One Shot
GO!DIVA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[de Angelis]
runnin' for a flash, to get the needles straight in your veins
you're never gonna win, you're never gonna sing, you swim in blood
you will be dead soon, down and out

there are so many doors that you open in your head, pay the price
the day will come he'll cruise you really down to the ground
now you are lost and down and out

I know a fire still burns in your heart

one shot - feel the fire
one shot- destroys body and soul
there is a long way out from home shit home

one day you realize that you're hypnotized in your life
the sweat gets out
but your flame's expired, it's too late
now it's too late

you're doin' everything to get money in your hand, you sell yourself
and then you're playin' god infecting all the kids, heartless and cold
all mothers will be cryin' tears

I know a fire still burns in your heart

one shot - feel the fire
one shot - destroys body and soul
there is a long way out from home shit home
one shot - feel the fire




destroys body and soul
there is a long way out from home shit home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to GO!DIVA's song "One Shot" describe the destructive path of drug addiction and the toll it takes on one's physical and mental health. The opening lines talk about the desperation of getting a fix, with the metaphorical comparison of needles being straightened in one's veins. The lyrics then suggest that the addiction will only lead to loss and defeat, with the person being unable to win or sing and instead swimming in blood. The repetition of the phrase "you'll be dead soon, down and out" highlights the ultimate consequence of addiction.


The song then takes a reflective tone, with the lyrics discussing the realization that one has been hypnotized by their addiction and the sweat that comes with the struggle to break free. The metaphor of the fire burning in one's heart suggests that there is still a spark of hope and the possibility of change. However, by the end of the song, it seems that it is too late, and the damage has been done. The lyrics mention selling oneself and infecting others with the addiction, resulting in the heartlessness and coldness that leaves mothers crying tears.


Overall, "One Shot" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of drug addiction and the toll it takes not just on the individual but also on those around them.
