Once In A Lifetime
Edvika Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

An early morning misty cloud
Amazing truth, reflecting vibes
I felt your body warmth inside me
Without thinking of an illusion
I wish it turns real
Between me and you

An innocent wink that made me faint

All of a sudden, you were gone
I felt your body warmth inside me
Without thinking of an illusion
I wish it turns real
Between me and you

Once in a lifetime
Some changes happen
Once in a lifetime
You could be the one to
set me on fire
Once in a lifetime
Some changes happen
To be with you, only you, oh
Once in a lifetime
Ooooooh

An early morning misty cloud
Amazing truth, reflecting vibes
I felt your body warmth inside me
Without thinking of an illusion
I wish it turns real
Between me and you

Once in a lifetime
Some changes happen
Once in a lifetime
You could be the one to
set me on fire
Once in a lifetime
Some changes happen
To be with you, only you, oh
Once in a lifetime
Ooooooh

I felt your body warmth inside me
Without thinking of an illusion
I wish it turns real
Between me and you

Once in a lifetime
Some changes happen
Once in a lifetime
You could be the one to
set me on fire
Once in a lifetime
Some changes happen
To be with you, only you, oh

Once in a lifetime
Ooooooh

Line by Line Meaning

An early morning misty cloud
A hazy cloud on a morning indicates that the situation is unclear and obscure, just like the singer's feelings towards the other person.

Amazing truth, reflecting vibes
Though the situation seemed unclear, there was something about the other person that resonated with the singer, and this is the truth that the singer is reflecting upon.

I felt your body warmth inside me
The singer had a physical connection with the other person that convinced them that there was something more meaningful there.

Without thinking of an illusion
The artist isn't entirely sure whether the connection was real or simply an illusory feeling based on a physical attraction.

I wish it turns real
The artist wants to overlook the uncertainty and believe that there is more to the connection than simply physical attraction. They are looking for something real.

Between me and you
This is a clear reference to the bond between the singer and the other person. It's just between them, and no one else is involved.

An innocent wink that made me faint
The singer might have felt a subtle gesture or interaction from the other person that made the singer feel weak in the knees or overwhelmed with emotion.

All of a sudden, you were gone
Just like that, the connection/disappearance was fleeting and out of nowhere, leaving the artist in a state of confusion.

Once in a lifetime
This is the beginning of the chorus, which emphasizes the rareness of the bond that the artist felt with the other person. It wasn't something that happens very often.

Some changes happen
The chorus then meditates on the sort of transformative power of this sort of experience - it can cause significant changes and shifts in one's worldview.

You could be the one to set me on fire
The chorus also emphasizes the influential nature that the other person had over the singer. The connection - even if it was brief - was impactful and significant.

To be with you, only you, oh
The chorus ends with a direct address to the other person. The artist is expressing a desire to be with that specific person - and no one else - in this rare, transformative way.

Ooooooh
This is the final line of the chorus, and it acts as a completer for the entire emotion portrayed in it. It sort of validates the intensity that the singer is expressing towards the other person.
