Give It All
Brains The Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your secrets open up to my answers
And every time I think I know, I find I really never know
Certainty is a luxury for the masses
I want it all, I want it all
I wanna deconstruct your opinions
And every time I think I know, I find I really never know
Certainty is a luxury for the masses
Don't wanna take it slow
I need to know
Whatever makes you go
Help me understand it, I don't know
I opened up, you spoke your mind
Your sermon left me weary and hopeless
And every time you tell me why, I see you choking on a lie
Acceptance is a luxury for the masses
Complacency's a luxury for dumb asses
Don't wanna take it slow
I need to know
Whatever makes you go
Help me understand it, I don't know
If I could open up your head
Would all your thoughts be what you said
Or is the chain you're pullin' all your own?
Don't wanna take it slow
I need to know
Whatever makes you go
Help me understand it, I really have to hand it
To your leaders, they're the breeders of the clones
The lyrics to "Give It All" by Brains The touch on themes of knowledge, uncertainty, and the desire to understand others. The song starts with the singer claiming to know everything and be able to uncover people's secrets, but quickly realizes that despite this knowledge, they still lack certainty. The line "Certainty is a luxury for the masses" suggests that having absolute certainty is not common or easily attainable.
The singer expresses a desire to deconstruct others' opinions and gain a better understanding. However, they continuously find that their knowledge is limited and they never truly know everything. This realization is emphasized with the line "Certainty is a luxury for dumb asses," suggesting that those who claim to have all the answers might not be as wise as they think.
The chorus reflects the frustration of the singer wanting to know and understand everything, feeling the need to move quickly and not be satisfied with complacency. They seek insight into what motivates and drives others, as they feel uncertain themselves.
The third paragraph delves into a conversation or interaction where the singer opens up and the other person shares their perspective. However, the sermon or explanation from the other person leaves the singer feeling weary and hopeless. They see through the lies and realize that acceptance, just like certainty, is a luxury for the masses. The mention of complacency as a luxury for dumb asses further reinforces the idea that blindly accepting things without question is not wise.
The final verse poses a hypothetical scenario where the singer could peer into someone's thoughts. They question whether the thoughts they would find inside the person's head align with what they actually say or if they are driven by hidden motives. This reflects the singer's struggle to understand others and highlights the duplicity that might exist in society.
Overall, "Give It All" presents a theme of the limits of knowledge and understanding, the frustration of uncertainty, and the desire to see beyond surface-level explanations. The lyrics criticize blind acceptance and emphasize the importance of questioning and seeking deeper understanding.

I just have one question about this.
Did they gave you a script for the lyrics?
Or they told you the sequence for the episode?
Cuz you know, the song and the episode are blend together so...
Did the song shaped the episode?
or
the episode (script) shaped the lyrics?
It would be sooo damn great if I get an answer.

The B&M writers made the perfect choice when they picked Voltaire for a commissioned song. His style just matches the show so well.
