All Time Low
Jon Bellion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was the knight in shining armor in your movie
Would put your lips on mine and love the aftertaste
Now I'm a ghost, I call your name, you look right through me
You're the reason I'm alone and masturbate

I (I, I), I've been trying to fix my pride
But that shit's broken, that shit's broken
Lie (lie, lie), lie, l-lie, I try to hide
But now you know it

That I'm at an all time
Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low

I was the prototype like 3 Stacks on that CD
An example of the perfect candidate
Now all your girlfriends say that you don't want to see me
You're the reason that I just can't concentrate

I (I, I), I've been trying to fix my pride
But that shit's broken, that shit's broken
Lie (lie, lie), lie, l-lie, I try to hide
But now you know it

That I'm at an all time
Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low

I (I, I), I've been trying to fix my pride
But that shit's broken, that shit's broken
Lie (lie, lie), lie, l-lie, I try to hide
But now you know it
That I'm at an all time
Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low
Low, low
Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low
(Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low) lie, l-lie, I try to hide
(Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low) but now you know it
(Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low)
I'm at an all time
Hey

Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jon Bellion's song "All Time Low" depict a romantic relationship that has ended and the singer's reluctance to move on. In the opening lines, he describes himself as the knight in shining armor in his partner's movie, which implies that he played the role of a hero in her life. Furthermore, he reminisces about their intimate moments and how he still craves the aftertaste of her lips. However, things have changed, and he feels invisible to her, even though he calls her name. She has become the reason he is alone and engages in self-gratification, indicating that the breakup has left him feeling isolated and dejected.


The chorus of the song is where the singer reveals that he is at an all-time low. He has been trying to fix his pride, but that hasn't helped. It's broken. This sadness has become his new identity. He goes on to hide his pain, but now it's out in the open. The repetition of the line 'low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low' understates the singer's pain, implying that he is facing a difficult time.


The last verse establishes the singer's past persona, which was the prototype, the perfect man. But now, he is no longer seen as such and has become incapable of concentrating on anything, including the things he used to be so passionate about. The chorus repeats several times, making it clear that the singer is still struggling with his feelings.


Line by Line Meaning

I was the knight in shining armor in your movie
I used to be the hero in your story, the one who was always there for you and could solve any problem.


Would put your lips on mine and love the aftertaste
We were together romantically and I enjoyed every moment spent with you, even the memories of our intimate moments.


Now I'm a ghost, I call your name, you look right through me
Now I feel invisible to you and get no response when I try to communicate or reconnect with you.


You're the reason I'm alone and masturbate
You're the reason why I'm single and I take care of my own sexual needs.


I (I, I), I've been trying to fix my pride
I've been working on overcoming my hurt pride and ego.


But that shit's broken, that shit's broken
However, it's proving to be a challenging task since my pride is completely shattered and beyond repair.


Lie (lie, lie), lie, l-lie, I try to hide
I repeatedly lie to myself and others, trying to conceal my true feelings and emotions.


But now you know it
But now everyone, including you, knows the truth about my emotional state.


That I'm at an all time
That my current emotional state is at an all-time low.


Low, low, lo lo low, low, low, low, low
I feel extremely down, sad, and worthless.


I was the prototype like 3 Stacks on that CD
I was once the perfect example of what you wanted in a partner, like the artist Andre 3000 on a record.


An example of the perfect candidate
I used to be the ideal person for you, someone who ticked all your boxes.


Now all your girlfriends say that you don't want to see me
Now, everyone around you tells me that you refuse to meet or engage with me.


You're the reason that I just can't concentrate
Your presence in my mind prevents me from focusing on anything else.


Hey
A final word, an expression of acknowledgement of the current state of affairs.

- Finished 4 years at University doing a degree I realised in the final year I had no interest in.
- 4 part time jobs in hospitality I had no interest in
- No path in life
- Realised I wanted to become a pilot, from the START was my ambition but thought it wasn't feasible financially/personally
- Accepted into one of the top Airline pilot Flight schools after months of research/revision and assessment
- Drug habit picked up at Uni meant my Class 1 medical (required to start flight school) was denied and postponed for 2 years resulting in not being able to take my place earned through hard work and determination.

When I got that letter denying me, from the one career I had finally realised I wished to purse and KNEW would be the career that would make me happy, my world collapsed and this song. These lyrics "ALL TIME LOW" defined my world at that time. It honestly felt like it was all over, everything I had worked for, destroyed through a stupid, selfish choice. I was ready to give up.

2 years later I'm at the flight school I dreamt of, clean, Iv achieved over 98% average grades in my pilot ground school theory, and 3 months away from finishing with a full ATPL (airline transport pilots license) license.

I listen to this song once in a while to remind me of that day everything came crashing down and to realise how far iv come. If you ever get into a situation where you believe youv hit the lowest of the low, you cant go any lower so keep pushing, keep going and things can only get better.
