One Love
Soil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you, you're the time that crushes me
And you, you're the heartache, the heartbreak, the misery
And you, shouldn't have meant shit to me
You are, you're my misery
You said, one love
One love, your way
You said, one love
One love, your way
I'm beaten, I'm broken
You got the better part of me
Now you're the death of me
Hey, hey you, I said hey
What was that you used to say
Unconditional, forever
Words that you shattered
When you, keep pushing me
You are, you're my misery
You said, one love
One love, your way
Beaten, broken, battered, your way
You said, one love
One love, your way
I'm beaten, I'm broken
You got the better part of me
Now you're the death of me
My way, my way
One love, my way
One love, one love
My way, my way
Hell inside of me, distort what you see
Picasso heart your word is shit
Confusion, inside of you
With clinched fist, you swing and hit
One love, one love
My way, my way
We were meant to be, distort what you see
Picasso heart your love is bent
Confusion, inside of me
With a crazy heart, I crave your kiss
One love, one love
My way, my way
One love, one love
My way, my way
One love, one love
My way, my way
The lyrics of SOiL's song "One Love" seem to depict the feelings of a person who has been hurt by someone they loved. The song begins with the singer acknowledging that the person they are singing about is exactly who they thought they were, but this realization causes them pain. The chorus of the song consists of the phrase "one love" repeated multiple times, which can be a reference to the popular phrase "one love, one heart" often used to express unity and love. However, the context of the song seems more pointed. The singer seems to be in agony, with the lines "Beaten, broken, battered, your way" and "Now you're the death of me" showing how this once-loving relationship has become toxic.
The second verse of the song shows the singer remembering promises made by their former lover, such as "Unconditional, forever" which have now been broken. The chorus is repeated multiple times, with the singer seeming to be both angry and longing for the love they once had. The bridge of the song takes on a more aggressive tone, with the lines "Hell inside of me, distort what you see" and "Picasso heart your word is shit" showing how the pain and hurt have caused the singer to lash out. However, the song ends with the singer still craving that "one love" that they felt they once had.
Overall, the lyrics of "One Love" seem to be a commentary on toxic relationships and the pain that can come from loving someone who hurts you.
Line by Line Meaning
You, you're who I thought you'd be
You are exactly the person I expected you to be.
And you, you're the time that crushes me
You are the burden that weighs me down and drains me of my energy.
And you, you're the heartache, the heartbreak, the misery
You are the source of all the pain and sorrow that I feel in my heart and soul.
And you, shouldn't have meant shit to me
You were not worth my time, attention or love at all.
You are, you're my misery
You are the cause of all the pain, sorrow and misery that I feel in my life.
You said, one love
One love, your way
Beaten, broken, battered, your way
You claimed to love me unconditionally, but in reality, you only loved me when I acted according to your wishes, regardless of the harm it caused me.
I'm beaten, I'm broken
You got the better part of me
Now you're the death of me
You have completely broken me down and taken away everything I had, leaving me as nothing but a hollow shell, incapable of feeling anything but pain and misery.
Hey, hey you, I said hey
What was that you used to say
Unconditional, forever
Words that you shattered
I remember the promises you made to love me unconditionally, but now I see that these words meant nothing to you and were just empty promises.
When you, keep pushing me
You are, you're my misery
Every time you push me further down, you cause me even more pain and sorrow, solidifying your place as the source of all my misery.
Hell inside of me, distort what you see
Picasso heart your word is shit
Confusion, inside of you
With clinched fist, you swing and hit
My mind and soul are in constant agony, distorting my perceptions of reality and making it impossible for me to trust anyone, let alone you. Your promises mean nothing and your heart is twisted, making you a danger to me every time you act out of confusion and anger.
We were meant to be, distort what you see
Picasso heart your love is bent
Confusion, inside of me
With a crazy heart, I crave your kiss
Despite all the pain and misery you cause me, my heart still longs for you, blinded by the twisted image of love we once shared. Yet, I know that your love is just as distorted as your actions and words, and your kiss would only bring more agony to my soul.
One love, one love
My way, my way
I still believe in the concept of true love, but I no longer accept your twisted version of it. I will find my own way, free from your control and manipulations.
One love, one love
My way, my way
I will love and be loved in my own way, free from your influence and abuse, and I will find true happiness without you.

Love this band, especially with Ryan doing vocals!
Bob Goat
I'm really glad Ryan came back, but I also miss AJ. I think I'm one of the few people that also liked him. He hasn't really moved on to anything else since Soil. It would be cool if the band took turns with singers, or at least when the singers have enough written songs for an album. But I'm not sure how they'd do it live though.

I remember being 12 years old, taking a chance on buying Scars for a fiver. I thought the world of this band and will always have a soft spot for Soil. They could have been up in the ranks with Mudvayne, Linkin Park, Puddle of Mudd and all those bands had the music industry not been so unkind to them. Glad to hear me music from you guys.

@Caleb Smith still active? They haven't released an album since this one. Lol I'm not a troll, you're an idiot.
Caleb Smith
@Kryten 2X4B-523P It's new to me. I haven't listened to anything since Scars. Merely pointing out that I appreciate the band is still active. Back to your cave, troll.
