One Life One Love
[unknown] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If she'd fallen in love, first blood, you didn't notice
It's not love, it's a close call
You poor thing you've got
To stop calling it love
You've got to be ignorin'
The first girl
She's so clever
She said

She could be the love of your life
Just for one night

She wants you, and love don't come into the equation
What she loves, is sex in parked cars and the Photo Booth at Cha Cha
She's not a hologram, got damn, you can't ignore it
She's such fun
She says "don't run", she says

She could be the love of your life
Just for one night

You're cornered, and she just needs revolution
That's cute, but she's no pearl of Gisborne





She could be the love of your life
Just for one night

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of [unknown]'s song One Life One Love delve into the complexities of relationships and how sometimes, what we think is love may not actually be so. The first few lines indicate that sometimes we may mistake a close call or infatuation for love, highlighting the importance of taking a step back and analyzing our feelings. The singer of the song is warned to stop calling it love and to ignore the first girl he's fallen for. This cautionary advice is reinforced as the song continues.


The second verse takes a more direct approach in explaining the situation the singer has found himself in. The woman in question is a sexual being who is not interested in love or any romantic inclination. She simply wants sex in cars and photo booths. The singer is warned again not to be fooled by her charms as his attraction to her may only be temporary.


The lyrics also touch upon the idea of being cornered in a relationship, with the woman needing a revolution. This may refer to her not wanting to be tied down or constrained in any way. In the end, the song concludes with the woman being a possible love interest for only one night, further emphasizing the fleeting nature of the relationship.
