That's All
Atlantic Popes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And while I wondered wether more or less delay
I found you living in a world of tension
You were unwilling to make up your mind
Though I never knew a word to say
There's a motion over you
That's all that I go for tonight
And that's all
As all these years have left their traces on my way
And while I tried so hard to keep away decay
I lost you waiting in a world of silence
You were unable to make up your mind
Still I never know the right words to say
Which could make you simply stay
That's all what I'm here for tonight
That will be allright
And that's all
The lyrics to Atlantic Popes' song "That's All" depicts a nostalgic sense of missed opportunities and unfulfilled desires. The first verse starts with the realization of an "empty space" that the singer never noticed before. It could be interpreted as a reference to a missed opportunity or chance encounter with someone special. Despite the longing, the singer is stuck wondering whether or not to act on the feeling, while the person they desire is living in a world of tension, unable to make up their mind. Although the singer never knew what to say, they had a "motion" or impulse, which could be interpreted as the desire or urge to pursue the other person.
The second verse elaborates on the theme of missed opportunities and decay. The singer reflects on how all the years have left their "traces" on their life, and despite trying to keep decay at bay, they lost the person they wanted to be with in a "world of silence." The person was unable to make up their mind, and the singer didn't know what to say to make them stay. However, the desire and longing remain, and the singer declares that they are here for that feeling tonight, and that's all that they need.
Overall, the song captures the feeling of missed opportunities and the regret that comes with not acting on one's desires. It's a poignant reminder to seize the day and take chances when they arise.

As if I'd never realised the empty space
I didn't understand the void until I met you
And while I wondered wether more or less delay
I considered whether it was better to act or wait
I found you living in a world of tension
You were under immense pressure when I met you
You were unwilling to make up your mind
You couldn't decide what you wanted
Though I never knew a word to say
I was speechless in your presence
There's a motion over you
You're going through something right now
That's all that I go for tonight
All I want is to be with you tonight
That will be allright
Everything is going to be okay
And that's all
That's all I need to be happy
As all these years have left their traces on my way
I've been changed by the weight of time
And while I tried so hard to keep away decay
I fought to avoid decline in my life
I lost you waiting in a world of silence
You left me in a place where there was no sound
You were unable to make up your mind
You still couldn't decide what you wanted
Still I never know the right words to say
I'm still at a loss for words when I'm with you
Which could make you simply stay
Words that would convince you to stay with me
That's all what I'm here for tonight
I'm here tonight for only one thing
That will be allright
Everything is going to be alright
And that's all
All I need is to be with you
