One Love
Unveiling Love's Essence in a Digital Age
Lyrics
Just another day
Expressing the mundane nature of the day.
That they're throwing out the way
Rejecting or discarding certain aspects of life.
Watching profiles online
Observing social media profiles.
They sit there wasting their time
Critiquing people spending time aimlessly online.
With all the girls that are fair
Referring to attractive women.
And all the young men way out there
Referring to young men.
Dig for diamonds in a mine
Symbolizing the search for valuable relationships.
All filled with coal
Highlighting the challenge of finding valuable connections in a difficult environment.
They can't see their hearts' desires
Emphasizing the inability to recognize true desires.
Are right before their eyes
Asserting that genuine love is within reach.
Outside that web of lies that'll
Describing a deceptive online world.
Never give them a love to hold
Stating that falsehoods won't provide meaningful love.
For them to feel
Expressing the need for a tangible emotional connection.
One love that's for real
Desire for authentic, lasting love.
Yes I see it all the time
Observing the frequent occurrence of losing things online.
How they lose it all on line
Noting the loss of valuable assets on the internet.
Watching people wasting lives
Criticizing people squandering their lives online.
Don't they ever wonder why?
Raising the question of why people don't reflect on their actions.
Oh the world is oh so big
Commenting on the vastness of the world.
And your life is oh so brief
Highlighting the brevity of life.
You dig for diamonds in a mine
Metaphorically searching for valuable connections.
All filled with coal
Reiterating the difficulty of finding true connections.
They can't see their hearts' desires
Reiterating the theme of not recognizing genuine desires.
Are right before their eyes
Reaffirming that true love is within sight.
Outside that web of lies that'll
Highlighting the deceptive nature of online interactions.
Never give them a love to hold
Stating that falsehoods won't lead to meaningful love.
For them to feel
Expressing the need for a tangible emotional connection.
One love that's for real
Desire for authentic, lasting love.
I'm watching the fire but I won't get burned
Observing a situation without getting personally affected.
You can't get no higher if that's the best you've learned
Commenting on the limitations of knowledge or experience.
Why not wake up from this trance
Encouraging awakening from a negative state.
The world is going you the chance
Asserting that the world offers opportunities for positive change.
Go tisk it all and the love will be returned
Encouraging taking risks for the possibility of love.
