The meaning of the lyrics of the song "I Am Only One" by the artist "We Are The Fallen"

The song "I Am Only One" by We Are The Fallen speaks of pain, loneliness, and shattered dreams. The lyrical hero is going through a profound loss, possibly a lost love or disillusionment with life.

The song begins by painting a picture of a depressing atmosphere: memories fade into silence, and the night haunts the hero. The last breath of hope symbolizes the acceptance of an inevitable end, but the morning light brings only temporary relief, unable to fully chase away the pain.

The fairy tale, representing expectations and dreams, has no happy ending. The hero clings to the ghosts of the past, to "the life that never was," to buried dreams. He feels lost and alone, trapped in a past that won't let go.

The hero's heart is empty, oozing with pain and disappointment. Lies and betrayal might have been the cause of his suffering. All that is left is time, which is expected to heal the wounds, even though it will destroy the illusory hopes.

The recurring motif of a fairy tale without a happy ending emphasizes the hopelessness of the situation. The hero waits for a love that will never come, and his heart is doomed to die alone.

Memories fade into the silence,

Haunting me tonight,

With hope's last breath

I take this moment in,

It will be the last,

Then morning breaks and sunlight takes

The pain away

Ever after never came,

And I'm still waiting for a life that never was,

And all the dreams I lay to rest,

Are ghosts that keep me,

After all that I've become,

I am only one,

I am only one

I close my eyes and bleed this empty heart

Of all that longs to die,

When faces lie and love will falter,

I'm left with only time,

And time will break the dreams that take

The pain away

Ever after never came,

And I'm still waiting for a love I'll never have,

And all the dreams I lay to rest,

Are ghosts that keep me,

After all that I've become,

I am only one,

I am only one

I'm on my own here and

No one's left to be the hero of

This fairy tale gone wrong,

As night will fall, my heart

Will die alone

Ever after never came,

And I'm still waiting for my heart to beat again,

And all the dreams I've laid to rest,

Are ghosts that keep me,

After all that I've become,

I am only one,

I am only one
