All I Know
Washed Out Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hear your voice and I call
I feel the weight of it all
Can't brace myself for the fall
In the silence I hear your fading call
In your eyes I see and feel it all
In my mind I try to let go
It's so hard cause you're all I know
You act like there's nothing wrong
You laugh when I call on the phone
Say it's time that I try to move on
That the life that we had is now gone
In the silence I hear your fading call
In your eyes I see and feel it all
In my mind I try to let go
It's so hard cause you're all I know
The lyrics of Washed Out's "All I Know" depict the struggles of moving on from a past relationship. The singer is haunted by the memories of their partner; they can see their face on the wall, hear their voice and call, and feel the weight of it all. The singer can't prepare themselves for the inevitable fall of fully letting go. In the silence, they hear their partner's fading call, and in their partner's eyes, the singer sees and feels everything. Despite their efforts, the singer cannot seem to let go because their former partner is all they know.
The song's smooth and relaxed melody creates a sense of melancholy and longing, as if the singer is hesitant to let go of their past all at once. The lyrics offer a universal theme of love and loss, especially with its lines on trying hard to let go. "All I Know" touches on the vulnerability of trying to heal from a broken heart and the difficulty of breaking the strong attachment to a former partner.

I can see your face on the wall
Even in emptiness, you seem to fill the void of my mind.

In the silence I hear your fading call
In the stillness of my mind, I can still hear echoes of your presence.

I attempt to rid myself of the hold you have on me.
It's so hard cause you're all I know
Letting go of you is like losing a part of myself, leaving me feeling lost and alone.

Yes Pls
I remember listening to this song constantly when I was slowly creeping out of a really deep depression one winter. I had gone through a ton of heartbreak, but was starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel as the season began to change. Still feels me with so much hope and joy for the future. 💙

Been listening to this on repeat non-stop today, can’t get enough of it.

When this song hits you with that feeling of nostalgia, just remember where you were when this came out. The feeling of youth and happiness or longing for something missing in you. Now realize that life moves incredibly fast and realize that the "young folks" in this video are most likely in their 30's or very close to it. Life is absurd and nothing lasts forever. I love all of you, like me that cannot understand why you're here and or why you're watching this at 11:00 pm like I am, hoping something will make sense. The meaning of life is to experience it, nothing more.
*edit* I was 26 when this video came out, had just lost a brother and was questioning life. I still stick by my statement of the meaning of life is to experience it in all of its good and bad.

I like to listen to this song when I'm being neglected, rejected, abandoned or someone pushes me away despite all my efforts. This relates to any relationships. This song gives me power to go through this upsetting experience and makes me believe in a better future.
Giovani Castellani
Katya, thank you for your comment. Feeling just like this you have described now and feeling much better.

@Giovani Castellani Thank you Giovanni. I feel the same way as I've described in that message and your comment also made me feel better)
