We Might Be One For A Day
De/Vision Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I may well be satisfied
Stay a while
Sweet little child
Taste some of the poisoned fume
Leave this world
Enrich this room

We might be one for a day

Angels take
Our souls away
Reaching heights, we won't get caught
Gods lend wings
To tainted hearts

Feel the pain deep inside
From your head to your feet
From the left to the right
But no one loves

When we earn all lover's pay
Father, hide
My love away
Searching for an alibi
Listen to
Your spirit's eye

Feel the pain deep inside
From your head to your feet

From the left to the right
But no one loves and no one knows

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to De/Vision's "We Might Be One For A Day" are suggestive of a temporary escape from reality. The first two lines "I may well be satisfied/Stay a while" reflect a desire for a respite, to stay in a moment and enjoy it for as long as possible. The mention of a "Sweet little child" could represent innocence and the desire to relive youth without the complexities of adulthood. However, the following lines seem to juxtapose the previous ones when it says "Taste some of the poisoned fume/Leave this world/Enrich this room". The poisoned fume refers to a toxic environment that the person wants to leave behind, and they want to enrich the current place they are in, indicating that perhaps they want to make a difference in the world before their temporary escape.

The chorus "We might be one for a day/Angels take/Our souls away/Reaching heights, we won't get caught/Gods lend wings/To tainted hearts" suggests the idea of being away from the world to reach a higher, purer state. It could mean that the person wants to have a spiritual experience, to feel connected to a higher being. The idea of "tainted hearts" could mean that the person doesn't feel pure enough to reach higher heights.

The lyrics "Feel the pain deep inside/From your head to your feet/From the left to the right/But no one loves/When we earn all lover's pay/Father, hide/My love away/Searching for an alibi/Listen to/Your spirit's eye" suggest that the person is feeling emotional pain that is all-consuming. However, the idea of "lover’s pay" suggests that they are looking for love and are ready to give their all for it. The line "Father hide my love away" could mean that the person wants to keep their love hidden, either from themselves or others, and "Searching for an alibi" could mean that they are seeking justification for their actions.

Overall, "We Might Be One For A Day" is a song that explores the complexities of human emotions and desires for temporary escape.
