All Or Nothing
Dave Silcox & D.O.D Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's always something, it's all or nothing
It's all or nothing, it's all or nothing
It's all or nothing, it's all or nothing

How many times we've gone down this road again?
Y mi mente ya no siente, can't bring this to an end
I guess I'm the one to blame for this
And who's to say I didn't mean that shit?

But that day came without a doubt
Pointing fingers led you out

Time to quit placing the blame
It's all or nothing, it's all or nothing
Rid myself of this fucking disease
It will not break me

The truth has come to the light
You always take it to heart
It's always something, it's all or nothing
The truth is where we will start
It's gonna take all you've got
It's always something, it's all or nothing

Y yo no puedo vivir toda mi vida like this
I won't waste another second of my time in this mess
I can't cope within the negative
Won't waste my life ever giving a shit
I left this game without a doubt
You know I'm never losing out

Time to quit placing the blame
It's all or nothing, it's all or nothing
Rid myself of this fucking disease
It will not break me

The truth has come to the light
You always take it to heart
It's always something, it's all or nothing
The truth is where we will start
It's gonna take all you've got
It's always something, it's all or nothing

It's always something, no room for discussion
It's the last time you point your fingers, repercussions
You say you did, now you sayin' that it doesn't
Too many chances, liars can't be trusted

Self destruction, apologies mean nothing
All of a sudden, time's up, judgment is coming
Did what I could to show you the light
So don't tell me that I didn't try to make this right
Come on man (let me hear you loud)

The truth has come to the light
You always take it to heart
It's always something, it's all or nothing
The truth is where we will start
It's gonna take all you've got
It's always something, it's all or nothing

Now let me hear you say loud
It's all or nothing, come on
Now let me hear you say loud (hear you say loud)

It's all or nothing
All or nothing

Overall Meaning

The song "All or Nothing" by Dave Silcox & D.O.D talks about a relationship that has gone through a lot of ups and downs. The lyrics suggest that the relationship is at a crossroads, and it's time to make a decision. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the idea that it's either all or nothing, meaning that the couple needs to put all their effort into making the relationship work or walk away from it completely. The singer expresses frustration and a desire to rid himself of the negative emotions that come with the relationship, referring to it as a "disease" that he needs to get rid of.

The verses delve deeper into the problems in the relationship, with the singer admitting to his faults and taking responsibility for the breakdown. He acknowledges that he may have said things he didn't mean and that one specific incident led to a falling out. The singer also seems to be at a point where he's had enough of the blame game and wants his partner to take responsibility for their actions. The bridge of the song implies that the couple has had many chances to make it work, but there's no room for discussion anymore. It's either they put in all their effort, or it's all over.
