Cover art for One by One lyrics by Cake Bake Betty

this song is about marriage and how imperfect it is everyone knows how hard it is to keep a marriage up but we sit around and expect everything to be perfect inside of the marriage but in the song she has had an affair and it's talking about how everyone is looking down on her and her lover for it and how she knows they will be "punished" for the things they have done ("We will drag you to the desert So you’re burnt and you’re broke")
