One of Us
Disney Lyrics

Disception
Disgrace
Evil as clear as the scar on his face

Disception (An outrage)
Disgrace (For Shame)
He asked for trouble the moment he came
Disception (An outrage)
(He cant change his stripes)
Disgrace (For shame)
(You know these outsider types)
Evil as clear as the scar on his face
(See you later agitator)

Disception (An outrage)
(Just leave us alone)
Disgrace (For shame)
(Traitor go back with your own)
He asked for trouble the moment he came
(See you later agitator)

Born in greif
Raised in hate
Helpless to defy his fate
Let him run
Let him live
But do not forget what we cannot forgive

And he is not one of us
He has never been one of us
He is not part of us
Not our kind

Someone once lied to us
Now were not so blind
For we knew he would do what he's done
And we know that he will never be one of us

He is not one of us

Disception
Disgrace

Disception
Disgrace





Disception

Overall Meaning

The song, One of Us by Disney, is a powerful and poignant piece that talks about deception, disgrace, and the need for group identity. The song seems to be an accusation in the form of a chorus, with the repetition of the words "Deception" and "Disgrace" making the listener feel like they're being scolded. The lyrics surmise that there is someone who has come into the group who is seen as evil because of the scar he carries. The outsider is viewed as an "agitator" who cannot "change his stripes."


The song's context is unclear, but what is clear is that the outsider is not welcomed by the group. The lyrics also seem to suggest that he has done something that the group cannot forgive, and that they see him as someone who was "born in grief" and "raised in hate." Despite this, the song talks about letting him run and live, but the group will never forget what they cannot forgive.


Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on how people view outsiders, and how difficult it can be for someone to integrate into a group once they are deemed an outsider. It is a powerful message about how people can hold onto prejudices and preconceptions, no matter how wrong they may be.
