One
Unity Amidst Pain: Exploring Life's Bonds
Lyrics
Is it getting better
Questioning improvement in a situation or if it remains unchanged
Or do you feel the same?
Asking about emotional consistency
Will it make it easier on you now?
Wondering if a certain action will ease the situation
You got someone to blame
Assigning blame to someone
You say one love, one life
Expressing the concept of a singular love
It's one need in the night
Describing a fundamental need
One love, get to share it
Highlighting the importance of sharing love
Leaves you baby, if you don't care for it
Warning about losing love if not cared for
Did I disappoint you?
Asking if expectations were not met
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
Questioning if a negative experience was left
You act like you never had love
Observing a lack of past love in someone's behavior
And you want me to go without
Being asked to sacrifice love
Well it's too late, tonight
Stating that it's too late to dwell on the past
To drag the past out into the light
Encouraging to bring past issues into the open
We're one, but we're not the same
Acknowledging unity but emphasizing differences
We get to carry each other
Expressing mutual support and shared burden
Carry each other
Reiterating the idea of shared responsibility
One
Repeating the concept of oneness
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Asking for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead?
Questioning the purpose of the visit
Have you come here to play Jesus?
Raising the possibility of taking on a messianic role
To the lepers in your head
Referring to inner struggles and challenges
Well, did I ask too much, more than a lot?
Questioning the fairness of expectations
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got
Expressing disappointment with the received outcome
We're one, but we're not the same
Highlighting unity but acknowledging differences
Yeah we hurt each other, then we do it again
Acknowledging the cycle of hurting and reconciling
You say love is a temple, love is a higher law
Defining love as a sacred and higher principle
Love is a temple, love is a higher law
Reiterating the sacredness and elevated nature of love
You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl
Expressing the difficulty in accepting love
And I can't keep holding on to what you got, when all you got is hurt
Letting go of painful experiences
One love
Emphasizing the singular nature of love
One blood
Emphasizing shared humanity and connection
One life
Highlighting the singularity and preciousness of life
You got to do what you should
Encouraging positive actions in life
One life
Repeating the idea of one life with shared experiences
With each other
Highlighting the familial bond among people
Sisters and brothers
Emphasizing the shared human experience
One life
Repeating the concept of a singular life with differences
But we're not the same
Reiterating the idea of shared responsibility
We get to carry each other, carry each other
Emphasizing mutual support and shared burdens
One
Repeating the concept of oneness and shared existence
