For One
Tears of Mankind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They sing for you, for one
Green leaves - shadows of a wood
Are turned in dance for you, for one
In dark I go to you
In my labyrinth I go through
Pain and sufferings of the mutilated soul
The sky will wash the ground a rain
It will be spilled for you, for one
White clouds with grief will look
As I suffer on you, on one
In dark I go to you
In my labyrinth I go through
Pain and sufferings of the mutilated soul
I close eyes also I fall
Beautiful eyes look at me
Here I for you, for one
Silently cover me black dream
I die for you, for one
The lyrics of Tears of Mankind's "For One" portray a sense of devotion and pain. The singer begins by invoking the voice of the wind and the trees, which sing for "one" - presumably, the person to whom the singer is addressing this poem. The wood's "green leaves" act as "shadows" in a dance for this person, creating a serene and intimate setting. However, the poem quickly takes a darker turn when the singer evokes images of "pain" and "sufferings of the mutilated soul." The singer closes their eyes and falls, indicating a deep sense of despair.
The second stanza continues this tone, with the sky providing a backdrop for the singer's suffering. The rain, which is often seen as cleansing, is specifically "spilled for you, for one," once again indicating a sense of devotion for this person. The singer acknowledges their own pain, indicating that they suffer on this person, indicating a sense of guilt or obligation. The final stanza introduces the idea of death, with the singer saying, "I die for you, for one," indicating a willingness to sacrifice themselves.
Overall, the lyrics of "For One" are quite intense, depicting a love that is all-consuming and, at times, painful. The singer's sense of obligation and compassion are evident throughout the song, making it an emotional and poignant piece of poetry.
