All For Nothing
Bittersweet Struggles: Darla Jade's All For Nothing
Lyrics
It's a monday
Reference to the start of the workweek.
You're working lates until the sunday
Describes working late until the end of the week.
I'm on the train back to my place oh
Speaker is returning home on a train.
But we're delayed another earthquake
Unexpected delay, possibly metaphorical (earthquake).
Cause I've been bending over backwards just to make ends meet
Struggling to make a living, facing challenges.
It's the same old cycle still stuck on repeat
Expresses a feeling of being stuck in a repetitive cycle.
No I don't wanna talk cause it'll come out mean
Unwillingness to communicate to avoid conflict.
So I bite my tongue just to keep the peace
Choosing silence to maintain harmony.
I don't want this to be all for nothing no
Desire for efforts not to be in vain.
All for nothing all all for nothing
Repetition emphasizes the fear of it being 'all for nothing.'
I don't want this to be all for nothing no
Reiteration of not wanting it to be meaningless.
All for nothing all all for nothing
Emphasis on the fear of a futile outcome.
It's in the AM
Time reference, early morning.
Outside your house I'm on the pavement
Location outside someone's house.
Please hurry up cause it's raining aah
Urgency due to rain, questioning patience.
Tell me am I testing your patience?
Wondering if actions are testing someone's patience.
Cause I've been bending over backwards just to make ends meet
Continued struggle to make ends meet.
It's the same old cycle still stuck on repeat
Repetition of being stuck in a monotonous cycle.
No I don't wanna talk cause it'll come out mean
Avoiding communication to prevent conflict.
So I bite my tongue just to keep the peace
Opting for silence to maintain peace.
I don't want this to be all for nothing no
Reiteration of not wanting efforts to be in vain.
All for nothing all all for nothing
Emphasizes the fear of it being 'all for nothing.'
I don't want this to be all for nothing no
Reiteration of not wanting it to be meaningless.
All for nothing all all for nothing
Emphasis on the fear of a futile outcome.
Oooh
Expressive sound, emotional tone.
I keep on running right back to you
Continuing to return to a person despite challenges.
Oooh
Expressing a strong commitment to the person.
There's nothing that I won't do to keep you
Commitment to doing anything to keep the person.
Cause I've been bending over backwards just to make ends meet
Persisting in efforts to make the relationship work.
It's the same old cycle still stuck on repeat
Repeating the struggle of a monotonous cycle.
No I don't wanna talk cause it'll come out mean
Avoiding communication to prevent conflict.
So I bite my tongue just to keep the peace
Opting for silence to maintain peace.
I don't want this to be all for nothing no
Reiteration of not wanting efforts to be in vain.
All for nothing all all for nothing
Emphasizes the fear of it being 'all for nothing.'
I don't want this to be all for nothing no
Reiteration of not wanting it to be meaningless.
All for nothing all all for nothing
Emphasis on the fear of a futile outcome.
I don't want this to be all for nothing no
Reiteration of not wanting efforts to be in vain.
All for nothing all all for nothing
Emphasizes the fear of it being 'all for nothing.'
I don't want this to be all for nothing no
Reiteration of not wanting it to be meaningless.
All for nothing all all for nothing
Final emphasis on the fear of a futile outcome.
