Give It All Up
Duran Duran & Tove Lo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll give it all up for you
We are pinned to an evening
That's running out of road
As the last ray of light heads into dark
If it's closure you're craving
Some message in the code
Oh oh oh oh-oh, yeah
I'll give it all up for you
Standing on the edge of something greater than us all
Down into the heart of the universe as we fall
Falling with the fires trailing glory on their way
Know that we are heading for tomorrow today
Anyway, lover
What ya think I'm gonna do?
When it's all over
I'll give it all up for you
Giving up believing
Giving up completely
For you
Knowing that world will keep on turning, going on
And we let the night forever burn when we're gone
Burning with the stars that wander lonely on their way
Know that life is heading here tomorrow today
Anyway, lover
What ya think I'm gonna do?
When it's all over
I'll give it all up for you
Giving up believing
Giving up completely
For you
Yeah
I'll give it all up for you
And the sun beats down on skin and ground
And anything between
And the moon looks down
On broken bounds
There's a space between us
With that cold blue shine
And I can't remember
How our love felt at the start
No, I can't remember
Anyway, lover
What ya think I'm gonna do? (gonna do)
When it's all over
I'll give it all up for you
Giving up believing (giving up believing)
Giving up completely
For you
The lyrics of Duran Duran's song GIVE IT ALL UP ft. Tove Lo revolves around a relationship that seems to have reached the end, and the singer is willing to give up everything for their lover. They seem to be in a situation where they are running out of time, and the evening of their relationship is coming to an end, symbolized by the last ray of light heading into the dark. If the lover is looking for closure, the singer is willing to give them the message that they need to fill the empty spaces in their lives. The chorus, "I'll give it all up for you," repeats several times, indicating the singer's willingness to sacrifice everything for their lover.
The second verse emphasizes the vastness of the emotions that the relationship has given rise to, with the singer standing on the edge of something greater than both of them, leading them into the heart of the universe. As they fall, they are surrounded by fire, stars, and glory, symbolizing the intensity of their emotions. The bridge of the song talks about the inevitability of time and how life goes on even after they are gone. However, the singer emphasizes their willingness to give up everything, including their belief in anything, for the lover.

We are pinned to an evening

We are descending into the unknown
Falling with the fires trailing glory on their way
Falling towards an unknown future with determination and grace
Know that we are heading for tomorrow today
Our actions today will shape tomorrow
Anyway, lover
Regardless, my love

I am surrendering everything
For you
For your sake
Knowing that world will keep on turning, going on
Acknowledging that life will continue without us
And we let the night forever burn when we're gone
We will leave behind a lasting legacy
Burning with the stars that wander lonely on their way
Burning with passion and ambition like the wandering stars
Know that life is heading here tomorrow today
The future is approaching quickly
And the sun beats down on skin and ground
The sun is shining down on everything around us
And anything between
And everything else
And the moon looks down
The moon is watching over us
On broken bounds
On boundaries that have been crossed
There's a space between us
There is distance between us
With that cold blue shine
With a distant and melancholy feeling
And I can't remember
I cannot recall
How our love felt at the start
How our love was at the beginning
No, I can't remember
It is lost to me

@resa.walters
I can't pick a fav song on this album, yet, but this one is definitely one of my favorites.
So many places are back ordered and sold out of this album, already.
There's even a box version that's signed, how cool is that?
Then there's an extended version with three bonus tracks.
I wanna get the t -shirt as a bonus which I think I saw on DD's official website.
I'll be ordering mine soon.
Great to finally be hearing this fab new stuff! 👍

A new Duran album resets everything right in the world again.

Simon is still operating at 100%. Unbelievable.
@riczen6652
This I can agree with. I'm not a fan of the song, but Simon's voice still sounds amazing.
@asheimmortal
I turn 44 next month and I have for real followed Duran Duran since I was 3. They were all I had as a kid. The best band that ever was and ever will be!
