Everyone
After Edmund Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes you trip and fall
Build a mountain on something small
And you know you can't catch your fall this time
Deep down beneath your bones
Does your heart beat
Is it made of stone
You can't ignore what you feel inside
Everyone you don't have to run
You don't have to find escape and wait for kingdom come
You don't have to run
No need to hide from grace
Just let love take you away
When life's a Broadway show
With your best friends on the front row
Do you realize we've all read the lines
Stretched thin out in the cold




But love can melt your paper soul
You know we can't make it on our own

Overall Meaning

The song "Everyone" by After Edmund speaks about the struggles that we face in life and how we tend to build mountains out of small problems. The lyrics suggest that when we fall, we tend to lose perspective and think that our problems are too big to handle. However, the song encourages us to pause, to take a deep breath, and to acknowledge what we feel inside. It's okay to face our fears and confront our doubts; we don't have to hide from grace. Instead, we are reminded that love can take us away and that we don't have to run from our problems or escape to find peace.


The chorus of the song emphasizes this point, insisting that we don't need to run or find escape, for we are not alone in our struggles. The people around us, our friends and family, are all facing their own battles. They, too, have read the lines of life's Broadway show and have struggled to stay afloat in the face of their problems. The key is to open our hearts to love, to allow it to warm our souls, and to remember that we cannot make it in this world alone.


Line by Line Meaning

Sometimes you trip and fall
Occasionally you stumble and lose your footing


Build a mountain on something small
Exaggerate a minor issue until it becomes overwhelming


And you know you can't catch your fall this time
You are aware that you won't be able to correct this mistake


Deep down beneath your bones
Internally, at the core of your being


Does your heart beat
Do you still feel emotions


Is it made of stone
Or has it become hardened from past experiences


You can't ignore what you feel inside
One cannot disregard their internal emotions


Everyone you don't have to run
Everyone, it's not necessary to flee


You don't have to find escape and wait for kingdom come
No need to search for an exit and anticipate salvation


No need to hide from grace
There is nothing to be gained by avoiding mercy


Just let love take you away
Allow affection to carry you away


When life's a Broadway show
When existence feels like a theatrical production


With your best friends on the front row
And your closest companions at the forefront


Do you realize we've all read the lines
Do you acknowledge that we've all been through similar circumstances


Stretched thin out in the cold
Emotionally drained and isolated


But love can melt your paper soul
However, love can warm and rejuvenate your fragile spirit


You know we can't make it on our own
We understand that we can't achieve everything independently
