- One Lyrics

Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame

You say, one love, one life
When it's one need in the night
One love, we get to share it
Leaves you baby if you don't care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Well it's too late tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One!

Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head

Did I ask too much? More than a lot
You gave me nothin' now it's all I got
We're one but we're not the same
Well we hurt each other then we do it again

You say love is a temple, love a higher law
Love is a temple, love the higher law
You ask me to enter but then you make me crawl
And I can't be holdin' on to what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love, one blood
One life, you got to do what you should
One life, with each other
Sisters, brothers

One life but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One
One

What is the meaning behind One lyrics?


When we delve into what the artist truly meant to convey, U2's track 'One' is a ballad that goes through the entire cycle of emotions, from love to unity. The song opens with a very personal question, ‘Is it getting better?’ while at the same time acknowledging the existence of the bond ‘you and I’ in the middle of conflict implying that relationships are not always harmonious but it is the bond which brings back together. The 'load' that both mates would carry is metaphorically referring to the difficulties in relationships while the 'pairing' expresses the idea of being very supportive and understanding, but through this, empathy and understanding will be what keeps the bond alive. Slowly and painfully the lyrics move from love through the heartbreak and angst to empowerment and despair. Nevertheless, the song speaks positively about love and relationship, forgiveness and redemption, and unification and shared experience. The lyrics portray the emotional spectrum of love, disappointment, and inner conflict which could be considered too intense without parental control for kids. Although violence, sex, or drugs are not directly mentioned, the themes' emotional, depth, and complexity show that some topics might need parental guidance.
