Everything is all
F.A.K.E Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe it was to learn how to leave
Or maybe it was for the games we played
Maybe it was to learn how to choose
Maybe it was to learn how to lose
Or maybe it was for the love we made
Love was everything they said it would be
But love forgot to make me too blind to see
You're chickening out, aren't you?
You're bangin' on the beach like an old tin drum
I can't wait for you to make the whole kingdom come
So I'm leaving
Maybe it was to learn how to fight
Maybe it was to lessen our pride
Maybe it's just nature's way
Maybe it was to learn how to lie
Maybe it was to learn to cry
Maybe it was for the love we made
Love was everything they said that it would be
Love made sweet and sad the same
And love forgot to make me too blind to see
You're chickening out aren't you?
You're bangin' on the beach like an old tin drum
I can't wait for you to make the whole kingdom come
So I'm leaving
First I turns to you
Then I turn away
So you try to hurt me back
Oh, it breaks your body down
So you try to love bigger
Better still
But it, it's too late
So take a lesson from the strangeness you feel
And know you'll never be the same
And find it in your heart to kneel down and say
I gave my love, didn't I?
And I gave it big, sometimes
And I gave it in my own sweet time
I'm just leaving
I'm just leaving
The lyrics to F.A.K.E's song Everything is about the different lessons that one may learn in a relationship. The song suggests that perhaps one enters a relationship to learn how to love, how to leave, how to choose, and how to lose. The lyrics also hint that maybe we enter a relationship to learn how to fight, to lessen our pride, and to learn how to cry. The song suggests that whatever the reason for entering into a relationship, we ultimately learn a lot from it, and it changes us.
The chorus talks about how love is everything that people say it is, that it can be both sweet and sad at the same time. However, the singer reveals that love forgot to make them too blind to see, and they can see that their partner is "chickening out" and not fully committed to the relationship. The singer then decides to leave and wait for their partner to "make the whole kingdom come" before they commit.
The final verse talks about the back-and-forth of a failing relationship. The singer turns away from their partner, and the partner tries to hurt them in return. The singer suggests that trying to love bigger or better doesn't work, and it is too late for the relationship. The singer advises the listener to take a lesson from the strangeness they feel, acknowledging that they will never be the same again. The song ends with the singer saying that they gave their love in their own time and are now leaving.

I did love wholeheartedly, didn't I?
And I gave it big, sometimes
And at times, I gave it everything I had
And I gave it in my own sweet time
And I gave it on my own schedule
I'm just leaving
I'm simply heading out

I'm always blown away by how few views Regurgitator vids have. These guys need a new PR agency...

@Theophilus Thistler I dunno man, I remember reading an interview not too long ago where Quan mentions he wish he’d been better with money back in the day.
Theophilus Thistler
The weee as frugal as can be and it seemed to work oit for them i the long run.
I do wanna see Quan & Ben reunite for at least a tongue in cheek reunion acoustic shows soon though.

I love how the band became so incredibly cut in their middle age.

The visuals for this track at their live show was so cool, 3D animated animals with sharp teeth biting to the bass, wish I could see it again :-D
