One Way
Naughty Boy Lyrics

What if the very thing that threatens you, is the very thing that beckons you
Sometimes we are attracted to things that are harmful or dangerous to us

Roll up your sleeves, pull down you're hood
Prepare yourself and stay hidden

Why do all the bad things feel so good?
We are often tempted by things that we know are wrong, but feel pleasurable

Cause there's only one way, one way to fix it. One way, one way to make it better
There is only one solution to the problem, and we must follow it to make things better

One way to get out of this place if you want it
If we want to escape a bad situation, there is only one way to do it

If you want it you can fix it, there's many who have dared
If you have the desire to fix the situation, there are people who have faced it before you

I tried, I've been inside for twenty two years
The singer has been in a difficult situation for a long time and has tried to escape

You could lose everything, they could bury you here
There are risks to trying to escape, including a potential for severe consequences

Very few leave in a merry mood here
Most people who try to leave are not happy with the results

But you never knew I've been in every room here
The artist has explored every part of their current situation

I know a few secrets that very few share, but listen
The singer has information that is not widely known

They don't even notice me, a bit of courtesy to clean the dirt you leave
The artist is ignored or unseen, but still tries to help others

It's a one way street can you work with me?
We must cooperate if we want to succeed in our escape plan

It's a five-star suite, something lurks beneath
Appearances can be deceiving, and danger may be hidden in good-looking surroundings

Don't scratch the surface, don't turn a cheek
We must be cautious and aware of our surroundings

Don't speak of anything you have heard or seen
It's important to keep our plans and knowledge secret

The lonely ignore you, the more you speak
If we are too talkative, we may be viewed as annoying or untrustworthy

And don't forget to wash your hands before you leave
We must leave our surroundings as cleanly as we found them

There's something fishy in Cabana, maybe its the piranhas
There is something suspicious or dangerous in the hotel, perhaps the singer is referring to powerful people or predators

This place will turn you crazy, think they're saving me for afters
The environment can drive one to madness, and the artist believes they are being kept as bait for later use

'Cause there's only one way, one way to fix it. One way, one way to make it better
The only solution is to escape and find a better situation

Yeah don't forget to wash your hands before you leave round here
We must always leave things as we found them, and be cautious of our surroundings

We've gotta clean this toilet
There is a lot of work to be done to fix the situation

Can't sleep or breathe, the heat is boiling
The pressure and danger of the situation is overwhelming

And in between good and evil, don't eat the poison
We must choose wisely and avoid temptation

Follow your heart, if you can't beat them, join them
We should listen to our instincts and consider joining forces with those who can help us

Walk into reception, seek employment
We must act as though we belong and seek opportunities to gather information and resources

There's one way to change if two of us can make it
We have a chance at success if we work together

Bottle of grey goose, you're wearing the same suit
Despite superficial similarities, our experiences and situations may be vastly different

But you don't look as good as you did when you came through
The situation has taken a toll on us and we are worse off than when we started

Blunt in your suave shoes, be wearin' the blame truth
It's important to be honest with ourselves and take responsibility for our actions and circumstances

They say you and the devil are sharin' the same rooms
The artist is viewed as dangerous or evil and may be associated with the devil

Overcome that demon and there's meaning in the methods used
If we can conquer our inner demons, we will find purpose and strength in the process

There was never no hell or armada
The situation is not as hopeless or dangerous as it may seem

Our version of heaven, Hotel Cabana
The hotel represents a false utopia where things appear perfect but are actually highly flawed

'Cause there's only one way, one way to fix it. One way, one way to make it better
The only way forward is to escape and seek a better situation

Yeah why is it the bad things which always feel the greatest
We are often tempted by things that we know are wrong, but feel pleasurable

(one way, one way)
This is the only solution

Sometimes we gotta break away if we wanna make a change
We must take risks and leave our comfort zone if we want to improve our situation

(one way, one way)
There is only one path forward

Anyone can say they ain't afraid but when they face to face (one way) with their worst fears, will they remain the same?
Talking about bravery is easy, but it is difficult to face our fears and maintain our resolve

Is this hotel the perfect place to stay?
The singer questions whether the current situation is truly a good long-term option

If you find a way out then stay out, never return again
If we can escape our current situation, we should never look back and try to avoid returning to it

'Cause there's only one way, one way to fix it. One way, one way to make it better
The only solution is to escape and find a better situation
