All Out
Anna Scouten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
think of all the silly games
Hold my breath is silence
try to send you on your way
All the love lost over
All the lovely years I've known
Crawl into your bed dear
it's as if I think it's home
we spend in hiding
is suppose to do us well
Truth is all the time we spend in hiding
just makes it our own hell
I want it all out
I want it all out
I want it all out
I want it all out
Why do I do this
I play all your silly games
I hang myhead in shame dear
at the end of every day
and why do you do this
after all is said and done
You hold me in your arms babe
it's as if you think it's fun
You figure all the times I said "It's over"
It wassomething that you lacked
Truth is
all the times I said "It's over"
was to see if you'd come back
I want it all out
I want it all out
I want it all out
I want it all out
The lyrics to Anna Scouten's song "All Out" describe the ups and downs of a romantic relationship. The singer seems to be questioning why they continue to engage in "silly games" with their partner, holding onto past memories and emotions that make them feel stuck. The repeated chorus "I want it all out" conveys a desire for the truth and honesty to come to light, and for the relationship to be stripped down to its core.
The line "All the time we spend in hiding just makes it our own hell" speaks to the idea that avoiding problems and not being honest with ourselves and our partners can ultimately create more pain than facing the issues head-on. The singer also acknowledges their own role in the relationship troubles, admitting to playing their partner's games and feeling shame for it.
The final verse suggests that both partners are struggling to communicate honestly with each other, with the singer questioning why their partner continues to hold onto the relationship despite their apparent lack of commitment. It's unclear whether the relationship ultimately survives or ends, but the song conveys a sense of longing and a desire for clarity and honesty.

I love this song! To me it reminds like when a girl when she dates a boy that likes her. But then they start all fights and such. ''Silly games'' it's like to me like she let's him say sorry because he is cheating. I wish I know how to play the guitar and sing this on Rocking After School talent show.
