500 And Growing
Azteca Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sky isn′t always blue
The sun doesn't always shine
It′s alright to fall apart sometimes, mmm
I am not always you
And you are not always mine
It's alright to fall apart sometimes

After all is said and done
One and one still is one
When we cry, when we laugh
I am half, you are half

The heart isn't always true
And I am not always fine
We all have an angry heart sometimes

After all is said and done
One and one still is one
When we cry, when we laugh
I am half, you are half

Look how far we have come
One and one still is

One moon (one moon)
One star (one star)

I love the one we are
One thread (one thread)
One line (one line)
Let′s stand still in time

One moon (one moon)
One star (one star)
I love the one we are
One thread (one thread)
One line (one line)
That runs through our lives
After all is said and done
One and one still is one
When we cry, when we laugh
I am half, you are half
Look how far we have come




One and one still is one ah
Ooh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Azteca's song "500 And Growing" touch on the theme of human imperfection and the idea that it's okay to not have everything together all the time. The first verse talks about how the sky isn't always blue and the sun doesn't always shine, which serves as a metaphor for the fact that life isn't always easy or perfect. Sometimes it's okay to "fall apart" and not have everything figured out.


The second verse talks about how the heart isn't always true and the singer isn't always fine. This part of the song acknowledges that people can have flaws and struggle with their own emotions. Despite this, the chorus repeats that "one and one still is one" and emphasizes the unity that exists between people.


The bridge of the song brings in the idea of time and how far the singer and their partner have come together. The use of celestial objects like the moon and stars further emphasizes the idea of unity and interconnectedness. The song ultimately ends on a note of acceptance and love for the imperfections that exist within ourselves and between others.
