One Lyrics
We are the lost
The ones forgotten
And this time
The future is ours
It's in our hands
We're the tear in your eyes
We're the blood in your veins
We're the beat of your heart
We're the sweat on your face
We're the ones that you chase
We're the promise that you made
We're the voice in head your head
We're the lies that you said
We're the kids that you pushed away
We are
We are the lost
The ones forgotten
And this time
The future is ours
It's in our hands
We are one
We're the pride of your lives
We're the light shining deep in your eyes
We're the choice that you made
We're the smile on your face
When you sleep at night
We're the best thing you had
But you left us behind
We're the kids that you pushed away
We are
We are the lost
The ones forgotten
And this time
The future is ours
It's in our hands
We are one
One
We're the pain that you feel
We're the scars that don't heal
We're the tear in your eyes
We're the reason you cry
We're the voice in your head
We're the lies that you said
We're the best thing you had
But you pushed us away
We are the lost
The ones forgotten
And this time
The future is ours
It's in our hands
We are
We are the lost
The ones forgotten
And we've got nothing to lose
Together we stand up tall
We are one
The ones forgotten
And this time
The future is ours
It's in our hands
We're the blood in your veins
We're the beat of your heart
We're the ones that you chase
We're the promise that you made
We're the lies that you said
We're the kids that you pushed away
We are
The ones forgotten
And this time
The future is ours
It's in our hands
We are one
We're the light shining deep in your eyes
We're the choice that you made
We're the smile on your face
When you sleep at night
But you left us behind
We're the kids that you pushed away
We are
The ones forgotten
And this time
The future is ours
It's in our hands
We are one
One
We're the scars that don't heal
We're the tear in your eyes
We're the reason you cry
We're the voice in your head
We're the lies that you said
We're the best thing you had
But you pushed us away
The ones forgotten
And this time
The future is ours
It's in our hands
We are the lost
The ones forgotten
And we've got nothing to lose
Together we stand up tall
We are one

Here's my interpretation:
It's about the teenage/young adult generation.
"We are the ones, the ones forgotten, and this time the future is ours. It’s in our hands" This line is saying that as young adults, we are sometimes forgotten or pushed aside, by parents or society or whatnot, but that in the end, we are the future.
"We’re the tear in your eyes, we’re the blood in your veins, we’re the beat of your heart." This line, as well as all the other lines that start out "We're the..." is talking about the teenagers' parents, especially with this verse:
"We’re the pride of your lives We’re the light shining deep in your eyes We’re the choice that you made We’re the smile on your face when you sleep at night"
"Nothing to lose, together we stand up tall, we are one." That line is saying that as the next generation, we need to work together.
Yeah, so mostly I think this song is about parents and their teenagers and how the teenagers are the future.
Any other interpretations?
Yeah, this song is kinda hard to interpretate, but you hit it right on the nose.
Since younger people are often pushed aside or unotticed, this song is describing what the younger generation are feeling about others ignoring them.
Yep, this was hard tobinterpretate at first, but eventually you get it.
We are the ones (Whoever the person is) The ones forgotten (Forgotten by their parents) And this time (Now they are older) The future is ours (Their generation is the future) It’s in our hands (Their generation)
We’re the tear in your eyes (Parents cry after the birth of a baby, or after they find out they are having a child) We’re the blood in your veins (Parents are blood relation to their children) We’re the beat of your heart (Children touch the parents heart everyday)
We’re the sweat on your face (As toddlers parents get a workout once they learn how to walk and talk) We’re the ones that you chased (Again after the child learns how to walk parents chase them around the house) We’re the promise that you made (Parents always make a silent promise to themselves about what they will do as a parent)
We’re the voice in head your head (Forced to think about what is best for the children, children are the voice in the back of their head) We’re the lies that you said (This child believes that the parent abandoned them therefore did not keep their promise) We’re the kids that you pushed away (Abandoned their child) We are…
We are the ones (The children) The ones forgotten (Forgotten by their parents) And this time (Now) The future is ours (They are the future for their own generation) It’s in our hands We are one (They are all together)
We’re the pride of your lives (Parents are proud of their children) We’re the light shining deep in your eyes (Parents have a twinkle in their eyes as they watch their children grow) We’re the choice that you made (The parents choose to keep/raise the child) We’re the smile on your face when you sleep at night (Parents often think about their children and smile)
We’re the best thing you had (Tried to be what they wanted) But you left us behind (Still they were pushed away) We’re the kids that you pushed away We are…
We are the ones The ones forgotten And this time The future is ours It’s in our hands We are one One…
We’re the pain that you feel (As a teenager, rebelious they cause the parents pain for neglecting them) We’re the scars that don’t heal (They leave permanent scars with the parents) We’re the tear in your eyes (They are crying because they failed not because they are proud/happy now) We’re the reason you cry (Cause the parents to cry)
We’re the voice in head your head We’re the lies that you said We’re the best think you had but you pushed us away
We are the ones The ones forgotten And this time The future is ours It’s in our hands We are one One…
We are the ones The ones forgotten And we've got Nothing to lose Together we stand up tall (The entire generation is in charge of changing the future) We are one
Basically it is about how a child is raised and how it will affect how they treat the parents later on in life.
*Also there is a few messed up lyrics feet (Should be BEAT) are (Should be WE'VE GOT)
this song is about kinda the kids that were picked on and the kids who are underdogs and the ones that are yes forgotten about and it about them rising up and changing the future b/c its their turn to do something
Correction in the lyrics... It's supposed to be "We are the lost, the ones forgotten" and not "We are the ones, the ones forgotten". I know because I have the CD. Anyway, I think this is a song about things in the past like decisions made and words said that have come back to haunt someone even if they have long been forgotten. This is one of my favorites from the new album. I often find myself popping in the CD and changing to track 10 when I have nothing to do.
i agree with Yasmine14. this song is kinda saying that only the new generation wicch is us, can change the future that we can keep disasters from happening such as columbine and other such tragedies. that even though parents will always end up ignoring their children, they have friends that can hlep them through things and together they can accomplish anything
"we're the kids you pushed away" definatly the kids outcasted. I can relate to that soo much. "we're the voice in your head" i think they're talking about the bully's concience..like the voice they get when they start to feel bad. I love how on "we're the beat of your hearts" the drums get louder.
"One" is the title of a song by METALLICA!!!!!!! LONG LIVE METAL AND DOWN WITH POSERS
