All Or Nothing
Fighting Instinct Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sitting on a fence your heart can feel the warmth of the one who pulled you out of the cold
Trying to walk the line, you don't know which way to go but your about to loose your hold
Which way to fall to the wrong or to the right
Jump to one side or fall in to the night.

It's all or nothing
But there's always something
Walking down life's road things try to hinder you at every turn
What don't kill you makes you stronger but how far will you go just to learn
Your closer to the edge now but this is the very snare
You've got to push through now remembering he's still there

It's all or nothing
But there's always something
It's all or nothing
But there's always something

Holding you back, no you won't fall
But you can't break through




If you don't give your all
I'ts all or nothing

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fighting Instinct's song All Or Nothing depict a person who is struggling to make a decision about their life's direction. The first stanza paints the image of someone who is on the fence, unsure of which path to take. They have been brought out of a cold and dark place by someone or something, but they are still lost and at a crossroads. The lines "Which way to fall to the wrong or to the right/Jump to one side or fall into the night" show the inner turmoil and fear of making the wrong decision that the person is experiencing.


The second stanza continues with the theme of life's challenges and obstacles. The lyrics highlight the idea that the struggles we face in life are what make us stronger, but it's difficult to push through the toughest moments. The lines "Your closer to the edge now but this is the very snare/You've got to push through now remembering he's still there" can be interpreted as a reminder to the person that the same person or thing that pulled them out of the cold is still there to support them through the difficult times. The chorus repeats the phrase "It's all or nothing," which emphasizes the stakes of the decision the person is making. However, there is also hope in the lyrics with the line "But there's always something," suggesting that even if they make the "wrong" choice, there will still be something gained from the experience.


Overall, Fighting Instinct's All Or Nothing is a song that deals with the struggle of decision-making and the fear of failure that can come with it. The lyrics provide perspective on the idea that every choice we make will have consequences, but we must push through the difficult moments and remember that even if we fail, there is always something to be learned or gained.
