My Number One
Force Vomit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eating my salad days
Waiting for the sun
The sun, I know you're the one

The skies look kind of gray
They used to be blue
So blue, reminds me of you
Are You
My number one?

So I went to the store
Buy myself some glue
To patch a hole that reeks of you

Now I am walking fine
Smile at everyone
Goodbye, goodbye number one, number one

Do you believe in binaries?
Do you believe in anarchy?
Do you believe in sympathy?
Do you believe in sympathy?

Are you the one I'm waiting for?




Are you the one who's crying nitely on my stereo?
Are you the one who'll rise from ashes of a discko?

Overall Meaning

The song "My Number One" by Force Vomit depicts a person reminiscing about a relationship they had with someone they considered their number one. The lyrics are somewhat cryptic, as they jump between memories and moments of reflection. The singer seems to be in a phase of their life where they are eating healthy and waiting for something to happen, which is indicative of their mental state. The line "The sun, I know you're the one" can be interpreted as the singer waiting for the right opportunity or person to come into their life.


As the song progresses, the singer talks about the change in their environment (the skies look kind of gray now), which is a reminder of the person they are missing. The use of the phrase "patch a hole that reeks of you" is a metaphor for trying to move on from a past love that still lingers around. The final stanza sums up the singer's ambivalent feelings towards the person they referred to as their number one. They question their belief in binaries and anarchy, which suggests a level of confusion about their own identity. The final line about "a discko" could be a reference to a failed endeavor that the person they were with had embarked on.


Overall, "My Number One" is a melancholic song with a mix of emotions. The singer is trying to move on from a past love but seems to be struggling with it. It is a song that many people can relate to, as we have all experienced the pain of lost love at some point in our lives.
