Setting themselves a challenging role in late 2008 to write, record and release a fresh batch of music every six months, Drawn from Bees spent their formative year building a name and proving themselves as something more than a band with a crazy idea.

The Sky Is Falling EP, offers a respite from the pace of earlier releases; a breathier departure from the building rock crescendos of The Boy & The Ocean EP, and the controlled, rollicking beat of And The Blind Shall Lead The Way.

All This Time
Drawn From Bees Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Get out
Back to see me
I don't want to
Don't want to

All this time i wasted my thoughts
All this time i wasted my thoughts
Round

Thinking of you

All this time I'm thinking of you
Don't want to

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Drawn From Bees's song "All This Time" are very straightforward yet emotionally charged. The lyricist seems to be speaking directly to someone who has recently left them or distanced themselves from the songwriter. The opening line "Get out, back to see me, I don't want to, Don't want to" suggests that this person has come back into the songwriter's life uninvited, unwanted and unappreciated. This theme is continued in the chorus where the lyricist repeats "All this time I'm thinking of you, don't want to," indicating that this person is occupying their thoughts when they would rather be focusing on something else.

The repetition of the line "All this time I wasted my thoughts, round thinking of you" further emphasizes the emotional impact this person is having on the songwriter. It implies that the person in question has been absent from the songwriter's life for some time, possibly even years, yet the songwriter has still been holding onto them in their thoughts.

I love this song! The weird "alien-ish" vibes, the whistling tune of a UFO, a lyrical story of the mystery between a boy and an old man. It's fantastic!

Wow, well... I discovered "All the world's a stage" long ago, and now that I have listened to it properly, I felt in love with you. You're magnificent!! But aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah you're so fucking incredible!
