“One Match” is the third song released from Until the Ribbon Breaks‘ self-titled sophomore album.
Lead singer Pete Lawrie-Winfield explained that the track was one of the hardest he’s ever written, and that it is about self-loathing.
One match is the hardest song I ever had to write. “Orca” was to...
[Intro: Spoken Word]
Be ab—be able to s—one last
I think that a grieving process
It's important to have a bo—
To able to see the person one last time
[Verse 1]
Both knees, I saw you grazing at the floor
Nosebleeds, there's always more to your one more
Sheer delight as you unwind, as you unwind
I think I saw some self belief through gritted teeth tonight
[Verse 2]
Fall over, we don't need another drink
Fall over, this goes more quickly than you think
A sugar cube in water; is that all you think this is?
Your life in your fingertips
[Refrain]
And what was that you said?
[Chorus]
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
Just one match to burn this whole thing down
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
Just one match to burn this whole thing down
[Verse 3]
Stop signs, they're blood red, you're colourblind
Your lifeline weaves and snakes around your every whim
Not rehabilitation, call it learnin' how to swim
We're just learnin' how to swim
[Refrain]
And what was that you said?
[Chorus]
So lonely, uh, so lonely, so lonely
Just one match to burn this whole thing down
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
Just one match to burn down
[Bridge]
Everything you promised
Is swept up by the wind
And I could try to love you
But where do I begin?
[Refrain]
And what was that you said?
[Outro]
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, we are so lonely
Just one match to burn, burn down
And everything you promised
Is swept up by the wind
And I could try to love you
But where do I begin?

“A song to self, a reality check, a cry for help and a personal account of the very worst moments in a long period of addiction and substance abuse. I always knew that one day I would have to get clean, I just had no idea how. This is a diary entry from the middle of that mess.”
