WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
"Are You The One" appears to be a song about a cry for help. The vocalist appears to be seeking someone who can guide him in the right direction. Is it that he's suicidal? Maybe. Whatever it is, he seems to need some guidance and direction in his life.

MY THOUGHTS ON BASEMENT:
Basement formed out of the ashes of the band In This For Fun. Their first release would be an EP in 2010 called "Songs About The Weather". After this release, the band signed with Run For Cover Records. Their debut full length album came out in 2011, titled "I Wish I Could Stay Here". Their next release, 2012's "Colourmeinkindness" would prove to be their most successful album, peaking at #188 on the Billboard 200 charts. The band went on a semi-hiatus for 2 years at this point for personal reasons but came back in 2014 with the release of the "Further Sky" EP. The band rounded out their contract with Run For Cover with the 2016 release "Promise Everything". The band's most recent release was the album "Beside Myself" which was put out by Fueled By Ramen Records. The band has played live shows as recently as 2021. Basement's playing style has been referred to as melodic hardcore punk, sometimes considered "noise rock" as well. They're somewhere in that mix. I'd even say alternative rock with elements of punk. Whatever you want to call them, they are a really good band. I'm almost positive I found out about these guys through the dyingscene.com website probably in 2011 or 2012. My favorite album by the band is 2016's "Promise Everything". "Aquasun" is a great song that finds it's way on the majority of my playlists!
