GIVE IT ALL UP
Duran Duran - Topic 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 codeTo fill the empty space in with your mark
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 overI'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.

Expressing agreement and enthusiasm
I'll give it all up for you
I am willing to sacrifice everything for you
We are pinned to an evening
We are stuck in a specific moment in time
That's running out of road
Time is running out for us
As the last ray of light heads into dark
The day is coming to an end

If you want resolution
Some message in the code
A hidden message or meaning
To fill the empty space in with your mark
To leave your mark or make an impact
Standing on the edge of something greater than us all
We are on the brink of an extraordinary experience
Down into the heart of the universe as we fall
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
What ya think I'm gonna do?
What do you expect me to do?
When it's all over
When everything is finished
Giving up believing
I am letting go of my beliefs
Giving up completely
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
