One by One
Unveiling Life's Puzzle: White Cliffs' 'One by One' Narrative
Lyrics
Look at all the units
Observing all the individuals or components
Taken one by one
Considering each one separately
Asking all their partners
Inquiring with their respective partners
Is it me or should we run
Questioning whether they should escape or face a situation
Let's not ask the Jerry's
Deciding not to involve certain individuals ("Jerry's")
Or the boys will be too frank
Warning that discussing matters with certain people ("boys") might be too straightforward
Jimmy's got no trouble
Stating that Jimmy faces no problems and consistently pays his rent
Always pays his rent
Highlighting Jimmy's financial stability
Isn't it lovely
Expressing admiration or approval
You wouldn't even know
Pointing out that something positive is not immediately apparent
I got my wits about me
Asserting awareness and alertness
All part of the show
Emphasizing that challenges or difficulties are part of the performance or experience
Tell me what you want
Requesting information about desires or wishes
The truth is what you're asking
Stating that the desired response is the truth
The truth is what you'll get
Reiterating the importance of truth and its inevitability
And time continues passing
Highlighting the continuous progression of time
Everyone's inline
Everyone is in a queue or following a similar path
Uniforms the same
Uniformity in appearance or behavior
Hop the picket fence
Suggesting a collective action or decision ("Hop the picket fence")
Well all take the blame
Accepting responsibility as a group
Isn't it lovely
Repeating admiration or approval
You wouldn't even know
Reiterating that something positive may not be immediately evident
I got my wits about me
Reaffirming awareness and alertness
All part of the show
Emphasizing that challenges or difficulties are part of the performance or experience
