One At A Time
Whispers of Solitude: Embracing Loneliness in 'One At A Time'
Lyrics
I'm only floating on the breeze
I am drifting aimlessly, carried by the wind.
Sweet dreams are falling from the trees
Pleasant or idealized thoughts are descending naturally like leaves from trees.
I'm on my knees
I find myself in a vulnerable or submissive position.
I'm fumbling through my pockets for my keys
I am searching clumsily in my pockets for my keys.
One at a time, mama please
Requesting someone, likely 'mama,' to hand over the keys one by one.
I'm only lonely through the
Expressing loneliness specifically during the night.
Night, I'm sweating
Experiencing anxiety or distress, possibly depicted by sweating.
Fretting through the flight
Feeling uneasy or worried during a journey or process.
I'm out of the sight, I'm crying
Being out of someone's view, and the emotional response is crying.
I am flying like a kite
A metaphorical portrayal of feeling liberated or elevated like a kite while flying.
One at a time, out of sight
Reiterating the request to receive assistance or support one at a time while being out of sight.
One at a time, one at a time, one at a time
Emphasizing the plea or request for assistance in a repeated manner.
One at a time
A reminder or continuation of the plea for help.
I'm only floating on the breeze
A repetition of the earlier sentiment of drifting aimlessly in the breeze.
Sweet dreams are falling from the trees
Reiterating the imagery of pleasant dreams falling naturally from trees.
I'm on my knees
Revisiting the vulnerable or submissive position on one's knees.
I'm fumbling through my pockets for my keys
Continuing the theme of searching clumsily for keys in pockets.
One at a time, mama please
Repetition of the plea for assistance, emphasizing a gradual, one-at-a-time approach.
I'm only lonely through the night
Reiterating the experience of loneliness specifically during the night.
