One Life
Wrethov Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"What if god told you
To write a masterpiece?
Would you tell 'I'm you couldn't read?"

There's only one life
It's right here, it's right now
What is pain
Do you really wanna live this way?
Do you really wanna live this way?
Only one life
It's right here, it's right now
What is pain
Do you really wanna live this way?
Tell me do you wanna live this way?

"Wise men say
Life is what happens
While you're busy making plans
Life's not a rehersal
Gotta live it while you can
And getting a second chance
Is my blame and circumstance
Is that what men in the mirror
Read it and chase for answears, hey!
I could have defended me and the best
My family's car crashed
My brother fall getting stucked
Perhaps then, turn up the van and loosing my day
Shaking that our glass reverse to stand back
But the wheels on the bus keep rolling
Rolling all goin' aint nobody really knowin'
It's just flowin' a moment that
Can't be gone and admit it
So you gotta give heart
Never be timid, ahhh"

There's only one life
It's right here, it's right now
What is pain
Do you really wanna live this way?
Do you really wanna live this way?
Only one life
It's right here, it's right now
What is pain
Do you really wanna live this way?
Tell me do you wanna live this way?

"Complaining bout misdemeanors
While millions of people starve
Rather spend money shoppin' or sending gadgets to mars
Wintertime keep our cars in heated garage
For the homeless in the winter heat is just a mirage
I ain't saying I can change the world
Rappin' these bars but I can give a voice
Support the people and get involved
Increase the love decrease hatred
And the scars that too many of us
Carry all buried up in our hearts
Brother we can do some or we can do none
Ignorance is similar to a loaded gun
So don't let it pop off or we're all done
We've only got one"

There's only one life
It's right here, it's right now
What is pain
Do you really wanna live this way?
Do you really wanna live this way?
Only one life
It's right here, it's right now
What is pain
Do you really wanna live this way?
Tell me do you wanna live this way?

"Your only got one life
And now we takes
Got ass for self"

Do you really wanna live this way?
"this way"
Only one life
It's right here, it's right now
What is pain
Do you really wanna live this way?
"this way"
Do you really wanna live this way?
"this way"
Only one life
It's right here, "right here"
It's right now, "right now"
What is pain
Do you really wanna live this way?
"this way"




Tell me do you wanna live this waaay?
"Think about it."

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Wrethov's song One Life pose a philosophical question: what if God gave you the opportunity to create something great, but you declined because you believed He could not read. This metaphorical statement is meant to remind the listener of the power and responsibility to create something that might impact the world, for better or for worse. The chorus of the song continues to underscore the importance of living in the present, as there is only one life and it is happening now. There is no time to waste on living with pain or perpetuating negativity.


The first verse of the song draws on the idea that life is unpredictable, and that we cannot plan for everything. Our chance to live the life we want is already happening, and we must embrace it. The second verse questions the priorities of people in modern society, pointing out how many waste resources and neglect the needs of those less fortunate. The chorus repeats the idea that we have a choice about how we live our life, and we must take responsibility for that choice. The final line of the song urges listeners to think about the message of the song and the importance of making decisions that will allow them to live their best life.

Wise men say
According to wise individuals


Life is what happens
Life is not pre-planned; it occurs unpredictably


While you're busy making plans
You tend to make plans while life is happening


Life's not a rehersal
This life is all there is; there are no do-overs


Gotta live it while you can
You must live life to the fullest while you have the chance


And getting a second chance
If you do get a second chance


Is my blame and circumstance
It is due to the situation and my responsibility


Is that what men in the mirror
Do we reflect and analyze ourselves


Read it and chase for answears, hey!
And search for answers


I could have defended me and the best
I could have saved myself and my family


My family's car crashed
My car and brother were involved in a car accident


My brother fall getting stucked
My brother was hurt and trapped


Perhaps then, turn up the van and loosing my day
Maybe I'd increase the volume to forget the day's events


Shaking that our glass reverse to stand back
Regretting the past and wanting to go back


But the wheels on the bus keep rolling
Life goes on, it never stops


Rolling all goin' aint nobody really knowin'
Life continues to move forward, with no knowledge of what will come next


It's just flowin' a moment that
Life just passes by like a flowing river


Can't be gone and admit it
Being truthful and accepting the moment, which can never be retrieved


So you gotta give heart
Therefore, you must put your heart into everything you do in life


Never be timid, ahhh
Never be scared or fearful


Complaining bout misdemeanors
Complaining about trivial things


While millions of people starve
When millions of people across the world are starving


Rather spend money shoppin' or sending gadgets to mars
Instead of helping those in need, people prefer to buy materialistic things or explore space


Wintertime keep our cars in heated garage
During winter, we keep our cars in a heated garage for comfort


For the homeless in the winter heat is just a mirage
Homeless people in the winter have no source of warmth


I ain't saying I can change the world
I'm not claiming I can change the world single-handedly


Rappin' these bars but I can give a voice
Although, my ability is limited to music, I can give people a voice


Support the people and get involved
Support and get involved in helping people in need


Increase the love decrease hatred
Encourage more love and discourage hate


And the scars that too many of us
People have emotional scars that impact them daily


Carry all buried up in our hearts
They carry emotional pain, which is buried deep in their hearts


Brother we can do some or we can do none
We can either stand up for those in need or do nothing


Ignorance is similar to a loaded gun
Lack of knowledge is parallel to holding a dangerous weapon


So don't let it pop off or we're all done
Don't let it go off, or all will be lost


Do you really wanna live this way?
Do you want to dwell in negativity?


Your only got one life
We only have one life to live


And now we takes
We need to live in the moment


Got ass for self
Be selfish and do what is best for you


Think about it.
Reflect and ponder on this

dziwne, że jest mało sławny... koleś tworzy zajebistą muzykę

Dariusz Skrzypczak

Nie są sławni, bo nie sprzedali się elitom i ich muzyka ma przekaz - wsłuchaj się w niego.

Shaylo

@Dariusz Skrzypczak Nie wiem czy każdy sie sprzedaje, nie siedzę w tej lidze, ale masa reperczyków jest sławniejszych gdzie bidolą o gównie, a takie cudo nie potrafi się wybić na świecie. Przykre .

Piotr Maciejewski

Moje początki na siłce przy tej nucie 7 lat temu, a teraz ją odnalazłem. Co za wspomnienia. Miłego dnia ☺️
