500 Seconds Before Sunset
David Maxim Micic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sky isn′t always blue
The sun doesn't always shine
It′s alright to fall apart sometimes, mmm
I am not always you
And you are not always mine
It's alright to fall apart sometimes

After all is said and done
One and one still is one
When we cry, when we laugh
I am half, you are half

The heart isn't always true
And I am not always fine
We all have an angry heart sometimes

After all is said and done
One and one still is one
When we cry, when we laugh
I am half, you are half

Look how far we have come
One and one still is

One moon (one moon)
One star (one star)

I love the one we are
One thread (one thread)
One line (one line)
Let′s stand still in time

One moon (one moon)
One star (one star)
I love the one we are
One thread (one thread)
One line (one line)
That runs through our lives
After all is said and done
One and one still is one
When we cry, when we laugh
I am half, you are half
Look how far we have come




One and one still is one ah
Ooh

Overall Meaning

In David Maxim Micic's song "500 Seconds Before Sunset," the lyrics express the idea that life is not always perfect, but it's okay to fall apart and have flaws. The sky isn't always blue, and the sun doesn't always shine, representing that life has its ups and downs. The line "I am not always you, and you are not always mine" shows that people are not always perfect for each other, and it's okay to let go and move on. The lyrics also express that despite the imperfections, we are still one, shown by the repeated line "one and one still is one." We are all connected by the same thread, and that thread runs through our lives.


The contrast between the imperfect parts of life and the idea of oneness is interesting because it shows that while life is not always perfect, we are all still connected in some way. The idea that it's okay to fall apart sometimes is a refreshing take on mental health, showing that it's alright to not always be okay. The repeated phrase "one and one still is one" is a powerful message of togetherness, emphasizing that we are all connected despite our differences.
