Once in a Lifetime
Hi-Risk Faktor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once in a while will you try to give
One little thought to me
Though someone else may be
Nearer your heart?

Once in a while will you dream
Of the moments I shared with you
Moments before we two
Drifted apart?

In love's smoldering ember
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
That spark may burn again

I know that I'll be contented
With yesterday's memory
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while

In love's smoldering ember
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
The spark may burn again

I know that I'll be contented
With yesterday's memory




Knowing you think of me
Once in a while

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hi-Risk Faktor's song "Once in a Lifetime" speak of unrequited love and the yearning for a moment of acknowledgement from the one you love. The song starts with the singer asking the person they love to spend even a little time thinking about them, despite the fact that someone else may be closer to their heart. The chorus talks about the possibility of reigniting the spark between them and the hope that love still remembers and can burn once again. The final lines of the song indicate that even though the singer may only be a former memory, the knowledge that they are still thought of occasionally is enough for them to find contentment.


The song expresses the pain and longing that comes with an unfulfilled love relationship. The emotion and passion present in the song make it relatable to anyone who has experienced the feeling of being in love with someone who may not feel the same way. The reference to love's "smoldering ember" and "spark" as metaphors for the potential for love to rekindle show the underlying optimism that the singer holds onto despite the sadness they invite.

I remember praying to God asking him to give me someone who loves me as much as I love him. Until one day, out of nowhere, he answered my prayers😭😭
