The Only One I Want To Hear
Harmony Amidst Chaos: The Only Voice That Matters
Lyrics
So many voices crying out
There are numerous voices expressing themselves.
But only one I want to hear
Among all those voices, there's only one specific voice the speaker desires to listen to.
And while the joyless scream and shout
While some people express themselves in a joyless manner by screaming and shouting,
We can make them disappear
the speaker believes they can ignore or eliminate those negative voices.
We could be filled with love or hatred
There's a potential for various emotions like love or hatred.
Irreverent or sacred
Actions or feelings might be disrespectful or respectful, profane or holy.
Starry eyed or jaded
People may be full of wonder or skepticism.
Just you and me
The speaker desires a connection with a specific person, away from the multitude of voices.
So many voices crying out
Similar to the first line, numerous voices are expressing themselves.
But only one I was to hear
The speaker reiterates their desire to hear only a specific voice among all others.
And while the joyless scream and shout
Despite the joyless noise made by some, the speaker believes they can make those voices vanish.
Oh we can make them disappear
There's a possibility of supporting each other, keeping promises made, and staying together.
We could be each other's ballast
Metaphorically, they could provide stability and support for each other.
Keep every word we've promised
Promising to keep all the commitments and words shared between them.
Do everything in harness
Doing everything together, united and connected.
Just you and me
The desire for an exclusive bond between the speaker and a specific person.
So many voices crying out
Repeating the theme of many voices expressing themselves.
But only one I want to hear
The speaker reasserts their longing to hear only one particular voice.
And while the joyless scream and shout
Despite the negative noise, the speaker believes they can eliminate it.
Well we can make them disappear
Describing the different possible emotional states: undignified or serious, joyful or sorrowful.
Undignified or solemn
Identifying a dichotomy between being part of the solution or contributing to the problem.
Gleeful or crestfallen
The desire to connect intimately with a specific person amidst all the chaos.
The solution or the problem
Just you and me
Similar to the previous stanzas, multiple voices are expressing themselves.
So many voices crying out
Despite the negative uproar, the speaker believes they can make those voices fade away.
But only one I was to hear
Reinforcing the idea of supporting each other, keeping promises, and staying united.
And while the joyless scream and shout
Symbolizing stability and support in a relationship.
Oh we can make them disappear
Promising to uphold commitments and face challenges together.
We could be each other's ballast
Desiring an exclusive connection with a specific individual amid the multitude of voices.
Keep every word we've promised
Do everything in harness
Repeating the commitment to support, keep promises, and act together as a united front.
Just you and me
Expressing the desire for an exclusive bond with a particular person amid the surrounding noise.
