One Thing
Soulsavers (feat. Dave Gahan) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When she walks into the room
With the light that's almost way too much for me
Ain't it something
When waves crash on the shore
The oceans are wilder than before
It's a different world today
No one seems to care much anyway
They don't know what they're fighting for
There's always life on Mars out there for me
You just need one thing
Love
Ain't it something
When you stare up to the stars
And you wonder how we could have come this far
Don't say nothing
Just lay down next to me
We can watch those tasteless shows on our TV
It's a different world today
No one seems to care much anyway
Don't listen to what they say
They don't know what they're fighting for
You just need one thing
You just need one thing
Love
There's always one thing
That takes me far away
When I don't hear a single word you say
There's always something
That makes me want to stay
There's really nothing more to say
You just need one thing
Love
You just need one thing
Love
The song "One Thing" by Soulsavers featuring Dave Gahan is a beautiful and reflective song that speaks to the longing for love and the need for companionship. The opening lines express the overwhelming feeling that comes with being in the presence of someone you love, as if their light is too powerful to bear. The metaphor of waves crashing on a shore and the untamed ocean alludes to the uncontrollable nature of love, and how it can sweep you away without warning.
The lyrics then take a turn to acknowledge the chaotic nature of the world around us, and how it seems that no one cares anymore. The call to not listen to what others have to say and to find solace in ourselves and our desire for love is a powerful message in a world filled with noise and distractions. The repetition of the phrase "you just need one thing, love" reinforces the idea that love is ultimately what we all need and crave.

Ain’t it something
Isn't it remarkable?
When she walks into the room
When she enters the room
With the light that’s almost way too much for me
With the intensity that almost overwhelms me
Ain’t it something
Isn't it remarkable?
When waves crash on the shore
When the waves hit the shore
The oceans are wilder than before
The seas are more savage than ever
It’s a different world today
Today's world is different than it was before
No one seems to care much anyway
People don't seem to care much regardless
Don’t listen to what they say
Ignore what they say
They don’t know what they’re fighting for
They are unaware of what they're fighting for
There’s always life on Mars out there for me
There's always a possibility of a better life
You just need one thing
All you need is one thing
Love
And that one thing is love
Ain’t it something
Isn't it remarkable?
When you stare up to the stars
When you look up at the stars
And you wonder how we could have come this far
And you wonder how we have made it this far
Don’t say nothing
Don't say anything
Just lay down next to me
Just lay down beside me
We can watch those tasteless shows on our TV
We can watch those mindless shows on television
There’s always one thing
There is always one thing
That takes me far away
That transports me to another place
When I don’t hear a single word you say
When I don't hear any of your words
There’s always something
There is always something
That makes me want to stay
That makes me want to stay
There’s really nothing more to say
There isn't anything else to say
You just need one thing
All you need is one thing
Love
And that one thing is love
You just need one thing
All you need is one thing
Love
And that one thing is love

Genau. Was wirklich in all unserem Leben wichtig ist - ist die Liebe.
Zu wenig geschätzt, oftmals abgewertet, nachhallend in allen Gassen,
ob abschmetternd, verprassend, ignorierend,
ist doch auf allen Straßen: Die Liebe das Leben.
Ohne Liebe kein Leben.
Ich sah zu viele ohne Liebe.
Ich sah zu viele mit Wut.
Ich sah zu viele mit Mauern.
Ich sah zu viele leiden.
Ich sah zu viele wegsehen.
Doch ein Blick reicht, der mir Hoffnung schenkt.
Oder ein Lächeln, die meine Augen berühren.
Genau indem zeigt...die Liebe ist nicht verloren...
Ein kleiner Funke,
anders genannt Hoffnung,
dass die Liebe das Feuer entfacht,
und Jenes entmacht,
das Tod und Leid bringt,
Tag und Nacht.

Так воздушно, как Дэйв Гаан Великий не сделает никто. Просто улёт, космос. Он ВЕЧНЫЙ Музыкант, ТАЛАНТ от Всевышнего. Он с нами навечно
