We decided that we should try and never do two songs that sound similar and, in the process, developed a sound that’s filled many different influences and genres, yet keeping a familiar pop-punk identity" ...To be honest, it was more like, "Three friends had a revelation and realised that they all played instruments, so they made a band. And named themselves after a map in COD4."

All I Need
Crossfire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When love was pure , and dreams came true
But now I find myself , just sitting in this room
Searching for answers , staring at the moon
(Pre-chorus:)
Don't you know that we were meant for each other
There's no use of looking other ways
I promise baby , I'll never walk away
(Chorus:)
All I need is you , to be right here
To feel you by my side
There's no other way , I want you here
To hold you in my arms
The look of your sweet smile , is always in my head
The smell of your body , all over my bed
How could I been so wrong ?
How did I let her go ?
I just can't help it , I feel so alone
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
And after all those nights
I thought it'd never end
I wanna move on with my life
I need to break the chains , ohh
(Chorus)
Oh oh oh
"All I Need" by Crossfire is a song about lost love and the yearning to bring it back. The first verse reminisces about the times that were spent with the love interest, where love was pure and dreams came true. However, the singer is now left sitting in a room, searching for answers and staring at the moon, possibly indicating that the love has been lost, only leaving the memory of it behind. The pre-chorus expresses the singer's feelings that the two were meant to be together, and no other ways should be looked at. He hopes to be together again and promises never to walk away. The chorus reiterates his longing to have his love interest by his side, hold her in his arms and feel complete once again. The second verse talks about the memories, the image of the love interest's smile, and the smell of her lingering scent causing a feeling of being so wrong and that he can't help feeling alone.
The melancholy tune of the song gives the impression that the singer is in a difficult emotional state. The lyrics are touching and straightforward, expressing what the singer has felt after losing his love. The song's meaning is clear, and the lyrics do an excellent job of expressing the feeling of someone who has lost their love. The use of imagery helps to create a vivid picture of the love interest in the listener's mind, making it easier to sympathize with the singer's state. These lyrics can be representative of anyone who has lost a cherished love and yearns to reclaim it, giving it a universal appeal.
