One Weak Lyrics

Nerve, Here I borned feeding on his lung
Verve, is his curse because he wanted to meet christ alone

Bitch - you're no good, we could be so flown
Misunderstood - we could be your god

There in my bones we could be so flown
Misunderstood - because he wanted to meet Christ alone

But you will...
No you will never find me - breach unborn
Never come here watch me burn
Never bitch cause your scars show
Never will I burn

Under and beneath the floor
Before his face 'cause your no good
We could have been like one

Fuck it

Bitch you feel sore, we could be so flown
Misunderstood, Because he wanted to meet Christ alone

But you will...
No you will never find me - breach unborn
Never sit and watch me burn
Never bitch cause your scars show
Never will I burn, will I burn, will I burn, will I burn

Beg don't even try and you will never (x3)
Beg don't even waste your time

Sounds to me like someone had a miscarriage because they were shooting up drugs.

"Feeling sore," "could be so flown," "unborn," "scars show"...you know.

Just my perspective.

I agree with dred, Adrenaline has always been my absolute favorite album from them. And every other album is surely amazing, but this one is where it is at, and not many agree.

One Weak being one of my favorites. Lifter, Root, Engine No. 9, and Minus Blindfold also come to mind. Lifter being my absolute favorite. Amazing album all the way, and no one can forget the classic Bored.

@MyDisposition lifter is your favourite? adrenaline is one of the greatest albums and every single song is almost flawless but lifter is in my opinion not as good as the resgt of these songs man. fireal clears brooo

I always saw this is how two lovers are broken up by their beliefs. That they are so "meant" to be yet he found God and she didn't. He's saying how he'll never burn underneath the floor (go to hell?) or burn at all.

He's sad to see that he's cursed because he really loves her but can't be with her because of their different beliefs. That's just my view on it.

Lately I've been around relationships that were so good and maybe meant to be but couldn't be because of some incredible difference or maybe what we see as a difference that has caused everything to unravel.

in my opinion, it's obviously aboutanti-abortion issues, possibly dealing with an incident that was close to home, or even pro-life in general. It's also entirely possible that spirituality plays a role in that,

but that's just my opinion.

no i think this is a song about the first time chino found out his wife was dieing. because he said he wanted to see christ alone and i think he wanted to die and her not to ever die.

Best song on the album. Adrenaline is my favorite album by them, unlike most, who would prefer white pony, cuz it was pretty awesome. Adrenaline to me is like...one track with different chapters, you know? Some lyrics on certain songs are repeated ie "youre no good". i

Great song. Not sure if these lyrics are right. Some in the liner notes but sung differently than even the liner notes.

These lyrics aren't quite accurate, but I know this song is about a relationship that didn't work due to differing beliefs. Nerve, here I burned, feeding on his lung, -I fucked up by being ballsy enough to discuss religion Verve is his curse, because he wanted to meet Christ alone. -I believe Chino is saying the man (him or someone else) didn't share the same organized beliefs as the woman, he had his own beliefs and his curse was being passionate about and expressing them

Yeah, you're no good, we could be so flown. Misunderstood, because he wanted to meet Christ alone -We could've been awesome together, but the misunderstanding between us made it impossible to see eye to eye

But you will, no you will never find me breach unborn -I wont change my beliefs for you, you wont see me compromise who I am to be with you Never, come and watch me burn, Never, bitch 'cause your scars show -We'll never work because you believe I am a sinner, we'll never work because I see through you, I know who you really are. Never will I burn under, beneath the floor before his face -I'm not the one who is in the wrong, I'm not the one who fucked everything up 'Cause you're no good, we could have been like one -Self-explanatory

FUCK IT (also self explanatory) Bet you feel sore, we could have been so flown, Misunderstood because he wanted to meet Christ alone -There's no going back, you screwed us up and all because of a stupid little difference in beliefs

Never will I burn, will I burn -I'm not going to take the fall for this, I'm not going to feel sorry for this.

Don't try, 'cause I will never beg, don't even waste your breath -I'm done, you fucked us up, I have no interest in reconciling this relationship.

Granted I could be reading way into this because I just went through literally this exact scenario, but listening to this song before (having little clue what it meant) and listening to it after the break up, It makes far more sense and I can understand and relate to the lyrics and the angst of the song far better than I ever could.

Hope some of this made sense.

@coehring yo I know this is a resurrection of this thread but I totally believe you are on point. I myself am going through this situation with the exception of the other party wanting and begging to come back and me denying BUT she fucked it up and if she does want to come back I'm going to quote, or at least remember, this song and your interpretation of it because it is on point. Good job!

best song ever

I think this song could be about how Chino will never show a certain person his true feelings eg an enemy "Never sit and watch me burn"
