The One You Left Behind
Yotto feat. Vök Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Racing so fast
Faster I get to you
Beating so hard
My body's trembling
Listen closely
But your mind keeps telling your...
Repeating yourself
Repeating your memory
Repeating your memory
Repeating your memory
Wow-ooh...

Racing so fast
Faster I get to you
Beating so hard
My body's trembling
Listen closely
But your mind keeps telling your...
Repeating yourself
Repeating your memory

Can you feel
Can you feel my heartbeat
I'm not the one
I'm just the one you left behind
Can you feel
Can you feel my heartbeat
I'm not the one
I'm just the one you left behind

I'm not the one





I'm not the one
One...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Yotto feat. Vök's song "The One You Left Behind" convey the feeling of longing and desperation after being left behind by someone. The verses describe racing towards the one who left, with a heart beating so hard that the body trembles, only to be faced with the reality that the person is gone and only a memory remains. The repetition of the line "repeating your memory" emphasizes the pain and frustration of being unable to let go of the past and move on.


The chorus then asks the person who left if they can feel the singer's heartbeat and reminds them that they were not the one who left, but rather the one left behind. The repeated line "I'm not the one" emphasizes the feeling of being left behind and not being in control of the situation.


Overall, the song speaks to the universal experience of heartbreak and the struggle to let go of someone who has already moved on. The lyrics are emotional and raw, conveying the pain and intensity of the situation.
