One Way Trigger Lyrics

(One, two, three)

Get dressed in your bed, while she's asleep
It isn't right but it isn't hard
Tell me, tell me, won't you understand?
Show me, show me, show me a better plan
It's summer lies, it's someone else's nothing
Here it comes now

You asked me to stay
You asked me to stay
You asked me to stay
But there's a million reasons to leave

Find a job, find a friend
Find a home, find a dog
Settle down, out of town
Find a dream, shut it down

Please, please don't point it that way
It's just a trigger that goes once and you'll be unafraid
I wish that I'd been noticed, but it never goes that way
The silence that you brought has gone, gone, gone

Tell me, tell me, won't you understand?
Show me, show me, show me

You asked me to stay
You asked me to stay
You asked me to stay
But there's a million reasons to leave

Show me what to say, show me what to be
Show me what to see, show me what to be

Find a job, find a friend
Find a home, find a dog
Settle down, out of town
Find a dream, shut it down

I don't wanna be in there with you
I don't wanna be in there without your loving either
I waited for your thoughts
Can't wait no longer

What is the Meaning of One Way Trigger?

Imagine waking up in a whirlwind of chaos, blending existential dread with indie rock swagger—welcome to The Strokes' latest muse! 🚀 This song is a melancholic guidebook for the chronically indecisive. It's about the struggle between staying in the comfort zone and the myriad reasons to take a leap of faith into the unknown. With lyrics like "Find a job, find a friend, find a home, find a dog," it sarcastically ticks off society's checkbox of adulting. But don’t let its upbeat tempo fool you—there’s a deeply introspective current flowing through. The "trigger" they mention is symbolic of that pivotal moment we all face: the big life decisions we dread but can't escape. So, put on your thinking cap, but make sure it’s a cool vintage one. 🌟
