ALL ABOUT YOU
Enrique Iglesias Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everyone I know, they don't know me
I like to be alone, yeah I'm lonely
Head up in the clouds, that's where I'll be
And when I come down you can owe me
I know I've been a little out of patience
And I don't even know what I'm chasing
It's hard to live with me, gotta face it
Gotta face it

It's all about you when I can't sleep
It's all about you in my bad dreams
It's all about when I'm wasted
It's all about you, all about you
It's all about you in these late nights
Saying too much when we drunk fight
It's all about you in these love songs
It's all about you, all about you, you

Everything I think, everything I say
Everything I did, pushing you away
In my feelings on a Sunday morning
I just can't explain all the fucking pain
All the time you take up in my head
All the nights we stayed up in my bed
Thinking that I love but it's not true
Everything I do, I do about you

It's all about you when I can't sleep
It's all about you in my bad dreams
It's all about when I'm wasted
It's all about you, all about you
It's all about you in these late nights
Saying too much when we drunk fight
It's all about you in these love songs
It's all about you, all about you, you

I wish that we could fly away
Fly away like paper planes
I just wanna get away
Fly away, fly away

In my head
All about, all about you
In my head
All about, all about you

It's all about you when I can't sleep
It's all about you in my bad dreams
It's all about when I'm wasted
It's all about you, all about you
It's all about you in these late nights
Saying too much when we drunk fight
It's all about you in these love songs
It's all about you, all about you, you

I wish that we could fly away
Fly away like paper planes
I just wanna get away
Fly away, fly away
I wish that we could fly away
Fly away like paper planes
I just wanna get away
Fly away, fly away

I wish that we could fly away
Fly away like paper planes




I just wanna get away
Fly away, fly away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Enrique Iglesias's song "All About You" delve into the singer's feelings of loneliness and his inability to escape thoughts of a past relationship. The opening lines describe how the people around him do not truly know him, emphasizing his preference for solitude. He admits to having his head in the clouds, implying that he often daydreams or fantasizes about different things. However, when he eventually "comes down," he expects some sort of acknowledgment or compensation from others.


The singer recognizes that he has been lacking patience and direction in his life. He feels lost and uncertain about what he is striving for. He then candidly confesses that living with him can be difficult and that this fact needs to be accepted and faced by those around him. The repeated notion that it is "all about you" suggests that his focus and attention are constantly centered on this person, even overriding his own well-being.


In the next verse, the artist reveals that everything in his mind, words, and actions has revolved around pushing this person away, though he cannot explain the profound pain he experiences as a result. The lyrics highlight the amount of mental and emotional space this person occupies, as well as the nights they spent together in bed. Despite thinking he loves them, he realizes that his feelings are not genuine and that everything he does is ultimately centered around this individual.


The chorus reaffirms that the singer's obsession with this person permeates even his subconscious, infiltrating his sleep and dreams. It is evident that alcohol exacerbates their dysfunctional relationship, leading to arguments and excessive confessions. The love songs the singer creates are all dedicated to this person, emphasizing how they consume his thoughts and inspiration.


In the bridge, the artist expresses a desire to escape from this toxic dynamic by using the metaphor of flying away like paper planes. The longing to "get away" is a manifestation of wanting to leave behind the pain and the person themselves. The repetition of this wish for escape underscores the intensity of his yearning.


Overall, "All About You" explores the singer's internal struggle with the remnants of a relationship that has left him feeling isolated and unable to move on. It portrays deep emotions of loneliness, obsession, and a desperate longing for freedom from the hold this person has on him.

Everyone I know, they don't know me
The people in my life don't truly understand me


I like to be alone, yeah I'm lonely
I enjoy solitude, but it makes me feel lonely


Head up in the clouds, that's where I'll be
I often daydream and have my thoughts in a different world


And when I come down you can owe me
When I return to reality, you'll owe me something


I know I've been a little out of patience
I acknowledge that I haven't been very patient


And I don't even know what I'm chasing
I'm uncertain about what I'm pursuing


It's hard to live with me, gotta face it
Living with me can be challenging, you have to accept it


Gotta face it
You have to confront the reality


Everything I think, everything I say
Every thought and word I have


Everything I did, pushing you away
My actions have been causing distance between us


In my feelings on a Sunday morning
My emotions are overwhelming on a Sunday morning


I just can't explain all the fucking pain
I struggle to articulate the intense pain I feel


All the time you take up in my head
You occupy a lot of my thoughts


All the nights we stayed up in my bed
The nights we spent together in my bed


Thinking that I love but it's not true
Believing I am in love, but it isn't genuine


Everything I do, I do about you
All my actions revolve around you


I wish that we could fly away
I yearn for us to escape


Fly away like paper planes
To depart like paper planes soaring in the sky


I just wanna get away
I simply want to escape


In my head
Within my thoughts


All about, all about you
Everything is centered around you


It's all about you when I can't sleep
You are all I think about when I can't sleep


It's all about you in my bad dreams
You haunt my nightmares, it's all about you


It's all about when I'm wasted
When I'm intoxicated, it's all about you


It's all about you in these late nights
During the late nights, it's all about you


Saying too much when we drunk fight
During our drunken arguments, I say too much


It's all about you in these love songs
In all these love songs, it's all about you


I wish that we could fly away
I desperately desire for us to escape


Fly away, fly away
Let's flee from here, let's fly away


It's all about you when I can't sleep
You consume my thoughts when I can't sleep


It's all about you in my bad dreams
Even in my nightmares, it's all about you


It's all about when I'm wasted
When I'm intoxicated, it's all about you


It's all about you in these late nights
Throughout the late nights, it's all about you


Saying too much when we drunk fight
During our drunken arguments, we say too much


It's all about you in these love songs
In all these love songs, it's all about you


I wish that we could fly away
I yearn for us to escape


Fly away, fly away
Let's flee from here, let's fly away


I wish that we could fly away
I long for us to escape


Fly away like paper planes
To depart like paper planes soaring through the air


I just wanna get away
I simply want to escape


Fly away, fly away
Let's fly away, let's escape
