Lyrics for One as interpreted by spitfirek7

One Lyrics
Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame

You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
It's one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you don't care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Well it's too late
Tonight
To drag the past out
Into the light
We're one
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One

Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come tor raise the dead
Havew you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again

You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should

One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers

One life
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other

One

One.

Bono hates it when this song is played at weddings because it's somewhat of an anti-love song. It illustrates the separating differences between us as a human beings. That said, by the end of the song it appeals to much broader philosophical ideas.

I think there are clear allusions to Christian hypocrisy about not following through on the ideals of love and brotherhood/sisterhood. We all say love is our highest value, yet some of us will go out of our way to prevent others from having that happiness. To me, the scenario in the song is clearly about coming out to one's parents. But the general message, that is, we should stop fighting one another over our differences in light of the fact that we all have the same fundamental needs and are all subject to death, is a universal one.

I think it's likely that this song is probably about higher values related to people constantly hurting each other, hypocrisy and universal love. Regardless, it is inextricably linked, for me, to the first girl I ever loved who couldn't love me that same way. Still kinda makes me sad when I hear it years on, but at the same time proud of my life's experiences.

what i get from it is both the fall out with oneself and how that is really the basis of hurt when we break up with someone who we loved and whom loved us; and how we are all the same from the same place, our feelings and emotions proove that its just superficial beliefs and opinions that drive us apart. when i listen to it i think of the ego and superego figures battling it out, the concious and unconcious fighting if you know what i mean!

one of the best songs ever written everyone can get something meaningful from it. i remember i had the lyrics written on a book at school and the teacher read it and was noticibly affected by the lyrics he was quiet for the rest of the class!

This has got to be one of the greatest written songs ever. It's clearly saying that we need to stop hurting eachother, and that love is the only way.
