The Struggles of a One-Sided Love
Hyolyn's song "One Way Love" delves into the emotional turmoil of being in a one-sided relationship. The lyrics express the frustration and pain of loving someone who is selfish and inconsiderate. The protagonist feels that their partner dictates everything in the relationship, from what they do to how they handle conflicts. This imbalance leaves the protagonist feeling unimportant and neglected, highlighting the selfish nature of their partner's love.
The chorus, with its repeated lines of "One way, one way, my love is one-way," emphasizes the unidirectional nature of the affection.
