All Things All at Once
Embracing the Majesty of Life: All Things All at Once
Lyrics
In those days, we were lions
In the past, we were courageous and bold like lions.
In those days, we were kings
Similarly, in the past, we held a regal and powerful status like kings.
It's not one thing or the other
The situation is not defined by one specific thing or another.
It's all things all at once
The complexity lies in the simultaneous occurrence of various aspects; it's a combination of all things at once.
Ooh, I will love you better than him [x5]
The speaker expresses a commitment to love someone more effectively than another person (him) and repeats this assurance multiple times.
OOooh [x6]
A vocal expression, possibly representing a melodic or emotional interlude.
And these wings aren't for flying
The wings mentioned are symbolic and not meant for actual flying; they serve a decorative or metaphorical purpose.
These wings are just for show
Reiteration that the wings lack the functionality of flight, reinforcing their symbolic nature.
It's years since I've been flying
Indicates a significant passage of time since the speaker has experienced the metaphorical "flight."
I'm down to the earth
The speaker has returned to reality or grounded existence, coming down to earth.
Ooh, I will love you better than him [x5]
Reaffirmation of the commitment to love the addressed person more than a rival, emphasized through repetition.
OOooh [x6]

In those days we were lions
Reiteration of the past glory, emphasizing the speaker's previous state of being lion-hearted and kingly.
In those days we were kings
Continuation of the emphasis on past grandeur, highlighting the royal status that was once held.
