We all need
Aaron & Jeoffrey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chardonnay stains and playing those games; they're living
Silhouettes dance on the balcony they've had too much
Staying out late thinking they will just chase the sun
It's a fast life, flies by, living but you can't see the colors
Tell them hold tight, don't cry, knowing that the crash is coming
We say I love you, but that's all that we do
Selling out shows and then comatose; he's living
Broken hearts lay like shards of glass on the floor
Can't find himself and she can't take this anymore
It's a fast life, flies by, living but you can't see the colors
Tell them hold tight, don't cry, knowing that the crash is coming
We say I love you but that's all that we do
It's a fast life, flies by, living but you can't see the colors
Tell them hold tight, don't cry, knowing that the crash is coming
We say I love you but that's all that we do
The lyrics of Aaron & Jeoffrey's song "We All Need" depict the contrasting lives of two individuals who seem to have everything on the surface but are deeply dissatisfied and living empty lives. The first verse describes a person who indulges in material possessions like a cherry red Porsche and diamonds, while also engaging in superficial activities like playing games and drinking chardonnay. However, they are left feeling unfulfilled, as depicted by the silhouettes dancing on the balcony after having too much to drink. They try to escape their reality by staying out late and chasing the illusion of a perfect life, but ultimately, they are unable to see the true colors of life.
In the second verse, the focus shifts to another individual who appears to have a successful career but is living a lie. They believe in false promises and compromise their values, leading to a sense of disillusionment. The broken hearts metaphorically portrayed as shards of glass on the floor symbolize their emotional pain and loss. This person is unable to find themselves and their partner reaches a breaking point due to the toxicity in their relationship. Both individuals are caught in a cycle of emptiness and superficiality, constantly proclaiming love but failing to truly live it.
The overall message conveyed in the song is that living a fast-paced, materialistic life can be superficial and unfulfilling. It warns against the dangers of chasing an illusion of happiness and the temporary gratification it provides. Ultimately, true fulfillment comes from genuine love and meaningful connections, rather than material possessions and empty pursuits.
