All The Same
Echoes of Lost Love: Joshua Idehen's All The Same Reveals the Dance of Heartbreak
Lyrics
French kiss with the braces
Engaging in a passionate kiss with someone wearing braces.
played your song and you feel your heart racing
Playing a song that causes the listener's heart to race.
and she downed that glass of GNT just to spit it
The person drinks a Gin and Tonic and spits it back at the speaker.
right back in your face
Rejection or negative reaction to the speaker's advances.
saw everything just as you wished it
Observer sees things unfolding as the speaker desires.
then you blinked
Things changed suddenly, possibly indicating a shift in the situation.
it was gone in an instant
What the observer saw or desired is gone in an instant.
and the disco ball is turning
A disco ball is mentioned, setting a party or celebratory scene.
all the same
Repetition of "all the same" suggests a sense of monotony or routine.
all the same
-And we've all been here before
Reflection on a past experience where a relationship fell apart at a favorite song, expressing regret.
we fell apart at our favourite song
-and it's such a shame
-and the discoball is turning all the same
-In our corner of the world, you're the sun
The person is described as the sun, bringing warmth but also potential harm. Reference to nicotine and love song lyrics.
you melt the dry ice in our lungs
-nicotine on your tongue's what I'm fond of
-bet it'd make a great verse on a love song
-and she said don't get it twisted
A warning about the safety of the heart in contrast to the liver, suggesting a carefree attitude towards potential consequences.
your heart aint really that safe here
-but your liver's gonna do just fine
-And we've all been here before
Reiteration of the theme of falling apart at a favorite song and the world continuing to turn.
we fell apart at our favourite song
-and it's such a shame
-And the world will keep on turning
-all the same, all the same
-On the ceiling, circles dance
Imagery of dancing circles on the ceiling, describing a moment of wonder and the sensory experience of bright lights and bassy thunder.
above drunken circumstance
-it's momentary wonder
-bright lights and bassy thunder
-she said she almost fell in love
Almost falling in love, a fleeting connection that the speaker almost caught.
and I swear I almost caught her
-I swear I almost caught her
-And we've all been here before
Repetition of the theme of falling apart at a favorite song and the world continuing to turn, reinforcing the cyclical nature of experiences.
we fell apart at our favourite song
-and it's such a shame
-And the world will keep on turning
-all the same, all the same
