That's All
Genesis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I found out I'm wrong, when I thought I was right
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
I could say day and you'd say night
Tell it's black when I know that it's white
Always the same, it's just a shame and that's all
I could leave but I won't go
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
But why does it always seem to be
Me lookin' at you with you lookin' at me
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
Turnin' me on, turnin' me off
Makin' me feel like I want too much
Livin' with you's just a-puttin' me through it all of the time
Runnin' around, stayin' out all night
Takin' it all 'stead of takin' one bite
Livin' with you's just a-puttin' me through it all of the time
Well, I could leave but I won't go
Well, it'd be easier I know
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
But why does it always seem to be
Me lookin' at you, you lookin' at me
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
Truth is I love you, more than I wanted to
There's no point in tryin' to pretend
There's been no one who makes me feel like you do
Say we'll be together 'til the end
Yeah
Where I could leave but I won't go
It'd be easier I know
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
So why does it always seem to be
Me lookin' at you, you lookin' at me
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
But I love you, more than I wanted to
There's no point in trying to pretend
There's been no one who makes me feel like you do
Say we'll be together 'til the end
But just as I thought it was goin' alright
I found out I'm wrong when I thought I was right
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
Well, I could say day and you say night
Tell me it's black when I know that it's white
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
That's all
The lyrics to Genesis's song "That's All" convey a sense of frustration and resignation in a failing relationship. The singer expresses their initial optimism, thinking that things were going well, only to discover that they were mistaken. The repetition of "it's always the same, it's just a shame" emphasizes the cyclical nature of their struggles and disappointments. The singer feels unheard and misunderstood, as their perspective is constantly invalidated. Despite the difficulties, they find it hard to leave, possibly due to the deep love they have for their partner. The lyrics touch on the complexity of relationships, where love and frustration coexist, and depict the struggle of trying to hold on even when it seems futile.
Line by Line Meaning
Just as I thought it was goin' alright
Just when I thought things were going well
I found out I'm wrong, when I thought I was right
I discovered I was mistaken, despite my belief that I was correct
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
This recurring situation is consistently disappointing
I could say day and you'd say night
Even if I express something clearly, you would contradict it
Tell it's black when I know that it's white
You insist that something is the opposite of what I know it to be
Always the same, it's just a shame and that's all
This repetitive pattern is unfortunate
I could leave but I won't go
I have the option to depart, but I choose not to
Though my heart might tell me so
Despite my feelings urging me to do so
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
I am emotionally detached and numb
But why does it always seem to be
I wonder why the situation consistently appears
Me lookin' at you with you lookin' at me
I constantly find myself observing you while you do the same to me
Turnin' me on, turnin' me off
You provoke my emotions, both positive and negative
Makin' me feel like I want too much
You create a desire within me for more than I can have
Livin' with you's just a-puttin' me through it all of the time
Being in a relationship with you constantly subjects me to emotional turmoil
Runnin' around, stayin' out all night
You frequently engage in activities outside of our relationship, often until late hours
Takin' it all 'stead of takin' one bite
You choose to indulge in everything rather than focusing on one thing
Well, it'd be easier I know
I am aware that it would be simpler
Truth is I love you, more than I wanted to
In all honesty, I care for you more than I intended to
There's no point in tryin' to pretend
There is no use in pretending otherwise
There's been no one who makes me feel like you do
No one else has the ability to elicit the same emotions in me as you do
Say we'll be together 'til the end
Promise that we will remain together until the conclusion
Where I could leave but I won't go
Although I have the option to depart, I choose not to
So why does it always seem to be
I ponder why this situation consistently arises
But I love you, more than I wanted to
However, I love you more than I initially intended
That's all
That is the extent of it

It would have been an amazing song for the GTA 6 trailer too. I guess rockstar is just gonna surprise us someday.
@carsoncrews
Didn't expect to see you here hello
@lancecorporalrookie8321
Love your content, also, this whole gta 6 fiasco was the most down bad if u r here lol, ngl, even i found myself clicking on clickbait bcuz i want to see the trailer😭
@jmwFILMS
We just want answers so bad lol. I wont be surprised though if the trailer doesn't come out until 2024/5.
@lancecorporalrookie8321
@@jmwFILMS yea, tho this might be me coping hard with hopium, but i will say if it doesnt happen, then it doesnt happen, but rn the halloween event is a bit strange, especially with them celebrating day of the dead, im hispanic and i found it a bit strange that day of the dead is ending nov 1, despite it being a 2 day event, nov1-2, i was born on nov2, but on nov 2, the 1st gtav trailer came out, conviently, its a thursday, a week b4 the investor call; to side track a bit, after the 26th, i ended up watching dark space videos, and in a part of the video, they showed the time it took for rockstar to make their games, gta4 took 3.5 yrs, gta5 took 3 yrs, rdr2 says it took 8 but i reckon it most likely took 5-6yr with a 2-3yr planning process, and we can assume it prolly took those other games around 5 years, the footage of 6 was b4 2020, what if development of the game started around 2017? If they were to release 6 next year of late 24 to early 25, it would be around 6 years of development, they did put out a game like rdr2. Another thing to note, y would rockstar release a trailer or announcement on a day everyone is expecting one, what if the days that everyone was expecting something was right, but the dates were wrong? What if they do something on nov2 thurs day, and showcase something on nov 7, conviently a tuesday, literally a day b4 T2s call? Just a thoery of mine but im gonna go with 50% hopium and 50% theyre not gonna do anything, then again, if nothing doesnt happen, we could expect a trailer early next year of 2024
