Not the Only One
Fivefold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
never claimed to be
I've made the same mistakes
as everybody
I'm like a house of glass
All is so seen through
Pictures from my past
Here no cross this room
My worst enemy
Staring at me in mirror
look into my eyes
And maybe you can see that
I'm... I'm not the only one
I wanna fade up like I were reborn
This is over now
I will stand my ground
Never back in down
And all this demons' raid
to devour me
i never lie awake
and fear out this dreams
i swear i've lost my mind
cannot find my way
and somehow deep inside
i still feel i can shake
Feeling that something here
Is gonna hold on me
But i won't step in now
Gonna make you see
That I'm I'm not the only one
I wanna fade up like i were reborn
This is over now
I will stand my ground
Never back in down
Jade in, I'm a victim
Of myself
Hey! then I'm rising
upon this hell
Waking free
saking me far from here
Can you see
That's changing me!
live! and it's fair!
I'm... I'm not the only one
I wanna fade up like I were reborn
This is over now
I will stand my ground
Never back in down
I've never been a saint
never claimed to be
I've made the same mistakes
as everybody
"Not the Only One" by Fivefold is a song that is about being human and having flaws, and how we all make mistakes in life. The lyrics are honest and vulnerable, as the singer confesses to being imperfect and making the same mistakes as everyone else. The metaphor of a house of glass is particularly powerful, suggesting that everything about the singer is visible to everyone else, and there's nowhere to hide. The line "All is so seen through" further emphasizes this idea, as if to say that no part of him is opaque or hidden. The feeling of being exposed and vulnerable is echoed in the line "Here no cross this room", which suggests that the singer is trapped and unable to escape a certain situation.
The song is ultimately about resilience and standing up for oneself, despite feeling overwhelmed or defeated. The line "I will stand my ground, never backin' down" is a declaration of strength and courage, suggesting that no matter how hard things get, the singer will not give up or give in. This determination is further reinforced in the line "Can you see, that's changing me! Live! And it's fair!", which suggests that the journey of self-discovery and personal growth is not always easy, but it is worth it. The song is a reminder that we are all human, and we all have the power to rise above our mistakes and do better.

I have never been a perfect person
never claimed to be
I have never pretended to be perfect or to have no flaws
I've made the same mistakes
I have made the same mistakes as everyone else
as everybody
just like everyone else I am human and flawed
I'm like a house of glass
I am an open book, with nothing to hide
All is so seen through
Everything about me is easily visible and transparent
Pictures from my past
Memories from my past
Here no cross this room
There is no one else in the room with me
My worst enemy
I am my own worst enemy
Staring at me in mirror
Looking at myself in the mirror
look into my eyes
Looking into my eyes
And maybe you can see that
You might be able to see that about me
I'm... I'm not the only one
I am not the only one who has gone through difficult times
I wanna fade up like I were reborn
I want to start anew
This is over now
All these past negative experiences are over
I will stand my ground
I will remain strong and brave and not let life bring me down
Never back in down
I will not give in to fear or intimidation
And all this demons' raid
All these inner demons I'm facing
to devour me
That try to consume me from inside out
i never lie awake
I never stay awake worried about it
and fear out this dreams
And fear about what terrible things may come to my mind in dreams
i swear i've lost my mind
I have lost my cool, my mind and everything seems out of my control
cannot find my way
Can't figure out which way to go
and somehow deep inside
And deep inside somewhere
i still feel i can shake
I still believe I can overcome these problems and difficulties in life
Feeling that something here
Feeling that there is something present
Is gonna hold on me
That's not going to let me fall down
But i won't step in now
But I will not give in just yet
Gonna make you see
And I will fight this along for you to see
Jade in, I'm a victim
Trapped, jailed in myself I, I feel like a victim
Of myself
Of my own making
Hey! then I'm rising
But, hey! I am pushing myself up
upon this hell
Even when it feels like hell
Waking free
Breaking free from my own chains
saking me far from here
Taking me far away from this place
Can you see
Can you see this transformation?
That's changing me!
That's changing who I am at my core
live! and it's fair!
Living! And feeling like it's fair!
