The current members of All Left Out met playing shows together, in different bands. All Left Out self recorded an EP, 'Retrospect' in January 2003. In February 2005, the band funded and produced the recording of their debut album, entitled 'Never Say Never'.
In June 2005 they flew to the USA and began full time promoting and touring. At this point, the album was independently released in New Zealand, the USA and parts of Canada, as well as the UK, in May 2006. It has so far, independently, sold 17,500 copies worldwide.
On returning home to New Zealand in December 2005, they wasted no time in self-booking the 'Never Say Never' tour, which commenced in March 2006 and included extensive dates in the US, and the UK.
In February 2007 the band traveled to Melbourne, Australia to record the self- funded album, titled ‘The Conquest’. All Left Out made their fourth visit to the USA in June of 2007. They released the new album, and have independently sold 14,000 copies of it, to date. The band also played over half of the 2007 Vans Warped Tour.
This means they have independently sold over 31,000 albums worldwide.
Through their relentless self-promotion efforts, the band has established a fan base in all major cities of the USA, UK and New Zealand.
They are currently touring New Zealand with good friends, Arms Reach, on "The Conquest" tour, supporting their latest album.

Century
All Left Out Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can see the sun
And I'm in anticipation of good things to come
So this is how it feels
To be a part of something real
To be a part of something greater than I know.
We will all be gone.
Life was meant to be
Good for everyone.
As the sun goes down
In the western sky
As I sit here in reflection of the days gone by
I am 21.
I'm 21 years young.
With 21 years to be thankful for.
In a century,
We will all be gone.
Life was meant to be
Good for everyone
The song "Century" by All Left Out reflects on the passage of time and the fleeting nature of human existence. The opening lines of the song describe a new day dawning and the singer's anticipation for good things to come. This sense of hope is contrasted with the ominous reminder that in a century, all of us will be gone.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of nostalgia and reflection on the past. The second verse describes the sun setting in the western sky, and the singer sitting in reflection of the days gone by. However, there is also a sense of gratitude for the time that has been given. The singer notes that they are 21 years young, with 21 years to be thankful for.
The lyrics of "Century" urge the listener to appreciate the present moment and the fleeting nature of life. The repetition of the refrain, "In a century, we will all be gone," serves as a reminder to make the most of the time we have and to strive towards a better future for everyone.
