One
Unveiling the Tapestry of Love and Redemption in Pinky Dread's 'One'
Lyrics
Is it getting better
Reflecting on whether the situation has improved.
Or do you feel the same?
Asking if the emotional state remains unchanged.
Will it make it easier on you now?
Wondering if a decision will alleviate the situation.
You got someone to blame
Assigning blame to someone for the current state.
You say one love, one life (One life)
Expressing the concept of unity and shared experience.
It's one need in the night
Highlighting a fundamental need in life.
One love (one love), get to share it
Emphasizing the importance of sharing love.
Leaves you darling, if you don't care for it
Warning that neglecting love may lead to loss.
Did I disappoint you?
Inquiring if there's a sense of disappointment.
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
Questioning if actions have left a negative impression.
You act like you never had love
Observing a reluctance to embrace love.
And you want me to go without
Being asked to endure love's absence.
Well it's too late, tonight
Indicating that time for change has passed.
To drag the past out into the light
Expressing the need to confront and resolve past issues.
We're one, but we're not the same
Highlighting unity despite differences.
We get to carry each other
Stressing the mutual support between individuals.
Carry each other
Reiterating the theme of mutual support.
One, one
Repetition emphasizing unity and singularity.
One, one
-One, one
-One, one
-Have you come here for forgiveness?
Questioning if forgiveness is sought.
Have you come to raise the dead?
Asking if the purpose is to revive past grievances.
Have you come here to play Jesus?
Wondering if a messianic role is being assumed.
To the lepers in your head
Referring to inner struggles and conflicts.
Well, did I ask too much, more than a lot?
Querying if expectations were excessive.
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got
Acknowledging a lack of reciprocity in a relationship.
We're one, but we're not the same
Repeating the idea of unity despite differences.
See we hurt each other, then we do it again
Highlighting a cycle of hurting and repeating mistakes.
You say love is a temple, love is a higher law
Defining love as a sacred and transcendent concept.
Love is a temple, love is a higher law
-You ask me of me to enter, but then you make me crawl
Describing a contradictory request for entry and submission.
And I can't keep holding on to what you got, 'cause all you got is hurt
Expressing the difficulty of holding onto painful experiences.
One love
Reiterating the theme of unified love.
One blood
Introducing the elements of unity, blood, and life.
One life
Encouraging the pursuit of what is right.
You got to do what you should
Repeating the idea of one life and its responsibilities.
One life
Affirming the shared experience of life with others.
With each other
Emphasizing the collective bond of siblings.
Sisters and my brothers
Repeating the theme of one life shared among individuals.
One life
Acknowledging differences despite shared existence.
But we're not the same
Reiterating the mutual support needed in relationships.
We get to carry each other, carry each other
Repetition emphasizing unity and singularity.
One, one
-One, one
-One
-One love, one life
Concluding with the affirmation of one love and one life.
