"The One I Love" by R.E.M. is widely considered to be a love song, but its dark lyrics and fiery chorus suggest otherwise. It is a song about a lover who has moved on, leaving someone behind with only a simple prop to occupy their time. The lyrics "this one goes out to the one I love" are repeated throughout the song, creating a hauntingly intense atmosphere. The chorus, which consists of the word "fire" being repeated, appears to symbolize the destruction of the relationship and the demise of the one left behind.
The song can be interpreted in various ways, but it seems to represent the destructive nature of love, how falling in love and then falling out of it can leave the other person in ruins. The lyrics suggest that the person who left may have used the one left behind as a prop or distraction until they moved on. The chorus, "fire," is a powerful image of destruction, and it is interesting to note that this word is repeated four times at the end of each verse, emphasizing how the fire is growing and consuming everything in its path.
In conclusion, "The One I Love" is a paradoxical song with a dark undertone. It appears to be a love song but is really about the pain and destruction caused by love. The lyrics evoke images of loss, abandonment, and destruction, and the chorus adds to the feeling of intensity and emotion.

Grew up as a black kid in a, shall I say, impoverished neighbourhood. My Mum’s new boyfriend introduced me to REM. Never looked back.

I'm black too. This song is about the Mona Lisa, a "simple prop" whom Da Vinci cherished and toted with him wherever he went. The Mona Lisa is actually the image of the beast from the sea discussed in the Bible's Revelations. Da Vinci himself was one head of the beast in fact. He's a vampire who can age backwards, and he's also been known as Otto von Bismarck and Adolf Hitler. These 2 statesmen were stylistically different but their underlying bone structure was identical. And the German King at the time voluntarily conferred all of his power and authority to Prince Otto for some strange reason. This unprecedented event parallels the Biblical description of the beast's ascent to power.
Here's the catch: America was originally ordained by God as a free land for whites. For the Gentiles specifically, which is virtually inclusive of all whites. Therefore I have a neutral attitude towards the fact that my great-great-great grandpa Otto is the Devil. This song fills my heart with sentimental nostalgia although I know exactly what it's about.

@@chrisvassiliou889 I personally think the RRHOF has become nothing more than a fraternity where only a select few are acceptable and I find that very annoying and disturbing...How can you leave out critically acclaimed bands like "BOSTON","BADFINGER,and"THIN LIZZY"...The RRHOF is nothing but a complete SHAM...
