m needin’ what You have to give me
Recognizing the necessity of receiving what only the divine can offer.
I’ve drank water
Metaphor for engaging in unfulfilling or degrading experiences.
From sewers and gutters
Experiencing shame and regret from past choices.
Too shameful to utter
Contrasting divine fulfillment with past negative experiences.
But You’re not like the others
Acknowledging the uniqueness and purity of the divine.
So, if You’re the bread then fill me up
Reiterating the need for spiritual fulfillment.
If You’re the water fill my cup
Expressing the desire for divine sustenance.
‘Til lesser loves are washed out to sea
Seeking to let go of inferior desires and distractions.
Why can’t I see, You’re the only one
Questioning the inability to recognize the exclusive source of satisfaction.
You’re the only one
Emphasizing the uniqueness of the divine as the only source of satisfaction.
Father, Spirit, Son
Addressing the divine in various aspects (Father, Spirit, Son).
Who satisfies me
Affirmation that the divine alone satisfies.
