Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All my life, I've been afraid to die
You didn't stay by my side
So tell me why, you always gotta lie
I cannot sleep at night
All my life, I've been afraid to die
You didn't stay by my side
So tell me why, you always gotta lie
Ever since I got dumped off my life felt like hell
Curse plus trauma, bitch casted on me a bad spell
All my life waited for someone new, damn who would've knew
That all my life I have been waiting for you, my Izzy boo
All my life, I've been afraid to die
You didn't stay by my side
So tell me why, you always gotta lie
I cannot sleep at night
All my life, I've been afraid to die
You didn't stay by my side
So tell me why, you always gotta lie
I cannot sleep at night
I cannot sleep demons shake the cages making me deprived
When your not right by my side don't know how I survived
Hold me close
Don't care what's going on I just wanna do the most
Hold me close
I'd rather take you over, and over, overdose
All my life, have been waiting for you for so long
All my life, realized to do right have to do wrong
All my life, I've been afraid to die (Afraid to die)
You didn't stay by my side (Stay by my side)
So tell me why (Why), you always gotta lie (You always gotta lie)
I cannot sleep at night (Sleep at night)
All my life (Life), I've been afraid to die (Afraid to die)
You didn't stay by my side (Stay by my side)
So tell me why (Why), you always gotta lie (Lie)
I cannot sleep at night (Sleep at night)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) (All my life)
(All my life, I've been afraid to die
You didn't stay by my side
So tell me why, you always gotta lie
I cannot sleep at night)
The lyrics of Big K.R.I.T. Ft. Gennessee's song "All My Life" talk about the journey of the singer, as he searches for something that would satisfy him. He says that he has been searching for something all his life, but he hasn't found it yet. It seems like he is talking about some sort of fulfillment or satisfaction, which he has been looking for but hasn't achieved yet. He adds that he dreams of the day when he would find what he is looking for, but it always seems to be taken away from him. He finds that the feeling of loss that he experiences is the most intense.
In the following lines, he addresses someone and asks them to calm down and not resist. He says that they have a delicate wrist and he wants something to hold when he loses his grip. It's unclear who he is talking to or what he is referring to when he says he wants something to hold, but it could be interpreted as a metaphor for emotional support. He wonders if he would find something in there that would give him just what he needs, another reason to bleed. He emphasizes that he loves it but hates the taste, suggesting that whatever he is searching for or whatever he wants to hold is both desirable and painful for him.
The song is a melancholic ballad that explores themes of longing, loss, and desire. The lyrics are cryptic and open to interpretation, which makes them all the more intriguing. Some people believe that the song talks about addiction or substance abuse, while others think that it's about the search for love or emotional intimacy. It's possible that the songwriter had multiple inspirations when he wrote the song, and it can be interpreted in many different ways.
