just once
Son of Rust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
your breath across my skin
how could such a simple thing mean so much
I need to feel you from within
just once
I'd like you to be here with me
just once
just once
I'd show you how things could be
just once
I'd show you what is real
to you
did I mean anything
or are memories just that to you
you can't go on alone forever
see inside me
feel the same way too
so many years spent wasted
with no regrets to give
but now that I have tasted
well it's the only reason I have to live
These lyrics are about a forbidden love that is just out of reach for the singer. They long for the intimacy and connection that they feel when they are with their lover, but it is forbidden and cannot happen again. The idea that such a simple thing can mean so much is powerful, emphasizing the intensity of the emotions involved.
The singer is consumed with the desire to feel their lover from within, indicating a deep connection and level of intimacy that they crave. However, they know that they can only experience this feeling once, making it all the more bittersweet.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of regret and wasted time. The singer has spent so many years without this level of intense emotion and it's only since experiencing this love that they feel like they have a reason to live. The implication is that they wish they had experienced this earlier in life and are left with a sense of regret.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of longing and regret for a love that can never truly be. The singer is consumed with their desire for this person, but knows that it can only happen once.

In reference to you
did I mean anything
Was I significant to you at all
or are memories just that to you
Or, are the memories we shared irrelevant to you
you can't go on alone forever
You cannot persist in solitude indefinitely
see inside me
Get a glimpse of who I truly am
feel the same way too
Experience the same feelings as me
so many years spent wasted
Numerous years exhausted unproductively
with no regrets to give
Without any remorse to express
but now that I have tasted
But since I have experienced it
well it's the only reason I have to live
It's the sole motivation that fuels my life now

Seriously how does a song this underground and synthy sounding end up on some corporate grocery store play list?!? This plays at my work too, winn-dixie.

Haha that's how I found it too!

I work at Walgreens and they always play this song. It sounded so fucking dope. I truly cannot believe Son of Rust gets played at tons of retail stores apparently.

Wow, sounds like this song is really popular at grocery stores! I hear it all the time at the Safeway I work at. Along with jazz and frantic clarinet playing with no rhythm.

I love when this comes on at Giant while I work! Makes my day

This song does a wonderful job of describing how some men live their lives. :D Now that I have tasted, it's the only reason I have left to live. Just once I want you to be here with me, Just I'd like to tell you how I feel. Just once I'd show you how things could be, Just once I'd show you what is real.
