Cover art for One Flesh lyrics by Chameleons, The

The song is a commentary on the human condition and the challenges that people face when navigating through life. People often struggle to distinguish truth from lies, and this confusion is made worse when they are overcome by desire. The metaphor of the sun in your eyes represents the difficulty of seeing things clearly and being able to make the right decisions when someone is blinded by their own emotions. It also touches on themes of bondage, weakness, and the need for hope and decency.

"A voluntary bondage that always appeals, it's how you make the garden grow" People are often drawn to situations that are not good for them, but that they find pleasure in the struggle. The lyrics also highlight the sense of hopelessness that many people feel in the face of adversity, but they also emphasize the need for people to help one another and work together to make the world a better place.

"For every woman child and man, to those who'll chain you if they can, the babe you're bouncing on your knee needs your help now can't you see" emphasizes the need for people to be aware of the struggles of others and to work to make the world a better place for everyone.
