We're All We Need
Above & Beyond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You tell me of a place you like to go
You say it will reach out and seize the sorrow
And we always mean to act on what we say
So come on, oh darling now hurry hurry let's go

We're all we need
Oh darling
We're all we need
Ooh darling
Hey we're all we need
Ooh darling
Hey, we're all we need
Ooh darling

I told you of a place that I had been
It was dark and I was supremely alone
No matter now if the compass fails again
'Cause in your love, I built a home

We're all we need
Oh darling
yeah we're all we need
Ooh darling
We're all we need
Oh darling
yeah, we're all we need
Oh darling

hey, we're all we need
hey, we're all we need
hey, we're all we need
hey, we're all we need

We're all we need
Oh darling
hey, we're all we need
Ooh darling
hey, we're all we need
Oh darling
hey, we're all we need
Ooh darling

Most certainly I'm where I'm supposed to be
In a molten sun, with you I am free
Today our hearts won first prize




'Cause we're wise with the feeling
Yeah we're all we need

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Above & Beyond Feat. Zoë Johnston's song We're All We Need convey a message of unity and the power of love over dark times. The song tells the story of two people desperately needing a place to escape their sorrow and loneliness. They both talk about a place they know will make them feel better, and the urgency of the situation propels them to take action and go together to find it. The lyrics tell us that sometimes all we need is each other to overcome our pain and that through love, we can create a home for ourselves.


When the singer talks about a place that they "had been" that was "dark and supremely alone," it gives the impression of being lost in a dark place in a mind, body or soul. For a moment, it feels like the compass that guided them out of it failed. However, in the other person's love, they managed to create a home. The metaphorical language suggests that they found love in the midst of hopelessness and built a new, warm place for themselves.


The chorus reinforces the central message of the song - that "we're all we need," and that by standing together and finding solace in each other, we can overcome any obstacle. The lyrics emphasize that, through love, they won first prize and that they are now wiser for experiencing this feeling. The song's uplifting nature and the harmonious vocals create a strong feeling of connection and positivity that resonates with listeners.

My brother passed away last week, looking for memories and pictures I found he sent me this song many years ago in an old email, it is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. My heart is broken but I feel closer to him listening to it.

@elevationview673
