All Through the Years
Alien Alright Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I forgot how to dance
I forgot how to act in a public place
I forgot how to touch
I forgot how it feels
I forgot what it means all through the years
And all through the years
That you′d return to my arms
And all through the years
I imagined your lips, kissing my tears
We will meet again some sunny day
I forgot how to trust
Forgot how to be kind
I forgot how to chill with nothing on my mind
I forgot how to chat
I forgot how to kiss
But can't forget how it feels even all through these years
And all through the years
I dreamt of the day
That you′d return to my arms
And all through the years
I imagined your lips, kissing my tears
We will meet again some sunny day
Now this sounds like fun, would you like to join me for a dance?
And all through the years
I dreamt of the day
That you'd return to my arms
And all through the years
I imagined your lips, kissing my tears
We will meet again some sunny day
The lyrics to "All Through the Years" by Alien Alright express the feelings of someone who has been without love for a long time. The singer has forgotten how to love, dance, trust, and even chat. They miss the feeling how it used to be, and dream of being reunited with someone who they hope will rekindle those long-lost emotions. The chorus repeats the idea that the singer has waited a long time for their lover to return, and they imagine their embrace and the comfort of their kisses wiping away years of loneliness and isolation.
The verse about forgetting how to trust and be kind suggests that the singer has been hurt in love before and perhaps has built walls up around themselves. The line "I forgot how to chill with nothing on my mind" implies that they have been living in their headspace, perhaps stuck in old memories or anxieties, preventing them from being fully present in the moment. The offer to dance at the end of the song could represent a willingness to let go of the past and be open to new experiences and people.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of longing and desperation, underscoring the importance of human connection to one's well-being. It's a sad and thoughtful reflection on the nature of time and personal growth.

Yeah that's the hollywood mainstream time line. But whats so great about this IP is that many outlets have put their fingers in the pot and so there are MANY different time lines. My favorite is...
1. There was NO avp movies that are canon. It just messes everything up that modern people were exposed to the alien and predator before WY had the ability to travel to far planets, colonize them, and then discover the alien species.
2. The 2 pre alien cameron movies are part of the time line but there is a movie missing to connect the original alien movie to the pre alien movies. COME ON NOW CAMERON!!! GIVE IT TO US!!!
3. (and probably the biggest part of my preferred timeline is...) After the Aliens movie I switch over to the DARK HORSE alien comics. in this time line Newt, Hicks, Bishop, and Ripley not only survive Newt, Hicks, and Bishop (Ripley is MIA at the moment) return to Earth and experience life after the alien experience. WY tries their best to either silence them or put them back to work like Hicks continuing his military life. But the word is out...an alien supreme being is out there and the different companies want to obtain it for different reasons. At one point WY convinces Hicks to go on a mission to destroy the aliens "Home world". Whats crazy is Hicks is able to free Newt from the company and brings her as a stowaway on the mission. while newt and hicks are away from earth one of the companies does get their hands on a queen and stupidly brings it to earth for testing. As you would expect at some point they lose control of the aliens (how is kind of complicated and really the weak part of this particular timeline) and BAM the aliens are now on the loose on earth. It doesnt take long for the outbreak to spin out of control and we humans lose earth COMPLETELY. few are able to escape earth to far off planet colonize or floating space station. Billions die, massive swarms of aliens roam earth for food and/or vessels for new aliens, and the remaining humans try their best to survive day to day in the absolute hell that is now earth. The absolute mind fuck comes when Newt and Hicks return from the mission (which was deemed a success) to earth only to find out that the mission meant nothing and accomplished nothing because the WHOLE EARTH is now a blood bath from the creatures they believed they destroyed. The story continues (mainly side stories and stories of what it is now like on earth) until the original Aliens band gets back together (including Ripley) and they find out there is a an ultimate alien leader called the Queen Mother on a far off planet who has the ability to control all of the aliens across the whole universe (yes it's a plot devise so dont think too much into it). They are able to capture the creature and bring it back to earth. They use the Queen Mother to horde the vast majority of the aliens on earth into one location and basically "nuke the site from orbit" (kind of a lame climax but whatever). With the aliens population cut down extremally it gives the colonial marines the ability to come back to earth and reclaim it over time.
THIS IS THE DIRECTION THE MAINSTREAM ALIENS CONTENT COULD HAVE GONE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VASTLY BETTER than what we got.
Sorry for plugging another channel but there is a channel called "ALIEN THEORY" that recalls the Alien Earth War from the dark horse comics. He is amazing at narrating the summarization of the comics from start to finish. His vids is the BEST at not only getting the whole story in a bites size manor but also the FEELING of the story as well. Check him out!!!

Amazing rundown of the timeline mate, I can imagine the research that went into it.
YES! The amount of bonehead decisions made in Prometheus by the crew was some Idiocracy levels of clueless.
@terranncegilmore
Aliens is my favorite movie of all time. My older brother introduced it to me when I was too young. I cannot hear the motion tracker beeps without getting anxious.
Hudson is literally an all-timer.

The difference between Brian David Gilbert and everyone else: he actually reads all the novels for his research.
@michaelelsy2209
Good information, what a lot of hard work.

That Bill and Ted clip was perfect, for the Aliens movie.
@GODi76667
I'm kinda curious as what would happen if a Viltrumite stumbles upon a Xenomorph egg at sometime later we know its gonna pop out its chest in a viltrumite and i have some questions like:
1. After it pops out of its chest does the Viltrumite live cuz of its healing genes or dies in the process?
2. Does the Xenomorph still becomes a xenomorph or does the Viltrumite genes kick in and takes over the Xenomorph genes making it the superior Xenomorph¿🤔?
And man do i wanna see a crossover of Invincible vs. Aliens comic just to know what would happen🤔
@ernestareheart4238
Such a classic. Finally
