One Small Choice
Audiovent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wonder how it all would be
If only one thing happened differently
And time will tell
What will become of us
One small choice
Just one small choice
Would I be here?
Or be gone?
And all I've ever wanted
Was just to see how it would be
One small choice
Sometimes
I wonder what it's like to fly
So easy
One small choice could end my life
I'd take the second chance
To make things right
Just one small choice
And what if I had never decided this?
Would I be here?
Or be gone?
And all I've ever wanted
Was just to see how it would be
One small choice
Need it
Feed it
Can't re-seed it
Why?
What if I had never decided this?
Would I be here?
Or be gone?
And all I've ever wanted
Was just to see how it would be
One small choice
And all I've ever wanted
Was just to see how it would be
One small choice

Line by Line Meaning
Sometimes
At times, one ponders
I wonder how it all would be
What might have been, I contemplate
If only one thing happened differently
Had a sole event taken another turn
And time will tell
The future shall unfold
What will become of us
The aftermath of our actions
One small choice
A single decision
Just one small choice
Merely a lone selection
And what if I had never decided this?
Had that choice not been made by me
Would I be here?
Would my existence still exist?
Or be gone?
Conclude my mere existence
And all I've ever wanted
The only desire I possess
Was just to see how it would be
To experience an alternate reality
Sometimes I wonder what it's like to fly
Occasionally I contemplate the sensation of aviation
So easy
Simple or Effortless
One small choice could end my life
A single decision might cease my existence
I'd take the second chance
I would utilize the opportunity given
To make things right
To rectify an inadequate situation
Need it
It is necessary
Feed it
Nurture and foster it
Can't re-seed it
Cannot regrow it once gone
Why?
For what reason?
And all I've ever wanted
The only desire I possess
Was just to see how it would be
To experience an alternate reality
One small choice
A single decision
