Onelinedrawing Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

From the three-way split - The Juliana Theory, Onelinedrawing, Greyam:

Well that's a tricky motherfucking thing to do, could you just wait a while?
What I've heard, I'm alive
Lovers all the way
Lovers all the way.

Ba-da-ba-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-ba-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-ba-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-ba-da-da-da-da

Do you see me laughing, oh you don't realise.
Well, I never liked you much, hey, no surprise.

I should've but I didn't say...
I didn't take the time to think it through...
But what's a little kiss anyway?
Well, that's a tricky motherfucking thing to do.
Could you just wait a while?

What I've heard, I'm alive.
Lovers all the way,
Lovers all the way.

John, I'm only a dancing -- oh and hey he turns me on,
You're the one who left here, and you've been gone too long.

I should've but I didn't say,
I didn't take the time to think it through...
But what's a little kiss anyway?
Well, that's a tricky motherfucking thing to do.
Could you just wait a while?

What I heard, I'm alive. Lovers all the way.
When I find myself in times of trouble, I get up and run away.
I see my life in another way, another way...

Well, that's a tricking motherfucking thing to do,
Well, that's a tricking motherfucking thing to do,
Well, that's a tricking motherfucking thing to do,
Could you just wait a while?

What I heard, I'm alive. Lovers all the away, lovers all the way.
All the way...

De-da-de-da-da-da-da
De-da-de-da-da-da-da
Oooh-de-da-do-da-doo

Do you see me laughing?
Do you see me laughing?
You don't realise,




You don't realise,
You don't realise

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Onelinedrawing's "Tricky" are about the complexity of relationships and how sometimes a seemingly innocent action, like a kiss, can cause a lot of turmoil. The singer acknowledges that they should have thought about the consequences before acting, but it's too late and now they're dealing with the aftermath. The repetition of the phrase "lovers all the way" is likely an attempt to convince themselves that everything will work out in the end, even if that's not necessarily true. The singer also expresses frustration with someone who has been gone for too long, perhaps a former lover or friend, but they also admit that this person still turns them on.

Going over a point or lines is overlapping and folding the paper is cheating IMO, so these would still be considered incorrect.

Patrick Hyde

Agreed!

@Just Haze the very first one is possible, the second one is not without cheating.

Just Haze

First 2 don’t make sense

krissid2003

OK, so I'm not the only to think folding the paper is cheating! I see the snowman shape on those brain game apps all the time and you cannot fold a paper on a app

I was curious for number 5, but the trick of folding the paper ruined my curiosity. …

@GeekPool ✅EXACTLY, this video is deceptive and insulting to viewers. It’s rude. I’m grateful to you for calling them out on this. 👍
