All I Have
Chromium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no one left to blame but me
I cannot forget all the things done to me
No purpose left to hide it all,
The thought that's inside of us
Take every breathe before I get a chance for more
You're all I have, all I need
Just give it a chance, you will see
I'm all you have, all you need
Let me in and you will see
That you are just like me
Now, alone again I pray
So take me from this place I see
I will not forget all the thing done for me
No reason left to hide it all,
The thought that’s inside of us
Take every breathe before I get a chance for more
You're all I have, all I need
Just give it a chance and you will see
Just give it a chance, you will see
I'm all you have, all you need
Let me in and you will see
That you are just like me
All I want is for you to be free
Don't be ashamed of me
Don't be ashamed of me
All I want is for you to be free
Don't hide away (don't hide away)
Be proud of me
You're all I have, all I need
Just give it a chance and you will see
Just give it a chance, you will see
I'm all you have, all you need
Let me in and you will see
That you are just like me
The lyrics to the song "All I Have" by Chromium express a deep sense of loneliness and desperation. The opening lines of the song describe how the singer is lost and lying by themselves, with no one left to blame but themselves. The lyrics suggest that the singer has done some bad things in their life and is struggling to cope with the guilt and shame. They feel like there is no purpose left in life and they have a relentless thought going through their mind.
However, the mood of the song shifts when the chorus comes in. The singer seems to find solace in the idea that the person they are singing to is all they have and all they need. They plead with this person to let them in and see that they are not alone in their struggles. In the second verse, the singer continues to wrestle with their inner demons, but they are still longing for the support of this special person. The song concludes with the singer asking this person not to hide away and to be proud of them.
