All or Nothing
[S05E02] - Attika 7 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stop, take a moment
To think about the things
You'd like to say
For in the end it's not as if I'd block your way
Hey
Make
Stop, take a moment
To think about the things you'd like to say
For in the end
It's only you who has to pay
You don't have to make decisions (It's all or nothing)
You don't have to make incisions(That's what I said)
You don't have to make it painful (It's all or nothing)
Just make sure I won't get in your way
Search through your reasons before you set off on your way
Stop, take a moment
To think about the thing you'd like to say
For in the end it's only you who has to pay
You don't have to make decisions (It's all or nothing)
You don't have to make incisions (That's what I said)
You don't have to make it painful (It's all or nothing)
You don't have to make it hateful (That's what I said)
Take your things and go your own way (It's all or nothing)
Leave me now, don't say you're sorry (That's what I said)
Slam the door don't look behind you (It's all or nothing)
Just make sure I won't get in your way
The lyrics of Attika 7's "All or Nothing" deal with coming to a decision about moving on from a relationship or situation. The vocalist encourages the listener to think through their reasons and make a choice, but not to wait until it's too late. The phrase "all or nothing" suggests that there are only two choices, either to fully commit or to completely walk away.
In the chorus, the repeated lines "You don't have to make decisions, you don't have to make incisions" may be interpreted as a warning against rash actions and choices made out of desperation. The vocalist emphasizes that the decision-making process should not involve causing pain or conflict, whether internally or with others.
The lines "Take your things and go your own way, leave me now, don't say you're sorry / Slam the door don't look behind you, just make sure I won't get in your way" end the song on a note of finality and determination. The choice has been made to move on, and there is no going back.

Biohazard is missed. I’m very sad this is good but man I remember buying Evan a beer after a show, man life was so good then, skateboarding and concerts in the smaller venues.
