The bands name is a tribute to the 1981 Irish hunger strike participants inside Her Majesty's Prison Maze, which was colloquially called "The H Blocks".

In 1993, the band released their first single, Rising High. The track was extensively played in clubs and sold over 10,000 copies without a video or any advertising whatsoever.

The band rose to fame with their successful first album Time To Move, released in 1994. Part of this success was due to MTV and their repeated airplay of the videos for the "Risin' High" and "Move" singles. H-Blockx earned a nomination for "Best Breakthrough Artist" at the following MTV music awards (but lost to Dog Eat Dog). With the help of the singles "Risin' High", "Move", and "Little Girl" their debut album spent 62 weeks in the German album chart, selling over 750,000 copies worldwide, and earning the band their first gold album.

H-Blockx is still active to this day and are regularly releasing new albums, though none of them have caught the public or MTV's eye like "Time To Move" did. However, they had a minor hit in 2002 with a cover of Snap!'s "The Power".

You're The One
H-Blockx Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know that you don't like me but
Believe me, that I don't fucking care
No I don't fucking care, hell I don't fucking care
Now you don't even know me, ohoh
The battle that you fight can not be won
There's nothing that you owe me, ohoh
But if there is a loser you're the one

I know you are the one
You wanna tease and drag the whole world down
Whole world down
I know you are the one
So come on please don't ever let me down
Let me down

I hope that you don't quit coming round
Without that, life's a song without sound
That song will always be there
Hell you don't fucking care

Now you don't even know me, ohoh
The battle that you fight can not be won
There's nothing that you owe me, ohoh
But if there is a loser you're the one

I know you are the one
You wanna tease and drag the whole world down
Whole world down
I know you are the one
So come on please don't ever let me down
Let me down

Yeah
Thank God now I know that I'm doing fine
Without you I would see that light

I know you are the one
You wanna tease and drag the whole world down
Whole world down
I know you are the one
Know you are the one, don't ever let me down
Let me down

Let me down
Yeah, it's alright

Let me down
Yeah, it's alright

Overall Meaning

The song "You're The One" by H-Blockx is an aggressive tune that focuses on a person who is not liked but does not care about being disliked by someone else. The lyrics suggest that the person being targeted does not know who the other person is, but they continue to fight an unwinnable battle. The song highlights that if there is a loser in this situation, it is the person who is fighting and trying to bring the other person down.

The chorus of the song repeats the line "I know you are the one" which implies that the person being sung to is the one causing the problem. The singer asks them not to let them down, but the lines "Hell you don't fucking care" suggests that the singer does not care about the person causing the problems, but only cares about the music, hence "life's a song without sound." The song strongly implies that the person causing the problem is the one who would end up losing out in the end.
