- One Headlight LyricsSo long ago, I don't remember when
That's when they say I lost my only friend
Well, they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
As I listened through the cemetery trees
I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
With the long broken arm of human law
Now, it always seemed such a waste
She always had a pretty face
I wondered why she hung around this place
Hey...
Come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
But me and Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight
She said it's cold
It feels like Independence Day
And I can't break away from this parade
But there's got to be an opening
Somewhere here in front of me
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
And I seen the sun up ahead
At the county line bridge
Sayin' all is good and nothingness is dead
We'll run until she's out of breath
She ran until there's nothin' left
She hit the end, it's just her window ledge
Come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
But me and Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight
Well, this place is old
It feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
Well, it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
I think your death, it must be killin' me
Hey, hey, hey
Come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
But me and Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight
That's when they say I lost my only friend
Well, they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
As I listened through the cemetery trees
I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
With the long broken arm of human law
Now, it always seemed such a waste
She always had a pretty face
I wondered why she hung around this place
Hey...
Come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
But me and Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight
She said it's cold
It feels like Independence Day
And I can't break away from this parade
But there's got to be an opening
Somewhere here in front of me
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
And I seen the sun up ahead
At the county line bridge
Sayin' all is good and nothingness is dead
We'll run until she's out of breath
She ran until there's nothin' left
Come on try a little
Nothing is forever

Hey, hey, hey

We can drive it home

Facts about One Headlight
✔️
One Headlight is written by Jakob Dylan.
✔️
It is first released on May 21, 1996 as part of Wallflowers's album "Bringing Down the Horse" which includes 11 tracks in total. This song is the opening track on this album.
✔️
When we delve into what the artist truly meant to convey, the Wallflowers' 'One Headlight' is a poignant track that narrates a tale of losing someone, yearning for what is gone, and trying to get one's life back on track in the midst of hopelessness and demise. The picture drawn by the 'One Headlight' metaphor leads to a very hard but optimistic way of life—shaking off the feeling of being lost and doing the hard work of looking for light in the dark areas where life's struggles take place. One headlight lyrics mainly speak of heartache, loneliness, restlessness, despair, and meditation. However, the song at the same time highlights the themes of losing and mourning, quest for purpose, fight and endurance, and solitude and separation. The lyrics are centered around the issues of loss, death, and emotional struggle, thus making them inappropriate for children under 13 years. The mention of a funeral, the expression of being socially isolated, and the showing of hopelessness indicate the presence of emotional depth that requires parents' supervision.

The pain of losing you overwhelmed me. People grabbed me up-gave me amnesia. I remember our trip home-one headlight. I never forgot you, couldn't find you. Please call. I love you for eternity. Camila

This song has nothing to do with the Princess Diana tragedy but I inexorably think of her every time I hear it now.

Yea, Brandon. Thanks for the meaning. This song has more meaning to me now. I miss my ex gf so much. She committed suicide in 2008. I'll always think of you Lindsey. I love you.
