One Shot
B.A.P비에이피 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feel depressed, walking home,
Could have used a megaphone.
Inanimate objects getting me down,
Mechanical failures all around.

I shot the Marshall,
In self-defence.
I shot the Marshall,
Got no regrets.
It shouldn't look at me that way,
Yeah, killed that amp.

Only works when I'm close to it,
Walk away it'll have a fit.
Hand pocket, pull out a fiver,
Pay the guy with a screwdriver.

But it did it once too often,
Put that amp in a coffin.
Got my Walther P.P.K,
"Go ahead amp make my day".
The judge was fair on my case,
Said "Go home boy get back to base".




"Don't smash things up just be cool
Learn electronics at night school".

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to B.A.P's One Shot paint a picture of someone who is feeling down and oppressed by the world around them. They feel as though inanimate objects are conspiring against them, with mechanical failures happening all around them. This feeling of being trapped and overwhelmed by the world is further emphasized with the line "could have used a megaphone", suggesting that they feel like they aren't being heard.


In this state of desperation, the subject of the song takes drastic action and "shoots the Marshall". This line could be interpreted in a few different ways - it could be referring to the famous Marshall amplifiers used by many musicians, or it could be a metaphor for confronting and taking down the oppressive forces in their life. Either way, they feel justified in their actions and have "no regrets" about it.


However, the subject recognizes that this kind of behavior is not sustainable. They acknowledge that the amplifier is necessary for their music ("only works when I'm close to it"), and that destruction is not a viable long-term solution. They even go as far as to mention learning electronics at night school, suggesting that they are willing to take steps to fix the problem rather than just lash out at it.


Overall, the lyrics of One Shot explore themes of frustration, desperation, and the desire for change. It's a song about feeling trapped and needing to take drastic action in order to break free, but also recognizing the need for more sustainable solutions in the long run.
