One Thing
Nicole Millar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Talk so good bye
But I don't believe you, don't believe you
And I won't believe you, won't believe you
Dark night, eyes wide
Your words, truth hurts, won't lie
If you talk, it's just pretend
We got something, I'm that one thing
Time is never turning back
Never seem to fade to black
I want something, you got nothing
Wish that you stayed
Come sit, blue ways
Don't you feel it, don't you feel it
Cause my heart is still but won't you steal it
Wish that you stayed
Your words, truth hurts, won't lie
I don't need you, hold your breath
If you talk, it's just pretend
We got something, I'm that one thing
Time is never turning back
Never seem to fade to black
I want something, you got nothing
I don't need you, hold your breath
If you talk, it's just pretend
We got something, I'm that one thing
Time is never turning back
Never seem to fade to black
I want something, you got nothing
I don't need you, hold your breath
If you talk, it's just pretend
We got something, I'm that one thing
Time is never turning back
Never seem to fade to black
I want something, you got nothing
The lyrics to Nicole Millar's song "One Thing" portray the singer as being hurt by someone she once cared for. The verses describe a "dark night" where the person in question is saying goodbye, but the singer does not believe them. Despite this, the singer still wants them to stay and "steal" her heart, even though their words can be hurtful. The chorus emphasizes the singer's independence and the idea that she does not need this person to feel complete; she is the "one thing" that she needs. The message of the song is ultimately about self-empowerment and not letting others dictate one's happiness.
The lyrics are delivered in a way that is both melancholy and upbeat, with a strong emphasis on Millar's breathy vocals. The instrumental is composed of electronic beats and synths that give the song a dreamlike quality that is at once wistful and uplifting. The repetition of certain phrases within the chorus, such as "I don't need you," emphasizes the message of independence and self-assurance that runs throughout the song.

Caught up in your turbulence
Gasping for your air and we float
Cans with our chemicals
Away from all our fears, yeah, we grow
And I, and I tremble, yeah
And I, and I tremble with you, with you
And I, and I tremble, yeah
And I, and I tremble with you, with you
Tremble with you
Wishin' you were here with me
Your scent still haunts my lips
Together we were symmetry
We belong in memory
I can't let you go
And I, and I tremble, yeah
And I, and I tremble with you, with you
And I, and I tremble, yeah
And I, and I tremble with you, with you
Tremble with you
