One Life
Slander & YOOKiE Lyrics

The song "One Life" by Slander & YOOKiE talks about the powerful feeling of finding someone who makes you feel complete and the importance of holding on to that person because we only have one life. The lyrics emphasize the idea that even if two people are separated by distance, they can still feel each other's presence and souls through the power of love.

The song's opening lyrics describe the life-changing moment when the singer sees the face of their loved one for the first time. The sudden feeling of completeness and the need for that person is highlighted in the following lines. However, the singer acknowledges the fleeting nature of time and impermanence of the relationship by saying, "But right now our time is short." This foreshadows the distance that will come between them and the physical separation they will experience.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of holding on because life is fleeting and precious. The use of "halfway across the earth" as a way to describe distance shows that physical distance doesn't break the connection between two souls in love. The repetition of "I hold on cause we only got one life" stresses the importance of making the most of the time they have together and being grateful for it.
