Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I gotta stay high, all the time
And I gotta stay high, all the time, to keep you off my mind.
And I gotta stay high, all the time
And I gotta stay high, all the time
And I gotta stay high, all the time, to keep you off my mind.
And I gotta stay high, all the time
And I gotta stay high, all the time
And I gotta stay high, all the time
And I gotta stay high, all the time
And I gotta stay high, all the time, to keep you off my mind.
And I gotta stay.
And I gotta stay.
And I gotta stay.
And I gotta stay.
Stay in my bed pretend, the fun ain't go no
The lyrics to Adam Hairston's song "All The Time" describe a person's need to stay high all the time to keep their ex-lover off their mind. The repetitive lines emphasize the intensity of this need, as the person states that they "gotta stay high" in a rhythmic and almost obsessive manner. The idea of being high becomes a coping mechanism for the person, allowing them to escape from their thoughts and memories of their past relationship. The use of the word "gotta" also highlights the sense of desperation and necessity that the person feels, emphasizing how much they want to move on from their lost love.
However, while the person is attempting to keep their ex off their mind, it is clear that the opposite effect is occurring - their constant need to stay high suggests that their ex is still very much present in their thoughts. The irony of the situation highlights how difficult it can be to move on from a past love, and how temporary fixes such as getting high may provide temporary relief, but do not offer a true solution to the problem. The line "Stay in my bed pretend, the fun ain't go no" adds to this feeling of temporary escape, suggesting that the person is trying to forget their past by avoiding reality and pretending that the relationship never happened.
Overall, "All The Time" portrays a sense of emotional turmoil and desperation after a failed romantic relationship. It highlights how difficult it can be to move on from a relationship and how temporary coping mechanisms may provide relief, but do not offer a long-term solution to the problem.
