The One
Marcel Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you called I would answer
I would love to hear you talk
I just don't know if you're real
When I look in my woman's eyes I see
Louisiana
Flowers, and rain, weather
And we could be free
From all the pain of belief

Rain rain rain
Open the sky
It's just you and I
Flowers bloom when we die
And we could be free

From all the pain of belief
It's just you and I

Overall Meaning

In Marcel's song "The One," the lyrics convey a sense of longing and uncertainty in a relationship. The opening line, "If you called I would answer," implies a desire for connection and communication with the person being addressed. However, the following line, "I just don't know if you're real," suggests a lack of trust, or perhaps the fear that the singer's feelings are not reciprocated.

The repeated phrase, "And we could be free from all the pain of belief," seems to echo this sense of insecurity. It implies that the singer's belief in the relationship could be a source of pain or worry. The metaphorical language used throughout the song ("Louisiana," "flowers," "rain") conveys a sense of natural beauty and potential for growth and renewal, but also perhaps a sense of unpredictability or uncontrollable forces at play.
