The meaning of the lyrics of the song "The Only One" by the artist "Transit"

The song "The Only One" by Transit portrays the emotional rollercoaster of a lyrical hero grappling with the pain of betrayal and bitter irony. He discovers that his lover has been unfaithful, that he is not the only one in her life.

The lyrics capture the hero's emotional swings: from despair ("This is a real nightmare", "You put me through hell") to attempts to save face ("This is so funny", "Sorry I couldn't keep it").

The recurring phrase "I know I'm not the only one you have" becomes a refrain, emphasizing the bitterness of realizing the truth. The hero tries to rationalize the situation, sarcastically calling the betrayal "a little secret."

The climax is a play on words at the end. The phrase "L, O, J, then a soft sign" (which spells out "lie" in Russian) hints at the deception that permeated their relationship. The realization of his own naivety ("I fell for it") is replaced by bitter consolation ("Fortunately, I'm not the only one").

The song leaves behind a feeling of bitterness and disappointment, but at the same time, a sense of liberation that comes with realizing the truth, however painful it may be.

Here's where the horror hits home

I figured it all out on my own

Heaven is what you make it

Hell is what you're putting me through

Out there waiting unknown, I get the feeling you're not alone

How could you? Why would you? Who told you?

And now I know the story before you tell me

Tell me what were you thinking

I know I'm not the only one

So funny so

You call it your little secret

I'm sorry I couldn't keep it

I know I'm not the only one

Midnight, a cigarette burns

Sliding off the bed and out the door

Heaven is what you make it

Hell is what you're putting me through

Goodbye, you wasted my time

You were the best part of my life

How could you? Why would you? Who told you?

And now I know the story before you tell me

Tell me what were you thinking

I know I'm not the only one

So funny so

You call it your little secret

I'm sorry I couldn't keep it

I know I'm not the only one

One and only

I know I'm not the only one

L I before the E

Fell for it

I can't believe I fell for it

Lucky for me I'm not the only one

Who knows the story before you tell me?

Tell me what were you thinking

I know I'm not the only one

And now I know the story before you tell me

Tell me what were you thinking

I know I'm not the only one

So funny so

You call it your little secret

I'm sorry I couldn't keep it

I know I'm not the only one

One and only

I know I'm not the only one
