All the Girls
Caracol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See them tread on your shadow today
All the girls whose hearts have been stolen
Now grow fast where you once layed.
Or the amplitude of the heartbreak
is overestimated it seems
buried in love and lonely as shade
your old tin box is restin' in peace
All the girls
All the pretty girls
They don't care anymore, they don't feel the same
Now and then they speak your name
Reminded of you by some oldain
All the girls whose hearts have been broken
We'll cry for you no more
(da, da, da, da, da, da, AH, Ah, ah)
(da, da, da, da, da, da, AH, Ah, ah)
Oh, the magnitude of the earthquake
was overestimated it seems
There's a man in the magnonimous shade
getting old but the tin box is restin' in peace
All the girls
All the beautiful girls
Lighthearted and lies but suffer in vain
Look at you
Isn't a shame?
Little dust in the hallway,
broken tambourine
Night is through
and the guests are gone
leaving you all alone in the garden
Life went on and the girls moved on
Some dust in the hallways,
who cares after all?
All the girls whose hearts have been broken
We'll cry for you no more
We'll cry for you no more
(da, da, da, da, da, da, AH, Ah, ah)
(da, da, da, da, da, da, AH, Ah, ah)
All the girls whose hearts have been broken (da, da, da, da, da, da, AH, Ah, ah)
All the girls whose hearts have been broken (da, da, da, da, da, da, AH, Ah, ah)
All the girls whose hearts have been broken (da, da, da, da, da, da)
Caracol's song "All the Girls" speaks about the emotional pain of heartbreak and the ways in which women deal with it. The song is a tribute to all the women who have had their hearts broken, and it acknowledges their suffering while also suggesting that they can grow and move on from their pain.
The opening lines of the song set the tone for its melancholic mood, as it refers to the girls who have suffered heartbreak and are left to walk on the shadow of their former love. The second stanza acknowledges the idea that heartbreak can often be exaggerated, and that some women might feel the need to bury their emotions in order to move on. The "old tin box" referred to in the lyrics could be a metaphor for the memories of past relationships that are kept as a reminder of what was lost.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the notion that women can overcome heartbreak and no longer need to cry over their lost loves. The line "All the girls whose hearts have been broken, we'll cry for you no more" is a message of empowerment, suggesting that women can move beyond their pain and find new joy in their lives.
In the third stanza, the song talks about the pain of heartbreak and the illusion of happiness, suggesting that even those who appear to be lighthearted and carefree often suffer in silence. The line "Look at you, isn't it a shame? Little dust in the hallway, broken tambourine" suggests that the broken heart has left a metaphorical mess behind, and that the remnants of the relationship are scattered around the house.
The final stanza of the song suggests that time heals all wounds, and that the pain of heartbreak eventually fades away. The line "Some dust in the hallways, who cares after all?" suggests that the emotional debris of the relationship is no longer important, and that the girls who have suffered heartbreak are no longer defined by their past experiences.

Time passed and the girls progressed and moved on from their heartbreak
Some dust in the hallways, who cares after all?
The remnants of the past, no matter how insignificant they may be, do not have any significant impact on one's present or future
We'll cry for you no more
No longer shedding tears for the pain and heartbreak of the past
