1 + 1 Lyrics – ASH ISLAND

1 + 1 Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
The singer is saying that love should be simple, like math—one plus one equals two. But even though the relationship is over, they’re still confused about their feelings. They miss their ex deeply and can’t figure out how to move on. No matter how much time passes, the only “right answer” for them is still their ex.

[Verse 1]
To forget their ex, the singer tries deleting everything—photos, memories, even their phone number. But even after doing all that, their hands still remember dialing the number, and the memories keep coming back. They feel dizzy, exhausted, and trapped in sadness. Even music feels empty without their ex, and they can’t write songs anymore. Instead, they just write meaningless lyrics. They wonder if forgetting their ex’s name will make the memories fade too. In the end, they still hope that if their ex feels the same, they’ll come back one day.

[Chorus]
The same feelings return—love is supposed to be simple, but they still miss their ex and don’t know how to move on. No one else can replace them, and even after time passes, the only answer that feels right is their ex.

[Verse 2]
Even when the singer closes their eyes, they can’t stop thinking about their ex. No matter how hard they try to forget, the memories only grow stronger. Sleepless nights make it even worse. They remember seeing their ex in the same familiar places, recalling the times they were young and in love, believing their love would last forever. But now, their ex is gone, and no matter how much they call out, there’s no response. They realize it’s too late to fix things, but they still can’t figure out how to move on without them.

[Bridge]
The singer drowns in memories and misses their ex every single day. Even though months have passed and seasons have changed, they still feel stuck in the past. They recall a day when they walked a little longer than usual, lost in thought, unable to let go. Even though they know it’s over, they couldn’t bring themselves to hold on or say goodbye properly. They wish they could erase everything, but their heart won’t let them because they still miss their ex. Without them, nothing feels complete.

[Chorus]
Once again, the singer expresses that even though love should be simple, their feelings are still complicated. They miss their ex like a fool, unable to move on. No matter how much time passes, their ex is still the only answer that feels right.

[Outro]
The singer acknowledges that logically, one plus one equals two, but emotionally, nothing makes sense anymore. Everything feels like a lie, and sometimes, they even imagine their ex is still with them. No matter how much time passes, the answer to everything remains the same—their ex.
