A.R.R. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe some day
I need never be alone
I know I say
It's the right way
But you'll never be the one
I've been walking alone now
I don't want to hang out now
With the friends that just aren't mine
Party to party
You've been looking
But your search will never end
You've been hanging
With the wrong crowd
You've got all the right friends
I've been walking alone now
For a long, long time
I don't want to hang out now
With the friends that just aren't mine
I don't want to be with you anymore
I just don't want you anymore
I don't want to be with you anymore
I just don't want you anymore
These lyrics from A.R.R.'s song All Rights Reserved suggest a sense of longing for independence and growth.

It seems as though the singer has outgrown their current social circle and longs to find new friends who align with their current goals and values. The phrase "you've got all the right friends" could be interpreted as sarcastic, implying that while their friends may seem successful and impressive on the surface, they do not provide the fulfillment and connection that the singer desires.

They make it clear that they no longer wish to be with them and have made a decision to move on from this relationship.
