We Are One
U.B.P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some things good and most things bad
But if you'd be my lover
I'd be more than what I am
And drifting on your ocean
I could shut my engines down
But deeper currents were in store
And I'm not anchored anymore
I wasn't listening before
Your lips your tongue your hands your feet
You gave everything back to me
I want you need you to feel free
Now all I want is to be this free
To touch to feel what you give me
We are one body
We are one spirit
One breath
One dream of life and death
One God
One sex
It's in your solar system
It's in my super star
There's nothing more persistent
Than the planet of our heart
The flame that is between us
Could set every soul on fire
And I would love to take that heat
Let's fill the whole world with desire
Your kiss your kisses set me free
It's too painful to deny
Your lips your tongue your hands your feet
History it's illusion
I want you need you to feel free
Come on make love to exclusion
To touch to feel what you give me
We are one body
We are one spirit
One breath
One dream of life and death
One God
One sex
We are one body
We are one spirit
One breath
One dream of life and death
One God
One sex
The opening lines of the song "We Are One" by U.B.P describe how the artist used to perceive the world - as a place filled with mostly bad things and a few good ones. However, this perspective begins to shift when the artist meets their lover. They speak of being able to turn off their "engines" and drift in the ocean of their love. But, deeper currents of emotion and connection are present and the artist finds themselves unanchored from their previous worldview. The lover's kisses, lips, tongue, hands, and feet are described as giving the artist the freedom they had been seeking. They sing about wanting and needing this freedom and connecting with their lover on a deeper level.
The chorus repeats the phrase "we are one" multiple times, emphasizing the idea that the artist and their lover are not separate entities but rather part of a larger whole. They describe themselves as one body, one spirit, and one breath, followed by the portrayal of a shared dream of life and death. The phrase "one God, one sex" stands out as an interesting and potentially controversial addition to the chorus. It can be interpreted as a statement about the universality of spiritual connection and physical intimacy.
Overall, the song "We Are One" celebrates the idea of finding love and connection that transcends the limitations of individuality. The descriptions of the lover's touch and the repetition of the phrase "we are one" suggest a desire for unity and harmony.

I used to view the world as
I previously had a pessimistic view of the world
Some things good and most things bad
I saw very few good things in the world
But if you'd be my lover
But if you became my partner
I'd be more than what I am
I would become greater than my current self
And drifting on your ocean
And being lost in your presence
I could shut my engines down
I could stop trying to control everything
But deeper currents were in store
But there were more complex forces at work
And I'm not anchored anymore
And I am no longer held in place
Your kiss your kisses set me free
Your affection and love liberated me
I wasn't listening before
I was not paying attention to what I truly needed
Your lips your tongue your hands your feet
Every bit of you gave me back myself
You gave everything back to me
You returned all of what was missing in me
I want you need you to feel free
I crave your love to be released from my chains
Now all I want is to be this free
Now, my only desire is to be liberated like this
To touch to feel what you give me
To experience and cherish the love that you offer
We are one body
We are an inseparable entity
We are one spirit
We have a shared essence
One breath
We share the same life and energy
One dream of life and death
We have a common aspiration for life and its conclusion
One God
We share the same deity
One sex
We share the same biological sex
It's in your solar system
Your connection is like a solar system for me
It's in my super star
It is my source of power and brilliance
There's nothing more persistent
There is nothing more steadfast
Than the planet of our heart
Than the devoted emotion of our hearts for each other
The flame that is between us
The passionate affection that exists between us
Could set every soul on fire
Could ignite a fire in every person's soul
And I would love to take that heat
And I would embrace that warmth
Let's fill the whole world with desire
Let's spread the idea of passionate love globally
It's too painful to deny
It is too difficult to reject this love
History it's illusion
Our pasts were not real, only our present is
Come on make love to exclusion
Love and commit to each other exclusively
