One Foot
F.U.N Lyrics

I'm standing in Brooklyn just waiting for something to happen
I find myself in Brooklyn, merely existing without a clear purpose or direction

I can’t help but love thinking that everyone doesn’t get it
I take pleasure in the idea that others may not understand my perspective or experiences

To my left there’s a window
I am situated near a window

Where did I go?
I am questioning my own sense of self and direction

My reflection just planted two rows of coal
I feel as though I am contributing negatively to my own life or the world around me

And bad ideas, but ideas nonetheless, and so
Despite my negative contribution, I still have ideas that I feel are worth exploring

I put one foot in front of the other one, oh oh oh
I continue to move forward, taking life one step at a time

I don’t need a new love or a new life just a better place to die
I am not seeking a new relationship or existence, just a better ending to my current one

I happened to stumble upon a chapel last night
Recently, I came across a church or place of worship

And I can’t help but back up when I think of what happens inside
The practices or beliefs held within the church make me feel uncomfortable or unsettled

I got friends locked in boxes, that's no way to live
I have friends who are confined, either physically or metaphorically, and I believe it to be a poor existence

What you're callin' a sin isn’t up to them
The label of 'sin' is subjective and should not be used to judge others' actions or lifestyles

After all, (after all) I thought we were all your children,
I believed that we are all equal and loved by a higher power

But I will die for my own sins thanks a lot
I recognize my own flaws and am accountable for them, without projecting blame onto a higher power

We’ll rise up ourselves thanks for nothing at all,
As a collective, we will take charge of our own fate and not rely on external forces for assistance

So up off the ground up our forefathers are nothing but dust now
Our ancestors are no longer tangible or present, as they have disintegrated into the earth

Maybe I should learn to shut my mouth
Perhaps it would be in my best interest to stay silent or keep my thoughts to myself

I am over twenty-five and I can’t make a name for myself some nights I break down and cry
Despite my age, I have yet to establish my reputation or achieve my desired level of success, leading me to feel overwhelmed and emotional

I’m lucky that my father’s still alive he’s been fighting all his life
I am grateful that my father is still alive and has persevered through various challenges throughout his life

And if this is all I’ve ever known then may his soul live on forever in my song
If my current experiences and memories are all that I will ever have, then I will honor my father's legacy through my music

In front of the other one
Continuing to take one step at a time

Just a better place to die
Hoping for a more peaceful or fulfilling ending to my life
