All For One
[unknown] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I've been thinking
It's taken its time
But I've lost that sinking feeling
That I used to carry around

Cause I've been worried
I'd never calm down
I'm not in a hurry, honey,
I just like to see you around

And all I know is I think about you
All the time and I wanna tell you
All along you're the one that I've been waiting for
Won't you come and knock on my door

The past is hazy
I'm back and I'm proud
Might have gone crazy, baby
til you came and knocked me around

So, I'm still thinking
bout something to say
When you get that sinking feeling
And I try to drive it away

And all I know is I think about you
All the time and I wanna tell you
All along you're the one that I've been waiting for
Won't you come and knock on my door




We can sleep on the floor
Show me what it's all for

Overall Meaning

The song "All For One" begins with a sense of introspection, as the singer reflects on their emotional journey. The opening lines suggest a period of contemplation and personal growth, where the initial struggles with anxiety and sadness have begun to fade. The "sinking feeling" that once haunted the singer signifies a deep-rooted worry or despair that they’ve finally managed to overcome. This transition from turmoil to peace highlights a newfound clarity and calmness, allowing the singer to appreciate the present and the people around them, particularly the significant other who brings them comfort.


As the lyrics progress, the singer expresses a deep longing and commitment to this significant person. There's an emphasis on patience and the absence of urgency in their desire to be with them. The phrase "I'll just like to see you around" indicates a preference for quality time over grand gestures, showing that the singer values the simple pleasure of each other's company. This part of the song conveys a sense of familiarity and emotional safety, suggesting that the relationship holds great importance and has alleviated the singer's previous anxieties. There’s a recurring theme of waiting and anticipation, illustrating how this connection feels meant to be, contrasting with past struggles.


The reflections on the past add depth to the narrative, with the imagery of a "hazy" history suggesting uncertainty and perhaps regret. The line "might have gone crazy" hints at turbulent emotions that accompanied the singer before this significant person entered their life. The use of the word "knocked" is intriguing, as it evokes a sense of awakening; this person's arrival has shifted the singer’s emotional state from chaos to pride and clarity. It speaks to the transformative power of love and companionship, suggesting that through this connection, past pain can be reconciled and understood, allowing the singer to stand strong in their identity.


In the concluding lines, there's an invitation for deeper emotional exchange. The call to "come and knock on my door" represents an openness to intimacy and vulnerability. It evokes a metaphorical image where both individuals can engage in a raw, sincere exploration of their feelings. The mention of "sleep on the floor" suggests a willingness to embrace simplicity and navigate life together without pretensions. This culminates in a desire for understanding the essence of their relationship, encapsulated in "show me what it’s all for." This line reinforces the idea that love and connection are not just about enjoyment but also about finding meaning and purpose together. The overall narrative embraces themes of growth, love, and the importance of genuine human connections in overcoming life's challenges.

My wife passed away last year of Covid, i can remember how she always laughed at me cause I would sing this song to her at the most awkward times, though she always loved me for it. I miss her so much. Every time i hear this song now i cry only happy tears knowing she is looking down on me with a smile.
