Poppin'
All Time Low Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've got me poppin' champagne, I'm at it again
Caught up in the moment but not in the right way
I'm falling in between, tearing up at the seams
We're just aiming to please and aesthetics don't hurt one bit

So follow me down, take this all the way
Any way you want to
Why don't you say so? I think I'm caught in between
The nights and days fly by when I'm lost on the streets
And my eyes, they despise you for who I am
Why don't you say so? Why don't you say so?

You've got me thinking that lately I've been wishing
The television set would show me more
Than just a picture of the things I've grown to detest
I strip down my dignity they can take all of me
But they won't ever take what I still believe

So follow me down, take this all the way
Any way you want to

Why don't you say so? I think I'm caught in between
The nights and days fly by when I'm lost on the streets
And my eyes, they despise you for who I am
Why don't you say so? Why don't you say so?

Give up and let go, I'm just a boy with a dream
And you can take one look as I fall in between
With my eyes just as wide as my mouth can be
Why don't you say so? Why don't you say so?

I know, I know, I know
That there's a place for me somewhere out there
I know, I know, I know
That there's a place for me somewhere out there

Why don't you say so? I think I'm caught in between
The nights and days fly by when I'm lost on the streets
My eyes, they despise you for who I am
Why don't you say so? Why don't you say so?

Give up and let go, I'm just a boy with a dream
And you can take one look as I fall in between
With my eyes just as wide as my mouth can be
Why don't you say so? Why don't you say so?

Why don't you say so? Why don't you say so?
Why don't you say so? Why don't you say so?




Why don't you say so? Why don't you say so?
Why don't you say so? Why don't you say so?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of All Time Low's song "Poppin' Champagne" express the feeling of being caught in between different aspects of life. The persona in the song is feeling lost and torn apart, becoming absorbed in the moment but not in the right direction. The lyrics depict a boy with a dream who is struggling to find direction and is caught in between the days and nights. The persona has grown to detest the things and wishes for more from the television sets.


The chorus "Why don't you say so?" may indicate a plea for someone else to intervene and help this person find direction, or it might be an Indiana Jones-style plea to a woman to reveal what she knows. The lyrics convey a sense of confusion and desperation, but the persona is looking for hope as they know that there's a place for them out there. This song "Poppin' Champagne" is a call to anyone who has ever felt lost in between the days and nights, who may become blind to their true selves.

You've got me poppin' champagne
I'm at it again
Caught up in the moment
But not in the right way
I'm falling in between
Tearing up at the seams
We're just aiming to please
And aesthetics don't hurt one bit

So follow me down
Take this all the way
Any way you want to

Why don't you say so?
I think I'm caught in between
The nights and days fly by
When I'm lost on the streets
And my eyes, they despise you for who I am
Why don't you say so?
Why don't you say so?

You've got me thinking that
Lately I've been wishing
The television set would show me more
Than just a picture of the things I've grown to detest
I strip down my dignity
They can take all of me
But they won't ever take what I still believe

So follow me down
Take this all the way
Any way you want to

Why don't you say so?
I think I'm caught in between
The nights and days fly by
When I'm lost on the streets
And my eyes, they despise you for who I am
Why don't you say so?
Why don't you say so?
Give up and let go
I'm just a boy with a dream
And you can take one look
As I fall in between
With my eyes just as wide as my mouth can be
Why don't you say so?
Why don't you say so?

I know, I know, I know
That there's a place for me somewhere out there
I know, I know, I know
That there's a place for me somewhere out there

Why don't you say so?
I think I'm caught in between
The nights and days fly by
When I'm lost on the streets
And my eyes, they despise you for who I am
Why don't you say so?
Why don't you say so?
Give up and let go
I'm just a boy with a dream
And you can take one look
As I fall in between
With my eyes just as wide as my mouth can be
Why don't you say so?
Why don't you say so?

[echo]
Why don't you say so? [x8]

I feel like if you got a group of high school boys, gave them money and told them to make a music video as a school project it would turn out exactly like this

@caryngerometta3140

***** They were teenagers when they made this lol

@emg.721

***** Thats basicly what happened minus the school project part XD

@antoniarimmer9195

Caryn Gerometta I live in England so high school boys are aged 11-16 haha, sorry for the confusion :)

@caryngerometta3140

***** Ah, that would explain it. Sorry, if I'd known you were English, that would not have been my comment.

@antoniarimmer9195

Caryn Gerometta It's okay haha, I don't mind :)
