We Are One
Jürgenrk Jansen; Peter Spilles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Standing and falling
Running and crawling
Stumbling towards the next day
A numb feeling in my heart
I look into your eyes
And everything falls apart

You may kill me
But the idea will survive
The sleeper awoke already
And now it's too late
To put him to sleep again

I look into your eyes
There is no boundary
You make me realize
We are one
Mirror split up into pieces

We are one
I look into your eyes
We are one
There is no boundary
We are one
You make me realize
We are one
Mirror split up into pieces

It was much easier to hide
The darkness covered us
Made us feel so safe
A senseless fight for nothing
In search of our own life

You may kill me
But the idea will survive
The sleeper awoke already
And now it's too late
To put him to sleep again

I look into your eyes
There is no boundary
You make me realize
We are one
Mirror split up into pieces

We are one
I look into your eyes
We are one
There is no boundary
We are one
You make me realize




We are one
Mirror split up into pieces

Overall Meaning

"We Are One" is a powerful song by Peter Spilles that talks about the unity of human beings. The song opens with the lines "Standing and falling, running and crawling, stumbling towards the next day, a numb feeling in my heart, I look into your eyes and everything falls apart." These lines express the struggles of life and the loneliness that people experience in their personal journeys. However, the central message of the song is that despite the struggles and loneliness, human beings are not alone, and we are ultimately one.


The chorus of the song "We Are One" emphatically states "I look into your eyes, there is no boundary, you make me realize, we are one, mirror split up into pieces." These lines provide a poetic image of the unity of human beings as a mirror that has been split into multiple pieces but is still one. The song also talks about how the idea of unity cannot be destroyed even if someone tries to kill those who believe in it. The idea of unity is now awake, and it's too late to put it back to sleep.


In essence, "We Are One" is a song that speaks to the human condition and the search for unity in a world that can often feel fragmented and divided. The song inspires listeners to look beyond the surface-level differences between people and recognize our shared humanity.

@Listtall

I don't think any world cup will hit as deep and fill me with as much joy as the 2010 and 2014 ones. The first being in an African country where there is so much culture and meaning to hosting, then the second being in arguably the home of football. Now we have them in deserts where stadiums are built on the bodies of workers :(
