FKA twigs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A thousand feelings every time I see your body
Give me an end to sigh, an end is kind of me
And so I know you're always thinking of me
Love you a thousand ways, a thousand times
A thousand feelings every time I see your body
Give me an end to sigh, an end is kind of me
Touch you a thousand ways, I'll count as days
And hope that everything we are is leading to the

Love you a thousand ways, a thousand times
A thousand feelings every time you're in my body
Give me an end to sigh, an end is kind of me
And so I know you're always thinking of me
Touch you a thousand ways, I'll count as days
And hope that everything we are is leading to the

The lyrics of “One Time” by FKA twigs express an intense feeling of love and desire for someone. The chorus “Love you a thousand ways, a thousand times” demonstrates the depth of the love she has for this person. The repetition of “One time” at the end of each verse is a plea for intimacy, but also suggests that this relationship is not yet physical. The line “Give me an end to sigh” is a reference to longing for something, and she wants the end of that longing to be fulfilled by this person she loves.
The song showcases FKA twigs's distinctive voice, which ranges from a whisper to a wail, with a unique style of playing with the sound of her words. The music is atmospheric, with a mix of electronic and organic sounds. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but it seems as though FKA twigs is expressing a love that is all-consuming and deep, but still unfulfilled. The yearning for connection and intimacy is palpable in the repetitive chorus.

Still my favorite song by her after all these years. This was the second collab with inc. (first being fka x inc) and was featured as a secret bonus track on a separate 7" vinyl with the deluxe version of LP1.

Wow I forgot about their track and I love their other song. Inc. is such a talented duo and I love Fka Twigs. I found about their music from her.
