Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See the world passing by
See the look in her eye
One more time to live and I have made it mine
Leave the wise to write for they write worldly rhymes
And he who wants to fight begins the end of time...
For I have riches more than these
Desolation
Creation
Tell me someone why there's only confusion
Evolution
Tell me someone that this is all an illusion
Pollution
Tell me someone
Saturation
Tell me someone
Population
Annihilation
Revolution
Tell me someone why this talk of revolution
Confusion
Tell me someone when we're changing evolution
Illusion
Tell me someone
Conclusion
Tell me someone
Starvation
Degredation
Humiliation
Contemplation
Changes in my life
Inspiration
Elation
Changes in my life
Salvation
Changes in my life
Communication
Compassion
Solution
Look out on the hedgerow
As the world rushes by
Hear the birds sign a sigh
One more tree will fall how strong the growing vine
Turn the earth to sand and still permit no crime
How one thought will live provide the others die
For I have riches more than these
For I have riches more than these
The lyrics of C.N.BLUE's One Time is thought-provoking and reflects the human condition concerning the current state of the world with different themes presented in each stanza. The first stanza speaks about the passage of time and the desire for life. It implies that life is fleeting, and it is important to seize the moment while we can as we are gifted with one-time-life. The line "Leave the wise to write for they write worldly rhymes" means that although wisdom and knowledge are valuable, it is essential to spend our time living life and seeking richness in our lives.
The second verse focuses on the different challenges the world is currently facing, such as pollution, overpopulation, and poverty. The use of rhetorical questions such as "Tell me someone why there's only confusion" and "Tell me someone that this is all an illusion" suggests the concern and frustration within society at the current state of the world. The repetition of "tell me someone" emphasizes the need to find answers and solutions to these issues.
The last verse brings a sense of hope by providing a set of solutions covering communication, compassion, and solution or resolution. The line "For I have riches more than these" is a reminder that despite the chaos in the world, the poetic voice finds solace and richness within themselves, and it is a message to others to find their own inner richness despite adversity.
