The One
Embrace the Storm: Finding Light in the Shadows with Orpheum Black's 'The One'
Lyrics
Open me up
Invitation to reveal inner emotions or thoughts
I don't wanna leave you alone in the darkness
Desire to stay together in difficult times
Open me up
Repeat of the invitation to open up emotionally
Let me cast a shadow where love and hate embrace
Request to bring balance between love and hate
'cause it feels so untenable
Expressing emotional pain and difficulty
My world is running out of sense
Feeling of losing direction or purpose
Without you
Emphasizing the importance of a significant other
But don't be afraid
Encouragement not to fear challenging situations
Of the storm
Metaphorically referencing difficulties as a storm
I'll be your shelter
Promise to provide comfort and protection
And your warmth
Promise to offer support and warmth
We are the same
Identification with the listener, highlighting similarity
Hear my words
Request to listen and understand the speaker's perspective
Let it rain
Acceptance of difficulties or challenges
Rain down on me
Desire for emotional release or cleansing
Keep holding on
Encouragement to persevere despite challenges
Be sure the sun will rise again
Assurance of hope for a better future
You're not alone
Reassurance of companionship during tough times
Against the shadows you will stand
Strength in facing difficulties
I see myself in you
Recognizing similarities or shared characteristics
(and won't give up the fight)
Commitment to continue fighting or persevering
Keep holding on
Reiteration of encouragement to persist
The sun will rise again, for you
Reaffirmation of hope for a brighter future
You can design your own world
Empowerment to shape one's reality
Achieve the impossible
Encouragement to strive for the extraordinary
Don’t be afraid of the storm
Reiteration of not fearing difficult situations
I see myself in you
Recognition of shared traits or qualities
I see myself in you
Repeated recognition of shared traits or qualities
I see myself
Reiteration of self-identification within the listener
Keep holding on
Reiteration of encouragement to persevere
Be sure the sun will rise again for you
Reassurance of hope for a better future
