This One
Snowmine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the valleys below
From my happiest
To the depths of my soul
I let loose a stone
And watched it fall down
No matter where it lands
But only where I am
This one's for money
This one's for love
This one's for taking everything that I've dreamed of
This one's for greed
Another for affection
How can I live without natural selection?
Let us fade away and make time for another day.
Yeah we crossed the lake
Hoping to see something
and you told me last year, that the fish were here.
Now look at my embarrassment! I led us into a trap
I put us right on a mirror, and we can't get out
This one's for money
This one's for love
This one's for taking everything that I've dreamed of
This one's for greed
Another for affection
How can I live without natural selection?
Let us fade away and make time for another day.
The lyrics of Snowmine's song "This One" explore the contradictions and complexities of human desires and emotions. The first stanza describes the singer's experience of throwing a stone and watching it fall, symbolizing the unpredictable nature of life. The lines "No matter where it lands / But only where I am" suggest that the singer is contemplating their own place in the world, and the role they play in shaping their own destiny.
The second stanza comprises a series of declarations about the different things that drive us as humans, from money and love to greed and affection. The line "How can I live without natural selection?" implies that these desires are innate and fundamental to our survival, even if they sometimes lead us astray. The final line "Let us fade away and make time for another day" could be interpreted as a plea for acceptance of our flaws and imperfections, and an acknowledgement that we must keep striving despite setbacks and failures.
Overall, "This One" is a powerful commentary on the human experience, and the ways in which our desires and emotions shape our lives. It encourages introspection and self-reflection, reminding us that though life may be unpredictable and challenging, we have the power to create our own paths.

Coming back to this song after months of not being able to listen to your music without being put into an emotional funk, and I can say this song means more to me now than it ever has. I can't express how much you guys mean to me! You're music has carried me through some tough times. Thank you guys so much!

@Loli with a shotgun Yup! I always come back to Snowmine. Happy moments, sad moments, times of growth and times of stagnation. Snowmine is there with me through it all! I haven't listened to this particular song in a while (Dialects is my favorite album), can't beleive it's been 7 years since I posted this. Wow, feels like yesterday. Thanks for bringing me back! I needed this so much right now you don't even know! Hope you're blessed and enjoying your time on this earth! We're all looking for happiness in something, make that something worthwhile! You're loved and appreciated!
