All For Nothing
Navigating Despair: Unraveling the Depths of 'All For Nothing' by Up From Here
Lyrics
Was is all for nothing?
Expressing doubt about the value or significance of past actions.
I let everybody down again
Acknowledging a sense of disappointment in oneself for letting others down.
Or am I falling a victim
Questioning whether the speaker is becoming a victim of something negative.
To the ice underneath my skin?
Suggesting a metaphorical barrier or obstacle represented by "ice" beneath the speaker's skin.
How long has it been this way?
Reflecting on the duration of a challenging situation or emotional state.
You plotted out all the moves you made
Implies someone strategically planned their actions to reach the speaker.
just to get to me
Suspecting that others went to great lengths to influence or affect the speaker.
I hoped we would never change,
Expressing a desire for things to remain unchanged.
But just a little time away
Acknowledging the impact of a short period of separation on relationships.
Can break us down so easily
Stating that a brief separation can easily cause a breakdown in relationships.
Was is all for nothing?
Reiterating the doubt about the value or significance of past actions.
I let everybody down again
Repeating the feeling of letting everyone down.
Or am I falling a victim
Reiterating the question about becoming a victim of something negative.
To the ice underneath my skin?
Reiterating the metaphorical barrier or obstacle beneath the skin.
Trying to feel alive, but its killing me
Expressing the struggle to feel alive despite the adverse effects.
I'm not the type of guy who wants it all for free
Asserting a willingness to work for things rather than expecting them for free.
I'm looking for an open door
Searching for an opportunity or pathway.
And no I won't stop until I hit the floor
Demonstrating determination to persist until facing a challenge or failure.
I won't settle for nothing
Declaring a refusal to accept anything less than desired.
I won't give up, I won't give in
Emphasizing a commitment to persistence and not giving up.
Was is all for nothing?
Reiterating the doubt about the value or significance of past actions.
I let everybody down again
Repeating the feeling of letting everyone down.
Or am I falling a victim
Reiterating the question about becoming a victim of something negative.
To the ice underneath my skin?
Reiterating the metaphorical barrier or obstacle beneath the skin.
