Only One
Black Milk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

forgive the world today
let your fears hide away
the debts you still got to pay
belong to the earth
of ten thousand sinners
if something's left to be said
when wine has soaked in your bread
when dreams have conquered your heart
whisper the rhyme of ten thousand sinners

care for me my lonely one
I dare to say you're the only one
to gather the dreams
I need to believe in
you are the only one

if you believe what you've seen
if you forget who you've been
the tears you lost in your dreams
will water the realm of ten thousand sinners

care for me my lonely one
I dare to say you're the only one
to gather the dreams
I need to believe in
you are the only one

please don't leave the world today
still something's left upon your way
the cross that you bear
will shine on my prayer
you are the only one

so good to see you again
I follow you and your nameless heir
we'll get anywhere
on the path of ten thousand sinners

care for me my lonely one
I dare to say you're the only one
to gather the dreams
I need to believe in
you are the only one

please don't leave the world today
still something's left upon your way
the cross that you bear
will shine on my prayer
you are the only one

care for me my lonely one
I dare to say you're the only one
to gather the dreams




I need to believe in
you are the only one

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Black Milk's song Only One seem to be an uplifting message of support and encouragement to someone who may be feeling lost and alone. The opening lines, "forgive the world today, let your fears hide away, the debts you still got to pay belong to the earth," suggest that the listener should not let the weight of the world get them down and to find solace in their dreams. The singer reminds them that they are not alone, that there are "ten thousand sinners" just like them, and that if they need to speak out, to "whisper the rhyme of ten thousand sinners."


The chorus repeats the assertion that the listener is not alone in the world, that they are the "only one" capable of gathering and believing in their own dreams. The line "the tears you lost in your dreams will water the realm of ten thousand sinners" suggests that the listener's struggles are not unique, and that their own healing can inspire others.


The song's overarching message seems to be one of hope, and a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is always a way forward. It acknowledges that life is difficult, but encourages the listener to persevere and to find strength in their own dreams.
