Tabbed by: SICfreak91
A great song to end an album and one of my favorites overall. Yes, some of this is off
(ver. 1) tab (espically the solo), however, I included it how it is in his tab onto my
because ... well its completely correct, so i give credit to him for his work.
TUNING: Drop D
Note: I timed guitar 1 and 2 as close as I could

No Picture Tyler Average	#1 by Tyler at Oct 1, 2007 at 10:38 AM EST
	I don't know why it's called "One-X."

No Picture micheal Lead Player	#2 by micheal mceachern at Oct 1, 2007 at 6:04 PM EST
	I personally love this song more because of the determination which propels it. I love the constant theme that no matter what obtacles are slammed into your life, there is always a way out, and when you take that 'out' and suceed with it, that it can seperate you from 'the average person' or the crowd.

No Picture Dark Lead Player	#3 by Dark Avenger at Oct 2, 2007 at 7:23 AM EST
	Also, I like the part when they repeat "we are". It sounds so cool. This is random, but has anyone read the red writing on the cd booklet? It's so chilling. It's taking words from each song and making it into this big poem form. It's pretty sweet. Perhaps the "stand above the crowd" part is about maybe... if you are literally above the crowd, people can see you more, and you can be more likely to be a target.

No Picture Dr. Jack Average	#4 by Dr. Jack at Oct 2, 2007 at 7:37 PM EST
	I think it's about looking back on everything that happened in your life and realising you never meant to end up where you are, but at the same time realising that you rose and are better for it. fish n' chips Tineke

No Picture Toni Average	#6 by Toni at Oct 3, 2007 at 3:40 PM EST
	I love this song! I've had so many times where I felt completely alone and felt like I didn't exist... So I could really relate! It has a very anthemic feel, and it’s a great closer! What phoenix said is very close to what Adam said. Well put.

No Picture «™†Rob†™» Average	#7 by «™†Rob†™» at Oct 3, 2007 at 10:19 PM EST
	great great song...this cd is pretty sweet this song explains itself

No Picture Sal Average	#8 by Sal With The Lights Out at Oct 4, 2007 at 12:58 PM EST
	I just discovered this song; it's not that popular, but I wouldn't want it any other way. Considering what it's about, if you see what I mean. Yeah, if you've ever felt completely and utterly alone, you know what this song is about. I'm going through a difficult time right now, where I don't have any close friends at my school. It's one of the most painful things, to be suffering in isolation while you're surrounded by happy people in their cliques. So just knowing that you're not the only person that feels that way is all it takes to make your day a little easier. Plus, as the saying goes, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I think this song is trying to make a point, that because of your suffering, you become a better, tougher person.

No Picture Jordan Average	#9 by Jordan S. at Oct 5, 2007 at 5:50 AM EST
	Adam said this song took the most time to write. it's for the fans.

No Picture ToRRi Average	#10 by ToRRi L at Oct 8, 2007 at 7:55 PM EST
	This song fits me perfectly, and im guessing very few of you know what its like to truely be alone. Yeah, i got friends, but they dont treat me equal, i go near em and they move away, yet they say their friends of mine. I classify them as enemies from now on. I have no one to look to, and no one to talk to. Besides, helps a sign of weakness. Anyway, on to my awesome translation, yeah, I got the X, the bullseye, the mistreatment. I think it shows the ones that are treated shitty early in life rise up later during the working years and rise up 'above the crowd' and become the greaters, looking down on old rivals.

No Picture ToRRi Average	#11 by ToRRi L at Oct 10, 2007 at 3:24 PM EST
	I think I slipped once while singing along and said 'we are the ones we get knocked up'. Okay, so anyways, yeah, it's about being all by yourself, and then realizing that you aren't alone.

No Picture Dan Average	#12 by Dan Johnson at Oct 11, 2007 at 1:16 PM EST
	I think this is a song about those who are depressed, but they try to fight it. Hence "we get knocked down, we get back up and stand above the crowd" It's also letting them know they aren't alone.

No Picture Tom Average	#13 by Tom Gregory at Oct 12, 2007 at 9:12 AM EST
	Somehow with the title of the song, and even the whole album. I think it's a blanket statement for the Generation X crew. People in their later 20s and 30s. The whole album itself is very interesting... a great closing track to the album.

No Picture michiel Wanna Be	#14 by michiel adams at Oct 13, 2007 at 2:27 PM EST
	I agree with Aussiestevo, it's mostly about being depressed and being singled out, feeling that you aren't noticed. Awesome song, one that I can really relate to. One X is seriously one of the best CDs I've bought, I wasted my money but it was so worth it! 3DG forever!

No Picture kostas Rhythm Player	#15 by kostas kouveliotis at Oct 16, 2007 at 3:25 AM EST
	It's actually about being around heaps of people but you still feel like your the odd one out like you have an x on you. It's for all the people that feel alone even when they have friends, family, people to talk to yet this depression clouds their vision so they can't see help that is being offered, i feel it's a very deep song and can relate to it in many ways. Being a teen i do have mood swings, and have been diagnosed with chronic depression so it's easy to understand the "we get knocked down, we get back up, and we stand above the crowd." for me its the depression kicks in, i take my meds and get back into a better mood and sometimes i can feel like im on top of the world.

No Picture Razor Wanna Be	#16 by Razor Edge at Oct 16, 2007 at 4:07 AM EST
	...i agree with all of you..it is about being singled out..and finding that one person or your friends who always fall with you and they convice you to get back up and fight for what you believe in or w/e....

No Picture JUSTIN Lead Player	#17 by JUSTIN LOCKHART at Oct 16, 2007 at 4:49 PM EST
	Fallen Leaves, that was possibly the stupidest comment ive ever read. Wow, such a waste of time and life.

No Picture David Average	#18 by David Turner at Oct 17, 2007 at 12:24 AM EST
	The entire One X album is about feeling isolated, and distanced. But the album has an overall theme that there is hope, that we are all note alone. I believe this song is summing up the meaning of the album.

No Picture Justin Wanna Be	#19 by Justin Neafsey at Oct 18, 2007 at 1:24 AM EST
	Daxunyrr I understand i have the same problem with my friends

No Picture HIYA Wanna Be	#20 by HIYA at Oct 18, 2007 at 6:58 AM EST
	Does anybody think of Adam singing this song on a cliff in a black leather jacket with his arms open and sunshine behind him slowly walking and spinning when they hear the 'we are' part? No... okay. Just me I guess. Well, it's just got that heavenly sound to it, so... Turn this song on and imagine what I said, see if it works!

No Picture Berenice Average	#21 by Berenice Issaris at Oct 18, 2007 at 1:38 PM EST
	This song is about being singled out from the rest of the crowd. Being the one that has the bull's eye on their back.

No Picture Manu Professional Badass	#22 by Manu at Oct 19, 2007 at 9:47 PM EST
	"Fallen Leaves, that was possibly the stupidest comment ive ever read. Wow, such a waste of time and life." Why thank you. Appreciate the supportive comments. It's just what I picture sometimes when I listen to this song. I thought I could say what I felt, but I guess I was wrong...

No Picture Alexander Wanna Be	#23 by Alexander Taule at Oct 20, 2007 at 10:58 PM EST
	again, as I said, this song is about being singled out from the rest of the crowd. Being the one that has the bull's eye on their back.
