One Way
russian.girls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You hold me back
Guns blaze I’m ready for you
I’m a bomb attack
I took a bite you offered
And all the worms spilled out
It’s hard to keep on walking when you’re breathing upside down
We’re born we rise we die
You cut the peace away and I’m lost but you’re not found
Take me back to where I’ve been
Before it gets too dark
You will never put out the fire in my heart
I’ve been down a one way street baby
Talking to the voice in my head lately
Say what you say, say what you mean
Yeah you don’t say you say everything
I’ve been down a one way street baby yeah yeah
You say you want me back but you’re the last thing on my mind
You wanna be my friend but I don’t like your kind
My hands they start to tremble my bones they start to shake
I knew it from the start that you’d be my mistake
My eyes to see you clearly I'ma see if you what you are
You're just another papa on the road above my heart
Take me back to where I’ve been
Before it gets too dark
You will never put out the fire in my heart
I’ve been down a one way street baby
Talking to the voice in my head lately
Say what you say, say what you mean
Yeah you don’t say you say everything
I’ve been down a one way street baby yeah yeah
Take what you want
It’s all you’ll ever have
You pushed way too hard
There’s no turning back
Paint all your scars
It’s easy to see
Tried way too hard
Couldn’t break me yeahhhh
I’ve been down a one way street baby
Talking to the voice in my head lately
Say what you say, say what you mean
Yeah you don’t say you say everything
I’ve been down a one way street baby yeah yeah
I’ve been down (A one way street)
I’ve been down
I’ve been down (A one way street)
I’ve been down
I’ve been down (A one way street)
I’ve been down
I’ve been down (A one way street)
I’ve been down
The song "One Way" by russian.girls appears to be about a toxic relationship, in which the singer is trying to break free from the hold that her partner has on her. The opening lines describe her attempts to leave, but her partner is insistent on holding her back. She feels ready for a confrontation, like a "bomb attack," and acknowledges that she has made a mistake in trusting them ("I took a bite you offered / And all the worms spilled out"). However, she struggles to keep moving forward when it feels like she is "breathing upside down."
The chorus expresses the singer's desire to return to who she was before this relationship began to affect her life. She recognizes that her partner is causing damage to her heart, but believes that the fire that she feels inside of her will never be fully extinguished. In the second verse, she describes the ways in which her partner has hurt her and how she feels physically affected by their presence. She also notes that she can see through their facade and that she knows they are not good for her.
Overall, "One Way" seems to be a defiant and empowering song about taking control of one's life and leaving behind negative influences. The repeated phrase "I've been down a one way street" emphasizes the idea that the singer has been on a one-way journey towards personal growth and self-discovery, and that there is no turning back.
Line by Line Meaning
I try to get away
I am attempting to distance myself
You hold me back
You prevent me from leaving
Guns blaze I’m ready for you
I am prepared to confront you
I’m a bomb attack
I am a devastating force
I took a bite you offered
I accepted your offer
And all the worms spilled out
And your true intentions were revealed
It’s hard to keep on walking when you’re breathing upside down
It is difficult to move forward when everything is disorienting
We’re born we rise we die
We are born, we succeed, we perish
Fall to the ground
End up defeated
You cut the peace away and I’m lost but you’re not found
You disrupted the tranquility, and now I am uncertain but you remain unaffected
Take me back to where I’ve been
Bring me back to my previous state
Before it gets too dark
Before everything becomes bleak
You will never put out the fire in my heart
You will never extinguish my passion
I’ve been down a one way street baby
I have been on a path of no return
Talking to the voice in my head lately
Conversing with my internal thoughts recently
Say what you say, say what you mean
Be truthful with what you say
Yeah you don’t say you say everything
Even when you're not speaking, your actions speak louder
Take what you want
Take whatever you desire
It’s all you’ll ever have
It is the only thing you will possess
You pushed way too hard
You exerted excessive force
There’s no turning back
There is no opportunity to reverse the course of events
Paint all your scars
Cover up all your wounds
It’s easy to see
It is quite apparent
Tried way too hard
Attempted excessively
Couldn’t break me yeahhhh
You were unable to defeat me

César Sánchez
Era un monje loco en rusia tiempo atrás
Era grande y fuerte con fuego en su mirar
La gente al verlo sentía gran temor
Pero hacia soñar a las niñas de Moscú
Predicaba con fuerza sus palabras
Y hasta los podía hechizar
y también era como un maestro
y se hacia amar
RA RA RASPUTIN
Ambicioso siempre fue
Toda rusia se le entrego
RA RA RASPUTIN
Una maquina de amor
Que lastima lo que le paso
Tenia gran poder y de todo se adueño
Y a la multitud le asombro lo que logro
Sabia hacer el amor sabia complacer
Aunque valiente no fue sabia hacerlo bien
Y la reina pensaba que era bueno
Aunque oía cosas de el
Y la reina pensaba que era un santo
Y a su hijo iba a curar
RA RA RASPUTIN
Ambicioso siempre fue
Toda rusia se le entrego
RA RA RASPUTIN
Una maquina de amor
Que lastima lo que le paso
Pero le gustaba tomar
Un último vodka y nos vamos
Y sus enemigos le aconsejaron al rey que lo desterrara
Más no quiso hacer nada contra este hombre
Que ya había logrado tanto y organizo UN FIESTON
Trataron de darle toloache en el café
Pero la mujer que lo amaba lo evito
Pobre RASPUTIN su suerte termino
Y la gente pronto solo lo dejo
Y así fue que durante la noche lo trataron de matar
Y así fue que después de tener tanto
Sin nada quedo
RA RA RSPUTIN
Ambicioso siempre fue
Toda rusia se le entrego
RA RA RASPUTIN
una maquina de amor
Que lastima lo que le paso

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the Bible like a preacher
Full of ecstasy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire
Ra ra Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
Ra ra Rasputin
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on
He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Czar
But the kazachok he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son
Ra ra Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
Ra ra Rasputin
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on
But when his drinking and lusting
And his hunger for power
Became known to more and more people
The demands to do something
About this outrageous man
Became louder and louder
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
"This man's just got to go", declared his enemies
But the ladies begged, "Don't you try to do it, please"
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute, they just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap, they're not to blame
"Come to visit us", they kept demanding
And he really came
Ra ra Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine
Ra ra Rasputin
Russia's greatest love machine
He drank it all and said, "I feel fine"
Ra ra Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
Ra ra Rasputin
Russia's greatest love machine
And so they shot him 'til he was dead
Oh, those Russians

This isn't just a song. It's a story about a certain man in Russia long ago who was big and strong, whos eyes were a flaming glow. However, when most people looked at him, they felt terror and fear. But the chicks from Moscow saw him as such a lovely dear.

It's amazing how Rasputin became a myth within 100 years. If you read his story it's no wonder people believed him to be a wizard. He managed some bizzare things. Some people believe he still is alive today as Putin.

Imposible, Rasputin era muy alto; pero Putin sí podría ser Elías.

He was one of our topics in our history lesson, the exact lyrics were what my teacher used. At the time, I never thought one day I would hear it as a song. The tune and the harmony is just right. Well done, Boney M.
