I'm The One
Rebecca Martin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dressed in jet black and saying,
For as long as I have known you there's been trouble following you.
Like a ghost but human
In my head wanting to touch the sands
For as long as I have known you there's been trouble following you.
It's alright
Fly away
You needn't say
I'm the one
The lyrics to Rebecca Martin's song "I'm the One" describe a dream where the singer sees a man dressed in jet-black who warns her that trouble has followed her for as long as he has known her. Despite being a human, he seems to be a ghostly presence in her head, longing to touch the sands. The chorus of the song, "It's alright, Fly away, What's to come, You needn't say, I'm the one," suggests that the singer is accepting of the trouble that has come with her and is ready to leave it behind, and that the man in black is the one who will guide her on this journey.
The lyrics of the song leave many questions unanswered, leaving listeners to interpret its meaning for themselves. Some might see the song as a metaphor for letting go of the past and moving on from traumatic experiences. Others might view the man in black as a representation of death or a supernatural being offering a way out of a difficult situation. Overall, the song presents a sense of acceptance and readiness for whatever lies ahead, even if it means leaving past troubles behind.

In a dream I've seen a man
I had a dream about a man
Dressed in jet black and saying,
He was wearing black clothes and spoke
For as long as I have known you there's been trouble following you.
I have noticed that you have always been troubled
Like a ghost but human
He appeared ghostly but was actually human
In my head wanting to touch the sands
I had a desire to touch sand in my imagination
For as long as I have known you there's been trouble following you.
I have observed that there has been a continuous problem following you
It's alright
Everything is fine
Fly away
Go away
What's to come
What will happen in the future
You needn't say
You don't have to tell me
I'm the one
I am the one to help you get rid of your troubles
