Not The Only One
Reckoning Echoes: Unveiling Betrayal in 'Not The Only One'
Lyrics
That was my last chance to say goodbye
Expressing regret for missing the opportunity to say goodbye.
You know what you did
Accusing the person of wrongdoing and emphasizing awareness of their actions.
Don't act surprised
Asserting that the person should not act surprised about the consequences of their actions.
You took me into a dangerous place
Describing being led into a perilous situation by the person.
And when I get the feeling I can't get away
Feeling trapped and unable to escape from the negative situation.
Did what I did 'cause you know It's an eye for an eye
Justifying retaliatory actions with the principle of "an eye for an eye."
An eye for an eye
Repeating the idea of seeking revenge or justice in a proportional manner.
An eye for an eye
Reiterating the concept of reciprocal retaliation.
You're not the only one
Asserting that the person is not the only one who can act in a certain way.
I can do this too
Declaring the ability to respond similarly to the person's actions.
You're not the only one
Emphasizing that others can also take similar actions.
So call me when you can apologize
Suggesting that an apology is necessary for reconciliation.
I can see right through your slick disguise
Claiming to see through the person's attempts to deceive.
You took me into a dangerous place
Repeating the experience of being led into a dangerous situation by the person.
And when I get the feeling I can't get away
Reiterating the feeling of being trapped and unable to escape.
Did what I did 'cause you know It's an eye for an eye
Justifying retaliatory actions based on the principle of reciprocity.
An eye for an eye
Repeating the idea of seeking revenge or justice in a proportional manner.
An eye for an eye
Reiterating the concept of reciprocal retaliation.
You're not the only one
Asserting that the person is not the only one who can act in a certain way.
I can do this too
Declaring the ability to respond similarly to the person's actions.
You're not the only one
Emphasizing that others can also take similar actions.
Let it out
Encouraging the person to express their emotions or frustrations.
'Cause I still love you but you have to know
Expressing enduring love but insisting on not tolerating mistreatment.
I won't take this lying down no more
Refusing to passively accept mistreatment any longer.
You took me into a dangerous place
Repeating the experience of being led into a dangerous situation by the person.
And when I get the feeling I can't get away
Reiterating the feeling of being trapped and unable to escape.
Did what I did 'cause you know It's an eye for an eye
Justifying retaliatory actions based on the principle of reciprocity.
An eye for an eye
Repeating the idea of seeking revenge or justice in a proportional manner.
An eye for an eye
Reiterating the concept of reciprocal retaliation.
An eye for an eye
Continuing the theme of seeking revenge or justice in a proportional manner.
An eye for an eye
Emphasizing the idea of reciprocal retaliation.
You're not the only one
Asserting that the person is not the only one who can act in a certain way.
I can do this too
Declaring the ability to respond similarly to the person's actions.
Am I the only one who can get to you?
Pondering whether the person is affected by the retaliatory actions.
You're not the only one
Emphasizing that others can also take similar actions.
I can do this too
Declaring the ability to respond similarly to the person's actions.
You're not the only one
Reiterating that the person is not the only one who can act in a certain way.
