The One
Alma Lyrics

When I die
Alma reflects on her inevitable death

I hope everyone got two drinks in their hands
She hopes her life was full of parties and celebration

When I die
Alma repeats her reflective statement about death to emphasize its significance

I hope it looks like a movie from Japan
She wants her funeral to be extravagant and stylish like the ones portrayed in Japanese films

When I die, when I die
Once again, Alma emphasizes the importance of this topic to herself

I hope everyone gets on their feet and motherfucking dance
She desires for people to celebrate her life rather than mourn her death

(Die)
Alma brings attention to this somber reality while using it as a transition towards her next thoughts

I hope I spend a million for my advance
She desires to live the life of luxury and leave behind plenty of earnings to afford a lavish funeral

I hope I gave you the best sex that you had
Alma embraces her sexual liberation and desires to leave people with satisfying memories of her

When I die (die), when I die
Here, Alma seems to be grappling with the idea of death and emphasizing its finality

I hope everyone gets on their feet and motherfucking dance
She repeats this line as she reminds listeners of her desire for a celebratory funeral

No need to miss me
Here, she reminds listeners of her wish for celebration rather than mourning after her death

'Cause honey, I made history
Alma looks back at her life moments, acknowledging her achievements and the accomplishments she has achieved in her life

Come on and kiss me
She allows people to pay respects to her in a more intimate way and acknowledges the inevitable end of her life

And put me outta my, put me outta my misery
Alma hints at a deeper struggle within herself, perhaps towards the end of her life, and implores others to end her pain

Dance, fucking dance
Alma reinforces her desire for people to celebrate her life

M-m-motherfucking dance
She repeats the above line, emphasizing her point through expressive language

Don't you cry
She reminds her listeners to celebrate her life without grief once again, possibly due to the continued emphasis on her death throughout the song

If I die too young from living like a star
Alma acknowledges the risks she has taken with her life and draws attention to the possibility of dying young

There are worse than I am
She comforts her listeners by reminding them that there are other worse cases than her death

You know I love to go too far
She refers to her adventurous spirit and willingness to take risks in life

When I die, when I die (oh)
Once again, Alma acknowledges the inevitability of her own death

I hope everyone goes out that night
She wishes for people to continue celebrating her life throughout the night

Goes motherfucking hard
Alma emphasizes her desire for people to celebrate her life with as much enthusiasm and energy as possible

Final thoughts, final calls
She speaks to the feeling of urgency that comes with death and the desire to speak her mind and express her feelings before it's too late

Now you could follow us off
She acknowledges that her death will affect her loved ones, but reminds them to continue celebrating her life

But, baby, don't we all?
She ends the verse with a rhetorical question, reminding listeners that life is fleeting and death will come for everyone eventually

Ooh, baby, don't we all?
She repeats the above line, reemphasizes the rhetorical question

Dance, fucking dance
Alma reiterates her desire for people to celebrate her life energetically

M-m-motherfucking dance
She repeats this line, adding emphasis to her point
