One Mistake
Kisschasy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up, wake up now,
And live like yesterday.
Wake up tomorrow, and live just like today.
See all these people,
They tell you who you are,
And who you should be,
They've gone too far.
It's for me to say,
Why can't I make one mistake?

All eyes are on you as you walk through the crowd.
They've all got secrets, but yours are worse some how.
The Judges hammer has come down on your heart.
The jury sits and waits for your sentence to start.





It's for me to say.
Why can't I make one mistake?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kisschasy's song One Mistake convey a sense of frustration and anger towards society's expectations regarding behavior and conformity. The song's opening lines create a picture of the passage of time as meaningless, with living like yesterday and today being equated. This expression is followed by the portrayal of the people who surround the singer as judgemental, insisting they assume a particular identity, a contradiction to the idea of free will.


The line "It's for me to say, why can't I make one mistake?" summarizes the singer's frustration to the unyielding expectations placed on them by society. The song continues to describe how society judges harshly and with quick decisions, without giving people the benefit of the doubt or allowing them to learn from their errors.


The chorus declares that the singer, like everyone else, is only human and should be allowed to make mistakes— mistakes being a part of learning and growing as a person. Overall, the message of the song is to express the difficulties of living up to society's expectations and how it feels to be under constant observation and scrutiny.
