Facing a plethora of legal fees, the siblings relented and changed the band name to Blondfire. They announced this decision to coincide with the release of a new acoustic live EP that would be solely available on the iTunes Music Store. It featured one song, "L-L-Love", that had been on Don't Whisper Lies, and three new songs, "Paper Doll", "Running Back", and "Fade to Pale". The new EP was more successful than the first, eventually becoming the #1 pop album on iTunes and #9 on the album charts.
We Are One
Blondfire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here within the same dimension
Follow me through all the dead-ends,
Streets that bleed through your affection
I wanna erase this town
Burn, burn, burn it up now
Closer than together now, ahhh
Ohh, til the damage is done
We are, we are, we are, we are one
We are, we are, we are, we are one
Ohh yeah, we are, we are one
We can move without convention
If love is home, then we're a mansion
Follow me through all the memories,
Autumn leaves and good intentions
I wanna erase this town
Burn, burn, burn it up now
Closer than together now, ahhh
Ohh, yeah we are we are one
Ohh, til the damage is done
We are, we are, we are, we are one
We are, we are, we are, we are one
Yeah, we are, we are one (are one)
We are oooone
I wanna erase this town
Burn, burn, burn it up now
Closer than together now, ohhh
Ohh, yeah we are we are one
Ohh, til the damage is done
We are, we are, we are, we are one
We are, we are, we are, we are one
Ohh, yeah, we are, we are one (are one)
We are one x6
The lyrics to Blondfire's "We Are One" evoke a sense of unity and solidarity amongst individuals who are different yet coexist within a common space. The opening lines "Old enough for all directions, Here within the same dimension" suggest that despite differences in age, experience and beliefs, we all live in the same world where we face similar challenges and obstacles. The second line hints that there may be alternate dimensions or realities that people can exist in, but ultimately, we are all part of the same universe.
The song seems to encourage people to stick together and support each other through tough times by following each other through "dead-ends" and "streets that bleed through your affection." The lines "Closer than together now, Ahhh" highlights the closeness that can be established when people work together and support each other. The recurring chorus, "We are, we are, we are, we are one," reinforces the message of solidarity and unity that is critical in overcoming barriers and obstacles.
The chorus's repetition suggests that there are parts of our lives where we need people to stand by us, and this is the time to rely on the support of others. "We Are One" provides an elixir to the idea that people can come together as one and overcome their struggles; it highlights our humanity and common struggle.
