Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We crave to be kissed by a moment complete in its happiness
Far away from the things that we wish to escape
That lead us to think that we are not awake
We are ourselves despite ourselves
This place gets smaller as the universe swells
We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually
And I am not the only lifeguard who's washed up on the shore
Wake me up, take me out
Call me down when I'm in doubt
And I'm in doubt every day
Words are like weight with density and shape, modifying forms they evaporate
You can choose the truth, you can listen to light
You can lead the charge and still lose the fight
Far be it from me to claim anything
For I am just one in a state of being
I come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually
I am not the only proverb that never really fits
And I am not the only Caulfield who's catching more than kids
Wake me up, take me out
Call me down when I'm in doubt
And I'm in doubt
And so it ends as it begins as everything that is infinite ascends
Into its time all things pass
All things fade, all things last
You are yourself despite yourself
This world grows smaller as the universe swells
We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually
And I am not the only boxer that hasn't words to write
And I am not the only poet who's much too scared to fight
Wake me up, take me out
Call me down when I'm in doubt
And I'm in doubt every day

And it starts like this
We crave to be kissed by a moment complete in its happiness
We are ourselves
The lyrics of the song One Night Only by the group Say Anything are poignant and thought-provoking. The song begins by expressing the desire for a perfect moment of complete happiness, far away from the things one wishes to escape from. The reference to the universe swelling and the world growing smaller is indicative of a feeling of insignificance in comparison to the vastness of the cosmos. The idea of coming to terms with the state of being amidst these feelings of discontent and uncertainty is echoed throughout the song.
As the song progresses, the lyrics speak of the humility of the singer in recognizing their place in the world. The reference to being just one of many cowboys or lifeguards who are washed up on the shore, symbols of a time and place with no context or meaning, speaks to the idea that each of us is but a small part of a larger narrative. Despite the importance each person places on their own life, the song argues that we are all just proverbial figures searching for meaning in this world.
In the end, the song suggests that all things come to pass, but also that all things last. The final lines point to the fact that despite our own internal struggles, we are all still ourselves, singular and unique in our own way.
Line by Line Meaning
And it starts like this
The beginning of an introspective journey
We crave to be kissed by a moment complete in its happiness
We all long for a fleeting moment of pure bliss
Far away from the things that we wish to escape
We desire to escape from the things that cause us pain and discomfort
That lead us to think that we are not awake
These experiences make us doubt if we are really alive and present
We are ourselves despite ourselves
We are who we are, even if we try to be someone else or pretend to be someone else
This place gets smaller as the universe swells
Our world becomes increasingly insignificant in the grand scheme of things
We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually
We eventually accept our situation and make peace with it
I am not the only cowboy in this one-horse metaphor
I am not alone in feeling like an outcast or not fitting in
And I am not the only lifeguard who's washed up on the shore
I am not the only one who feels powerless to help others in need
Words are like weight with density and shape, modifying forms they evaporate
Words can be impactful and meaningful, but they are temporary and eventually fade away
You can choose the truth, you can listen to light
You have the power to choose your own truth and follow your own path
You can lead the charge and still lose the fight
Even if you take charge and fight for what you believe in, you may not always win
Far be it from me to claim anything
I don't want to make grandiose claims or pretend to know everything
For I am just one in a state of being
I am simply one person among many living beings
And so it ends as it begins as everything that is infinite ascends
Everything is cyclical and infinite, with no true beginning or end
Into its time all things pass
Everything in life is temporary and eventually comes to an end
All things fade, all things last
Everything fades away eventually, but memories and legacy can last
You are yourself despite yourself
You are who you are, even if you try to hide or change yourself
This world grows smaller as the universe swells
Our world becomes increasingly insignificant in the grand scheme of things
We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually
We eventually accept our situation and make peace with it
And I am not the only boxer that hasn't words to write
I am not alone in feeling unable to express myself or articulate my thoughts
And I am not the only poet who's much too scared to fight
I am not the only one who is afraid to stand up for what they believe in
Wake me up, take me out
I need help to break free from my doubts and fears
Call me down when I'm in doubt
I need reassurance and a sense of grounding when I feel lost
And I'm in doubt every day
I struggle with doubts and uncertainties constantly

I used to listen to this song for 8 hours on a bus during my study trip to the capital back in 2010. I looked out the window and stared at the scenery along the road. It was one of the most beautiful moments of my life.
