All Of You
Fiel Garvie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stumbling down the hill
Lurching up your steps
Reaching for
Seeing you through the hole
You let me in.
I carried in my life
Had to come to sit with you in your
Dirty but nice English home
So full of things except
The way forward.
Most of all I don't miss
Your two black holes
Most of all I don't miss
Your empty face
Most of all I don't miss
The disappointing emptiness.
The only thing I miss
Is all of you.
In Fiel Garvie's song "All of You," the lyrics describe the journey to a loved one's home. The singer describes stumbling down a hill and lurching up steps before arriving and seeing their love interest through a hole. The imagery creates a feeling of anticipation and excitement for the singer as they finally reach their destination.
Once inside, the singer reflects on their life and the distance they had to travel to be with their love interest. They mention that despite all the things in their partner's English home, the way forward is unclear. This could be a reference to the uncertainty of their relationship or their future plans.
However, what the singer misses most about their partner is "all of you." The repetition of this phrase emphasizes the importance of their partner's presence and suggests that they bring fulfillment to the singer's life. In contrast, the negative imagery used to describe their partner's black holes, empty face, and disappointing emptiness highlights the impact their absence has.
Overall, "All of You" is a poignant reflection on the complexity of love and relationships. The lyrics convey a mix of emotions, from excitement and anticipation to uncertainty and disappointment. Through vivid imagery and repetition, Fiel Garvie has created a powerful portrayal of the singer's love and longing for their partner.

Getting to your house
Navigating my way to your place
Stumbling down the hill
Tripping and staggering down the steep slope
Lurching up your steps
Heavy and unsteady climb up your staircase
Reaching for
Desperate attempt to connect with you
Seeing you through the hole
Spotting you through the gap
You let me in.
You granted me access to your space
I carried in my life
I brought all my experiences and baggage with me
You never asked how far I
You didn't inquire about the distance I travelled
Had to come to sit with you in your
Had to endure the journey just to spend time with you in your
Dirty but nice English home
Comfortable but untidy dwelling in England
So full of things except
Your place was filled with numerous items but lacked
The way forward.
A clear direction for my life
Most of all I don't miss
Above all, there isn't anything I long for
Your two black holes
The twin voids within you
Most of all I don't miss
Above all, there isn't anything I yearn for
Your empty face
Your blank facial expression
Most of all I don't miss
Above all, there isn't anything I ache for
The disappointing emptiness.
The unfulfilling vacancy of our relationship
The only thing I miss
The sole aspect I crave
Is all of you.
Is the entirety of you, flaws and all.
