One Love
Quasimoto feat. M.E.D. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire
Fire
This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now)

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
Another prop has occupied my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now)




Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Quasimoto feat. M.E.D.'s song One Love seem to be about the singer's reflection on a former lover. The repetition of the chorus "This one goes out to the one I love" may imply that the singer is trying to reach out to their former lover in a creative way. However, the next line "This one goes out to the one I've left behind" suggests that the love is perhaps unrequited or that the singer had to move on, leaving the former lover behind. The reference to "a simple prop to occupy my time" implies that the singer may have been using their past relationships as a way to pass the time or distract themselves from other issues.


The use of the word "fire" throughout the song can perhaps represent the burning passion or intensity that the singer feels towards their former lover or maybe the intense emotions they are going through while trying to move on. In the last verse, the mention of "another prop" indicates that the singer has moved on to another relationship, but still thinks about the one they left behind.


Overall, the lyrics of the song are open to interpretation and can evoke different emotions and memories in each listener.

I'm so surprised no one talks about this track. It's easily one of Madlib's best beats and M.E.D. rapping compliments it so well
