“One Way” captures the struggle between ambition and limitation. Tyler frames his desire to “fly” against warnings of a “system coming in,” a metaphor for outside pressures or inner doubts shutting down freedom. The verses reflect on lost dreams and fading inspiration, while the bridge highlights fe...
[Chorus: Tyler Joseph]
I wanted to fly
But they say a system's coming in
The chances are high
That this is a
One way, one way, one way, one way
[Verse 1: Tyler Joseph]
Am I dreaming?
If it’s so
Can I take back who I was before?
If it's no
Then all my dreams have
Not been interesting in a while
This has not been interesting in a while, while, while
[Chorus: Tyler Joseph]
I wanted to fly
But they say a system's coming in
The chances are high
That this is a
One way, one way, one way, one way, one way (Ooh)
[Verse 2: Tyler Joseph]
Me and my scene just ain’t gelling
Someone next to me keeps yelling
Why am I still walking?
Something must be wrong here
I just don't belong here
[Chorus: Tyler Joseph]
I wanted to fly
But they say a system's coming in
Chances are high
That this is a
One way, one way, one way, one way, one
I wanted to fly
But they say a system's coming in
The chances are high
That this is a
One way, one way, one
That this is a
One way, one way, one
That this is a
One way, one way
(This is a)
[Outro: Josh Dun]
Hey it's Josh, call me back
Uh, I'm not opposed to "One Way" going into "Days Lie Dormant"
But it does feel like quite a vibe change
And, uhh
