You're the Only One
By The Sea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are the just the problems in your head?
No one else can sense the slippery slope of past relations calling you.
I hope they carry you away.
I hope they carry you far away.
Well, I expect that I have earned some anger for the looks that I've been throwing you,
But you brushed them all away like children.
You brushed them all away.
"Well, I brushed it all away, my darlings.
Just brush it all away until you change".
We're smiling 'cause we know about your son and all your precious rain.
We're happiest with you.
Now don't go and piss it all away.
Well, as soon as I get back from London, I tink I'll write a book on how I've never actually been to London.
It swallowed me and spit me out.
Half the sound was waiting here for my thoughts on all theose "word artists".
Well, I'll carry them around forever.
I'll carry them around until I break.
We're smiling 'cause you're wrong about my vain intoxcations.
Now, we're happiest with you,
So I'll just go and piss it all away.
We've come too far to just give up.
There's only one bullet left to finish the job.
The lyrics of By The Sea's song You're The Only One speak about a contemplation of one's thoughts and feelings towards their personal problems and past relationships. The opening line "There's too much time to ask yourself if there's too much time occupied on the problems in your head" insinuates that the person is overthinking things and the issues may not be as significant as they seem. The chorus suggests that the problems are all in one's head, and it is up to the person to brush them away and move on.
The second verse highlights the frustration of not understanding the other person's perspective and the possibility of their negative feelings towards the singer's actions, leading to the idea that the singer will carry them around forever until they break. The song ends with the line "There's only one bullet left to finish the job," implying that the person is at a point where they feel like giving up, but there might be a chance for redemption.
Overall, the song speaks about personal growth and the struggles that come with it. It acknowledges the pain and confusion that one may feel when reflecting on past relationships and behaviour, but ultimately, it encourages the idea that progress can only be achieved by learning from mistakes and letting go of the past.
