One and Done Lyrics
[Intro]
I was dreaming of you
You're in my dreams
My old pal looks shaky with a cigarette in his hand
Salt and pepper sprinkled on his face and on his head
Looks like he might start crying, is it just something that I said?
Let’s take a walk around the block
This fleeting feeling is infinite
Around here we’ve been wondering what tomorrow’s going to sing
On the final field recording from the loud Anthropocene
I’ve seen the sparkle of the diamonds on the watch of the emcee
It’s not keeping time, just shining
It’s not the first time you said, one and done
And oh my god
And oh my god
Stood in your prom dress all covered in blood
What you sacrificed will never be enough
This whole town looks empty but we knew it wouldn’t last
Behind bulletproof windows they’re still wiring the cash
Whatever they could scrape up, whatever that they had
There’s a lot of mouths to feed through this famine
This room seems even smaller now than I remember it
Hung mirrors on the walls and the ceiling
There’s no disguising it
There’s no denying it
This little box fits everything there is
It’s not the first dance you said, one and done
And oh my god
Baby oh my god
Came to the wedding you were looking rough
Watch the masochists all celebrating love
Come up!
Come up!
I was dreaming of you
You're in my dreams
Salt and pepper sprinkled on his face and on his head
Looks like he might start crying, is it just something that I said?
Let’s take a walk around the block
This fleeting feeling is infinite
On the final field recording from the loud Anthropocene
I’ve seen the sparkle of the diamonds on the watch of the emcee
It’s not keeping time, just shining
And oh my god
And oh my god
Stood in your prom dress all covered in blood
What you sacrificed will never be enough
Behind bulletproof windows they’re still wiring the cash
Whatever they could scrape up, whatever that they had
There’s a lot of mouths to feed through this famine
Hung mirrors on the walls and the ceiling
There’s no disguising it
There’s no denying it
This little box fits everything there is
And oh my god
Baby oh my god
Came to the wedding you were looking rough
Watch the masochists all celebrating love
Come up!

Well, I think this song is about cheating someone repeatedly or also talks about a compulsive addiction that ends up being so destructive, so as the line says "...what you sacrificed will never be enough." And again the main character of the song is a woman, which at a moment fits perfectly with "Carrie" the main character from Stephen's King Novel. The full circle of this song is complete when the line states "watch the masochists all celebrating love", which offers a desolate picture of how selfish behaviors just end up ruing relationships when people emotionally damaged just can't hold a healthy love story.
