Everything Is One
Craig Dreyer & Pete Francis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A window on the square
A game of kiss or dare
An unblinking stare that leaves
A shadow on the sun

A lovers' leap, a widow's peak
A smile upon a rosy cheek
A Bonnie and a Clyde who seek
Their loving on the run

Everything is one
Endless and timeless
A mind at rest with everything knows
Everything is one

A pawn broker's loan
On the philosopher's stone
Is all the gold that ever shown
On trophies that you've won

A pearly pistol grip
An old abandoned ship
A pair of peasant shoes
After work is done

Everything is one
Endless and timeless
A mind at rest with everything knows
Everything is one

A string of DNA
A railyard full of trains
A hologram that contains
All you've ever done

A rabbit in a hat
Is a laboratory rat
In a maze that takes you back to
The place that you begun

Everything is one
Endless and timeless




A mind at rest with everything knows
Everything is one

Overall Meaning

These lyrics to Craig Dreyer & Pete Francis's song "Everything Is One" discuss the interconnectedness of all things. The lines describe seemingly disparate elements and link them together, suggesting that everything is part of a larger unity. The first stanza depicts a variety of experiences, from a game of "kiss or dare" to "lovers' leap" to "a shadow on the sun," but each experience is part of a larger whole. Similarly, the second stanza juxtaposes a "pawn broker's loan" with a "philosopher's stone," highlighting both the irrelevance of material possessions and the importance of deeper, philosophical connections.


The chorus of the song, "everything is one, endless and timeless," reinforces the themes of unity and connection. The song suggests that acknowledging this oneness can bring peace and a sense of completeness. The final lines, "In a maze that takes you back to the place that you begun," suggest that recognizing the interconnectedness of all things is a kind of journey, a process of self-discovery that leads one back to the beginning.

Eyes Of The Sun
Craig Dreyer & Pete Francis
Album: Everything Is One

Domestic elephant arrested
Newspaper headline reads
Throwing candy at the cameras
Or at the TV screen

See the forecast of forever
The infinite orchestra
The bug on its back
Doing exercise routines

See a comet
Nobody saw it coming
Try to catch it
It's just a taillight flashing

The more he tries and tries
The more it slips away
The more he cries and cries
Sunshine fills his eyes

See the lilies of the alley
Silver kisses in the dark
Hear the little kitten whisper
Inside the rusty car

Helpless hero rejected
Stuck in a spandex web
He's the building superintendent
Said the damsel in distress

See a comet
Nobody saw it coming
Try to catch it
It's just a taillight flashing

The more he tries and tries
The more it slips away
The more he cries and cries
Sunshine fills his eyes

Kilgrin

excellency at it's finest

Doobie Groover
