All That's Left of Me
Aaron Sprinkle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a hollowed out tree
When you find me
Will you hide me?
See you, see through
Everything that I do
When I see you
Sleep tight, slipping quiet
Into the night
Will you help me?
Will you help me?
Slipping towards the opening
Empty out all that's left of me
Sleep tight, slipping quiet
Into the night
Will you help me?
Will you help me?
See you, see through
Everything that I do
Will you help me?
Will you help me?
The song "All That's Left of Me" by Aaron Sprinkle is an emotional plea from the perspective of someone who is asking for help from another person who knows everything they do, and sees through them. The opening lines, "Find me, hide me in a hollowed out tree, when you find me will you hide me?" show a sense of vulnerability and a desire to escape. The singer is searching for a place to hide, perhaps from something or someone they are afraid of.
The chorus repeats the lines "Sleep tight, slipping quiet into the night, will you help me?" which suggests that the singer is seeking safety and protection. The line "slipping towards the opening, empty out all that's left of me" could be interpreted as the singer feeling like they are losing a part of themselves, or possibly trying to let go of the past.
The second verse has the same structure as the first, with the singer asking for help and guidance. The final chorus repeats the lines "see you, see through everything that I do, will you help me?" which emphasizes the theme of transparency and the fear of being seen through by someone close to them.
Overall, the song's lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability, fear, and a desire for protection and guidance from a trusted companion.
