One Track Mind
Lucky 7 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kicking stones down the street, I should've listened to my friends.
She only thinks of herself, there's nothing left for me to do.
I can't uncross my heart, I can't convince myself to choose.
So out of touch.
Can't wipe the stars from my eyes.
But I hope that this time affectations will be realized.
She's got a one track mind.
Her one track mind.
Still I'll love her 'til the day I die.
So I wrote them down, all the words I could say to you.
Just to tear them up, decided to ignore the truth.
The lyrics of Lucky 7's song "One Track Mind" seem to tell the story of a man who is at a crossroads in his relationship. He's feeling lonely because his partner has left him alone again, and he's reflecting on the advice he's received from his friends that he should have listened to. The man seems to be in a state of mental confusion as he's unable to convince himself to choose between his desire to be with his partner and his awareness that she only thinks of herself, leaving nothing for him to hold on to. He's grappling with emotions of love and loss, and he feels out of touch and unable to wipe "the stars from his eyes."
Despite the challenges he's facing, the man holds on to the hope that his partner will realize the impact of her actions, and that things will be better in the future. He recognizes that she has a one track mind, which he suggests is leaving him behind, despite his love for her. The song's final lines seem to suggest that the man has come to terms with his situation, as he's written down all the words he could say to his partner, but decided to tear them up and ignore the truth.
In summary, "One Track Mind" is a powerful song about the complexity of relationships, and the ways that we can become trapped in situations that we know are not healthy for us. The singer of the song is struggling with his emotions and trying to make sense of his situation, ultimately coming to the realization that he may need to let go of his feelings in order to move forward.
