All the Rage
Cary Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Inside you know an empire of soul
To hold on for love
Hurts me, it's slow
One word's enough
One word this time
It never comes
Faith...
It's all the rage
To hold on for love
Hurts me, it's slow
One word's enough
One word this time
It never comes
It never comes
Faith...
It's all the rage
It's all the rage
It's all the rage
The lyrics of Cary Brothers' song "All the Rage" seem to be touching upon the topic of hope, love, faith and the pain that comes with holding on to love. The first two lines talk about how the person inside knows that they have a heart full of hope and an empire of soul, indicating deep and intense emotions. However, the pain that comes with holding on to love is highlighted in the lines "To hold on for love hurts me, it's slow". The repetition of "one word's enough, one word this time, it never comes" shows the frustration of waiting for a single word that could make things better but it never comes, adding to the feeling of emptiness.
The chorus talks about how "faith is all the rage", indicating how it is the need of the hour to have faith in one's own self, in the universe, in love and life in general. The repetition of "it's all the rage" at the end of the chorus can be interpreted in two ways. It could either mean that faith is trending, or that everyone is feeling the need to have faith at the moment. The song implies that while it might be difficult to hold on to love, having faith can help one get through it.
