Meaning of "OneOneThousand" by Burden Of A Day

The lyrics delve into the theme of inner turmoil and the search for truth and purpose. The narrator's journey involves confronting disillusionment and the harsh realities of life, symbolized by the contrast between "sour milk and honey." The imagery of climbing the tallest tree to gain perspective and yet remaining "sightless in a world made for your eyes" speaks to the disconnect between external perceptions and internal truths. The reference to standing with "blistered feet and bleeding knees" highlights the physical and emotional toll of facing challenges head-on. The repeated refrain of "I'd rather dive than know what I would be without" suggests a fear of self-discovery and vulnerability. Ultimately, finding solace in unity and faith, as expressed in the line "Glory! Like the bee without her queen, what am I without my King?" underscores the narrator's search for meaning and belonging in something greater than themselves.
