One of Us
Aviators & Lectro Dub Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell of what she wants to be
Only one of her friends know
And she tries to let it go
So dissatisfied on how
She couldn't change how she turned out
Well kept secrets deep inside
But that passion's hard to hide
Pretend to laugh and not provoke
But what if she could get that chance
Experience her life enhanced?
At least to her she wouldn't mind
Leaving everything behind
Reality can be so cruel
And she know's the truth
She can't be the one she wants to be
She just wants to look like you and me
Her obsession's not one to discuss
She just wants to look like one of us
Anything she'd sacrifice
To see the world through human eyes
Her desire is one in vain
One that no one can explain
To walk among the legends told
To live in the days of old
She wishes too hard sometimes
For a destiny she'll never find
Despising life within her skin
Hating the place that she's in
Her obsession's dangerous
The need to be one of us
She's lost her identity
Now she craves humanity
It's a disease of the mind
But she knows the truth
She can't be the one she wants to be
She just wants to look like you and me
Her obsession's not one to discuss
She just wants to look like one of us
Lost something she's trying to find
Looks like now she's lost her mind
She's insane, dangerous
Desperate to be one of us
Locked up in her mental cage
Pony for all of her days
Given up on live itself
Sanity up on the shelf
Oh, she seems to be confused
She's broken, self-abused
Lost inside a wish that simply won't come true
She needs to get it through
That she's not like me and you
She's got to wake up and accept the truth
She can't be the one she wants to be
She just wants to look like you and me
Her obsession's not one to discuss
She just wants to look like one of us

Fabled tales in history
Stories of the past
Tell of what she wants to be
Narrate her deepest desires
Only one of her friends know
She confided in someone close
And she tries to let it go
Even though it's hard, she attempts to forget
So dissatisfied on how
Feeling unhappy about
She couldn't change how she turned out
She can't alter her physical appearance
Well kept secrets deep inside
Her hidden thoughts and feelings
But that passion's hard to hide
Yet her desire is intense and difficult to conceal
Wide dismissal as a joke
Others laugh and don't believe her
Pretend to laugh and not provoke
She doesn't want to upset anyone
But what if she could get that chance
What if she could change her appearance
Experience her life enhanced?
Would she feel better about herself?
At least to her she wouldn't mind
To her, it would be worth it
Leaving everything behind
Abandoning her old self
Reality can be so cruel
Life is often harsh
And she knows the truth
She's aware of her situation
She can't be the one she wants to be
She can't change her appearance
She just wants to look like you and me
She desires to have a normal appearance
Her obsession's not one to discuss
Her fixation shouldn't be talked about
Anything she'd sacrifice
She's willing to do anything
To see the world through human eyes
To experience life as a normal person
Her desire is one in vain
Her wish is hopeless
One that no one can explain
No one understands her yearning
To walk among the legends told
To live in a time of myth and legend
To live in the days of old
To be part of a bygone era
She wishes too hard sometimes
Her longing is too strong at times
For a destiny she'll never find
She's searching for something unattainable
Despising life within her skin
Hating her own appearance
Hating the place that she's in
Disliking her current situation
Her obsession's dangerous
Her fixation is harmful
The need to be one of us
Her longing to be normal
She's lost her identity
Her sense of self is gone
Now she craves humanity
She wants to be a normal person
It's a disease of the mind
It's a mental illness
But she knows the truth
She's aware of the reality
Lost something she's trying to find
She's looking for something she's lost
Looks like now she's lost her mind
It seems she's gone insane
She's insane, dangerous
She's mentally unstable and a threat
Desperate to be one of us
She's in a desperate state to be normal
Locked up in her mental cage
She's trapped in her own mind
Pony for all of her days
She'll be institutionalized forever
Given up on live itself
She's given up on life
Sanity up on the shelf
Her mental health is non-existent
Oh, she seems to be confused
She appears to be lost
She's broken, self-abused
She's mentally and emotionally shattered
Lost inside a wish that simply won't come true
She's lost in a hopeless dream
She needs to get it through
She must accept the truth
That she's not like me and you
She's different from normal people
She's got to wake up and accept the truth
She needs to face reality

"Her obsession's not one to discuss"
Um, then why are you writing a song about it?
@reubenforever1
I think thats an complex way to say it's taboo. As ever what people don't want to discuss is what needs to be talked about most.

You know, I don't like those people that immediately dislike wonderful songs just because a brony made it. Don't be so hypocritical, seriously.
