All the Way
Ben l'Oncle Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's no good unless he loves you, all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you, all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue see is
If it's real
When somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you, all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years, come what may
Who know where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you, all the way
If it's real
The song is titled "All the Way" by Ben l'Oncle Soul. It features a message about the true meaning of love and the importance of loving someone completely. The first verse talks about how somebody's love is useless if it's not given in its fullness. The song then goes on to discuss the importance of being there for someone, not just in good times, but in bad times too.
The second verse speaks about the depth of love and how it goes beyond shallow waters. It continues to iterate that love needs to be given in its entirety and in all possible situations, both good and bad. The bridge touches upon the uncertainty of where life can lead people, but emphasizes that if someone lets themselves love another person, they will love them completely, no matter what.

He takes a song and completely tears it up then puts it back together in his own unique style.
