All the Way Down
Embracing Depths: Aurelio Voltaire's All the Way Down Meaning
Lyrics
The sun goes down while children listen
The sunset occurs as children are attentive.
All the way down
Descending completely or to the fullest extent.
Black as a crow is the space in which you
The vast emptiness resembles that of a crow's color.
Leave me standing
Leaving me isolated or abandoned.
All the way down.
Continuing the descent entirely.
If you'd seen the light of day
If you had experienced a better life.
I'd hold you here tonight
I would embrace you tonight.
And if you'd seen the light, we'd go
If you had known the positive aspects, we would descend.
All the way down
Completing the descent together.
Up there in space, you're looking down on us.
In the cosmic expanse, observing us from above.
Looking all the way down
Observing from a great height, all the way down.
And if you fell to earth, they have a name
If you fell to Earth, there's a term for it.
They call it, they say,
The term they use is "All the way down."
"All the way down."
Emphasizing the complete descent.
If you burned your wings and fell into my arms
If you faced difficulties and sought comfort in my embrace.
You know I wouldn't mind being
Expressing willingness to be with you throughout the descent.
All the way down
Emphasizing the commitment to go all the way down.
I can't believe in Hell
Expressing doubt or disbelief in the concept of Hell.
But I've got to believe in Heaven
Believing in the existence of Heaven.
I wouldn't sleep at night not knowing
Unable to rest without knowing you're in a better place.
That you were somewhere better
Desire for your well-being in a superior place.
If you burned your wings and fell into my arms
Reiteration of the scenario with burning wings and falling.
You know I wouldn't mind being
Expressing the acceptance of being together in the descent.
All the way down
Reaffirmation of the commitment to go all the way down.
All the way down
Continuing to emphasize the complete descent.
All the way down
Repetition, reinforcing the idea of descending entirely.
