All Along
Unveiling the Depths of Inner Struggles in 'All Along' by The Franklin Electric
Lyrics
Give me something just to realize
Desire for a realization or understanding through something
When the darkness hides truth
Truth obscured in times of darkness
Give me shelter and protection from the things that I can't get through
Seeking refuge and defense from insurmountable challenges
Give me a space for me to occupy when I'm just passing through
Request for a temporary place in unfamiliar circumstances
Could be the mason or the mastermind
Comparison between roles: builder or mastermind
The builder of a brand new
The creator of something entirely new
Some will treat you like a stranger
Varying treatment from people—strangers or familial
Some will treat you like a brother's lost
Divergent perceptions: some view as lost family, others as a threat
And others see it as a threat
Differing perspectives: challenge or threat when confronting
And others see it as a challenge when you stand off
Recognizing insight within oneself
And the animal can see inside
Overcoming arrogance or excessive self-esteem
As he conquers pride
Concealed moments or traits forgotten over time
And all the instants that you camouflage
Being in close proximity to someone
That you forgot about deep inside
Understanding or revelation of an idea or concept
And you standing close
Physical closeness to another individual
Next to you
(No specific interpretation given)
Manifest about a word and a bright idea
Manifestation or expression of an idea or concept
Right in front of your palm
Realization of prior knowledge or intuition
I guess you knew it all along
(No specific interpretation given)
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
-Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
-You can sweep away the dust all the dirt and the cobwebs too
Effort to cleanse physical surroundings
You try removing all these things from your living room floor
Struggling to remove obstacles from one's life
You try to clear yourself a path for your conscience to walk right through
Attempting to create a clear path for moral decisions
The clearness never leaves your mind 'til your body lays black and blue
Struggle persists until physical harm or exhaustion
And you standing close
Physical proximity to another individual
Next to you
(No specific interpretation given)
Hands on fire
Intense emotions or passion
The depths of you
Exploration of one's inner self
The depths of you
(Repeated emphasis on exploring inner self)
The depths of you
-The depths of you, oh-oh
-And you standing close
Physical proximity to another individual
Next to you
(No specific interpretation given)
Hands on fire
Intense emotions or passion
The depths of you
Exploration of one's inner self
As if you knew it all along
Realization or acknowledgment of prior knowledge
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
(No specific interpretation given)
I guess you knew it all along
Recognition of prior intuition or understanding
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
(No specific interpretation given)
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
-I guess you knew it all along
Recognition of prior intuition or understanding
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
(No specific interpretation given)
