Once
Vickers Diana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here's my heart, what's left of it
In this town, I used to listen
Once, Once, Yeah
I had hope, blind faith
had as much as you can take
I'm only gonna let you kill me then some
I'm only gonna let you kill me
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once
Ashes burn the morning after
Only know I'm here to stay
I was so, I let you see me
That was dumb, but that's OK
Tripping down to your place
What is love anyway
I'm only gonna let you kill me once
I'm only gonna let you kill me then some
I'm only gonna let you kill me
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
I'm only gonna let you kill me
Who or whatever you do
Don't let anyone love you
Touch them where it hurts
And then you'll leave
I'm only gonna let you kill me once
I'm only gonna let you kill me then some
I'm only gonna let you kill me
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
I'm only gonna let you kill me
The song "Once" by Vickers Diana discusses a relationship that has come to an end but the singer can't seem to let go. The lyrics begin by stating that there is now a careful distance between the two individuals, a distance that has not always been there. The singer reveals that what is left of their heart is still present and they used to listen to their partner in this town before. Then we have the repetition of the word "Once" which suggests that the singer wishes to take it back to the time when everything was fun and could be done again if only once.
The second verse makes it clear that the singer was foolish to reveal too much of themselves to their partner. They were blinded by hope and faith and allowed themselves to be hurt. They now intend to protect themselves by ensuring that they are only hurt once. The singer believes that love is not a good thing and is rather confused about what love is. The bridge advises caution and warns not to let anyone love you as you will end up hurt.
Overall, the song discusses the complexities of love and pain in relationships. The singer is aware of their previous mistakes and wants to protect themselves from further pain.

I'm watching this video after I don't know how many years and it still look so stylish. Simple but such a good video. And of course the song is great too.

This is honestly a time capsule of late 2000s/early 2010s trend in fashion and music 😂 and I still love it so much 10 years later!
