One Way
Selma & the Sound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm doing fine
You can take it your way, and I will take it mine
But I don't know
Let's get our shit, get out of here
It's always on my mind
I don't care
I'm doing fine
But I don't know
Maybe we'll 'break bad' tonight?
What's yours, is always mine
Show me something
Give me something
All I see is dark
There's two ways in
And one way out
Feel the tension
Fear the tension
All I see is dark
There's two ways in
And one way out
What can I do?
I swear it's fine
Break the glass against the wall
You're witnessing a crime
What shall we do?
The glass is almost empty now
It's lemon, and it's lime
Show me something
Give me something
All I see is dark
There's two ways in
And one way out
Feel the tension
Fear the tension
All I see is dark
There's two ways in
And one way out
Two ways in and one way out
Two ways in and one way out
Two ways in and one way out
And one way out
Two ways in and one way out
Two ways in and one way out
Two ways in and one way out
And one way out
Two ways in and one way out
Two ways in and one way out
Two ways in and one way out
And one way out
Two ways in and one way out
Two ways in and one way out
Two ways in and one way out
And one way out
Two ways in
One way out
Two ways in
And one way out
The lyrics of Selma & the Sound's song "One Way" seem to be about a person who is at peace with their own choices, regardless of what others may think, even if it means taking a different path or leaving someone behind. The repetition of "I don't care, I'm doing fine" seems to reinforce this idea. The line "What's yours is always mine" could be interpreted as a warning against giving too much power to others or being in a relationship where one person takes more than they give. The reference to "breaking bad" may suggest a desire for rebellion or mischief, but it's not entirely clear.
The lines "Show me something, give me something, all I see is dark" and "feel the tension, fear the tension" seem to express a sense of anxiety or uncertainty. This feeling is reinforced by the repeated references to there being "two ways in and one way out." The song seems to be exploring themes of independence, fear, and the search for something more.
Overall, the lyrics of "One Way" are somewhat cryptic and open to interpretation. However, the themes of individual choice, fear, and uncertainty are consistent throughout the song. The repetition of certain phrases, like "two ways in and one way out" and "I don't care, I'm doing fine," serve to emphasize these themes and create a sense of tension and atmosphere.

Well I don't care
I am indifferent about the situation
I'm doing fine
I am currently content with my life
You can take it your way, and I will take it mine
We have different methods of dealing with things
But I don't know
I am unsure about the future
Let's get our shit, get out of here
Let's leave this place quickly
It's always on my mind
I'm constantly thinking about it
I can take it slowly, but you ain't got the time
I am willing to take things at a slower pace, but you are not
Maybe we'll 'break bad' tonight?
We might do something illegal tonight
What's yours, is always mine
What belongs to you ultimately belongs to me
Show me something
Impress me with something

Provide me with something
All I see is dark
I am unable to see any light in this situation
There's two ways in
There are two possible entrances to this situation
And one way out
There is only one possible exit from this situation
Feel the tension
The atmosphere is tense and stressful
Fear the tension
Be afraid of the intense and stressful situation
What can I do?
I am at a loss for what to do
I swear it's fine
I promise that everything is okay
Break the glass against the wall
Smash the glass against the wall
You're witnessing a crime
You are watching a criminal act take place
The glass is almost empty now
There is very little left in the glass
It's lemon, and it's lime
The drink in the glass contains lemon and lime flavors
Two ways in and one way out
The situation has two possible entrances and only one possible exit
And one way out
There is only one possible exit from this situation

I am white, and I think it is disgusting and terrible what is happening today. MLK and others gave their lives to change things and they did; and now we're slipping back. I never thought I would see this kind of racism in my lifetime.
My heart goes out to all of you. Stand and fight!
If I had been alive I would have gone to Selma.
lazy yadsruht :3

@Cortney Love By those words you are disrespecting Dr. King. 😑
Ryann😤‼️❤️
Cortney Love, Martin said that we needed to forgive. Not forget, but forgive. Cussing is not going to make anything better, and it could’ve just been autocorrect, or a mistake. Either way he
knows what he is talking about.

@Cortney Love no cussing
