One Time
p-rallel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Battling these demons in my mind
So I grab a pen and paper and try to fight them every line
Cause in these times
I feel I'm lost in the system
And I would love to listen but I ain't got the time
To reminiscent all my dreams and all my visions that I want you all to listen
But I got to go to work and pour some drinks in
But the alarm goes off every time I'm dreaming
There is just too much stress and too much less
Everybody's running so damn fast we're just like flash
So I grab this stash, and slow it down
I'm not going
Out
I won't go out tonight
Cause I don't want to leave
I've been lost in my mind
Searching for peace
Well all the clouds are going mad there's pressure right behind
But let's find a place in oblivion tonight, and it's fine
Cause there will be a day tomorrow that I won't sit in sorrow
Let's leave the world behind
I need some time to put these words in a rhyme
I have anxiety in a society allways battling time
Everbody's earning the cut but who is paying for mine
I let slide, I'm allright, let's try to minimalize
We don't need a house this size let's build a house on a beach
And sleep under the stars we could be living the dream
But we've been caught up in this game buy all this sh*t we don't need
Cameras are making pictures everyone's saying cheese
Let's take a trip down to memory lane there's no shame
In remembering the times when life gave lemonade
It's insane let's go back to the days
With no rain only sunshine
We don't complain
I won't go out tonight
Cause I don't want to leave
I've been lost in my mind
Searching for peace
Do you remember
Those days, we'd be hanging out outside until our minds were blazed
Even in December
But times change now the only time you get is the time you take
You take

Line by Line Meaning
I need some time
I need some space and freedom to clear my mind of all the demons troubling me
Battling these demons in my mind
Struggling to cope with my inner fears and worries
So I grab a pen and paper and try to fight them every line
Using writing as a therapeutic tool to confront and overcome my mental challenges
Cause in these times
During these moments of anxiety and chaos
I feel I'm lost in the system
I feel disconnected and stifled by the complexities and demands of modern society
And I would love to listen but I ain't got the time
I desire to be more attentive and receptive to others, but my schedule is too busy and overwhelming
To reminiscent all my dreams and all my visions that I want you all to listen
To reflect on my aspirations and ideals that I wish to share with you all
But I got to go to work and pour some drinks in
My daily duties and obligations prevent me from pursuing my personal goals and passions
I need some time to catch a glimps of freedom
I yearn for a brief moment of liberation from the oppressive routine of my life
But the alarm goes off every time I'm dreaming
My aspirations and fantasies are constantly interrupted and crushed by the harsh realities of my existence
There is just too much stress and too much less
The pressure and demands of my life are excessive and disproportionate to the rewards and pleasures I receive
Everybody's running so damn fast we're just like flash
Everyone is rushing through life at a frenetic pace, without pausing to appreciate the beauty and depth of their experiences
So I grab this stash, and slow it down
I use this marijuana as a way to calm down and relax, to slow down the hectic rhythm of my life
I'm not going Out
I'm not going to leave my current state of mind and indulge in frivolous or harmful activities
Cause I don't want to leave
I prefer to remain in my inner world, where I can feel safe and comfortable
I've been lost in my mind
I've been trapped in my own thoughts and emotions, unable to escape or find solace
Searching for peace
Seeking a sense of inner calm and tranquility that eludes me
Well all the clouds are going mad there's pressure right behind
The world around me is chaotic and stressful, and it feels like I'm constantly under siege
But let's find a place in oblivion tonight, and it's fine
Let's retreat into our own private, intimate space where we can forget about the outside world and its problems
Cause there will be a day tomorrow that I won't sit in sorrow
I hope that tomorrow will bring a brighter, happier future where my present pain and sadness will be eased or gone
Let's leave the world behind
Let's abandon the stress and chaos of our lives and embark on a journey of self-discovery and redemption
I need some time to put these words in a rhyme
I need some space and inspiration to create something meaningful and artistic
I have anxiety in a society allways battling time
In this fast-paced and competitive world, I feel overwhelmed and besieged by the unrelenting pressure to succeed and achieve
Everbody's earning the cut but who is paying for mine
Everyone seems to be benefiting from the system and earning their rewards, but I feel left out and overlooked
I let slide, I'm allright, let's try to minimalize
I try to let go of my resentments and grievances, to accept my situation and be content with what I have
We don't need a house this size let's build a house on a beach
We don't need to conform to society's norms and standards, we can create our own lifestyle and values that suit us
And sleep under the stars we could be living the dream
We can live a simple, humble life that is filled with beauty and wonder, that is more fulfilling and satisfying than the shallow pleasures of consumerism
But we've been caught up in this game buy all this sh*t we don't need
We've been mesmerized and entrapped by the lure of consumer culture, that convinces us to value things that are worthless and superficial
Cameras are making pictures everyone's saying cheese
Social media and self-promotion have become obsessions that consume us and distort our perceptions of reality and identity
Let's take a trip down to memory lane there's no shame
Let's cherish and appreciate the simple, innocent memories of our past, that are still valuable and meaningful despite the passage of time
In remembering the times when life gave lemonade
In evoking the nostalgic, bittersweet feelings of a time when we were more carefree and idealistic, when we believed that life was full of possibilities and opportunities
It's insane let's go back to the days
It's crazy how much we've lost and how little we've gained in our journey through life, let's try to recapture some of the joy and spontaneity of our youth
With no rain only sunshine
With no regrets or sorrows, only happiness and optimism
Do you remember
Do you recall those bygone days when things were simpler and more innocent
Those days, we'd be hanging out outside until our minds were blazed
Those moments when we would spend hours hanging out with our friends, exploring the world and ourselves, without a care or worry in our minds
Even in December
Even during the coldest and darkest days of winter, we would find warmth and joy in each other's company
But times change now the only time you get is the time you take
As we grow older and more jaded, time becomes a scarce and precious resource that we must seize and exploit to our advantage
You take
You must be proactive and assertive in your pursuit of happiness and fulfillment, for no one else will do it for you
