Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm drowning from too much stuff
I get scared when the telephone rings
Someone complaining about one more thing
One more thing
Yeah it's one more thing
One more thing to put in line
One more thing that i can't take
One more thing and i'm gonna break
You need more, well get in line
Too many things grabbin' at my time
Tell your brother right out flat
Then I'll have to throw your badge
One more thing
Yeah you're one more thing
One more thing to put in line
One more thing to waste my time
One more thing that i can't take
One more thing and I'm gonna break
Yeah you're one more thing
Yeah, you're one more thing
Fix my engine and the tire goes flat
It's one more thing that I can't have
Politics messing with my rights
There's nothing fun to do tonight
One more thing, it's one more thing
It's one more thing to put in line
one more thing to waste my time
One more thing that I can't take
one more thing and I'm gonna break
It's one more thing... it's one more thing
it's one more thing... it's one more thing
The lyrics to L7's "One More Thing" express feelings of being overwhelmed and frustrated with the constant demands of daily life. The repetitive phrase "one more thing" conveys a sense of exasperation as the singer is bombarded by phone calls, requests, and problems that feel like additions to an already overwhelming workload. The mention of fixing an engine and then having a flat tire adds to this feeling of a never-ending cycle of problems.
The overall tone of the song is one of anger and rebellion as the singer demands that others stop adding to their problems and wasting their time. The mention of politics "messing with my rights" also adds to this sense of outrage and frustration.
Overall, "One More Thing" speaks to both the universal experience of feeling overwhelmed by life's demands and the desire to take control and push back against those who add to our stress and burdens.

on Pretend We're Dead
The L7 song "Scrap" explores themes of identity, rebellion, and self-destruction. The narrator of the song describes a skinhead named Scrap who lives in his friend's garage and spends his days inhaling spray paint fumes. The lyrics suggest that he is searching for something, perhaps a sense of purpose or meaning, but is unable to find it. He meets some Christians from hell and goes on a trip to Las Vegas with them, but ultimately returns to the garage only to find it gone. The song ends with the suggestion that he is now growing his hair and moving on, perhaps to a new phase of his life.
The lyrics use vivid imagery to convey the sense of disorientation and desperation that Scrap feels. The repetition of the line "Grab a paper bag like an oxygen mask / Until your mind starts to gel" suggests that he is constantly seeking some kind of escape or release from his reality. The reference to the "funky dying brain cell" adds a sense of urgency and danger to the situation, emphasizing the potentially harmful effects of his lifestyle.
Overall, "Scrap" is a powerful and thought-provoking song that explores the darker aspects of human nature. It paints a vivid picture of a troubled individual trying to find his way in a confusing and sometimes hostile world.
