One By One
Entropia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe I'm the only one
Maybe I'm the only one
Maybe I'm the only one
To be done, to be done
Never been this much alone
Never felt this much unknown
Maybe I'm the only one
I'm alone, I'm a
Piece of trash without a hope
Never felt nowhere at home
Maybe I'm the only one
I'm no one, I'm no
I'm no Curtis or Cobain
I can't kill myself for fame
I can only be a shame
I'm ok, I'm not
Maybe I'm the only one
Maybe I'm the only one
Maybe I'm the only one
To be done, to be done
I've been feeling so unknown
There's no force left in my bones
Have a try now, have a go
I cannot, I'm no
I'm no Curtis or Cobain
I can't kill myself, get fame
I can only be a shame
I'm ok, I'm not
I'm not used to this cocaine
I can't handle all this pain
If I were, I were in vain
Get your aim straight and...
We're the youth
We're the youth that lives in vain
We're the youth
We're the youth that lives in vain, we're the youth
We're the youth that lives in vain
We're the dogs who catch the rain
Another day, another day,
Our only purpose is the
We're the youth that lives in vain
We're the dogs who catch the rain
Another day, another day,
Our only purpose is the pain
Another day




Another day
Another day
