Give It All
Foals(폴스) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give me the red light turning green
Give me the words but not the page
Give me it all
Give me the time but not an age
Give me a look but not the rage
Give me the feel for where I'll go
Give me the way it could have been
Give me the ghost that's on the screen
Give me the way but not the means
Give me it all
Give me something I haven't seen
Give me the red light turning green
Give me the words but not the page
Give me it all
I called you up
Three times last night
Running through the streets
Bloody, from a fist fight
Keep you warm
Keep you there
Wanna keep you all
See you there, wanna see you some day
As you look back, I'm pulling away
You caught the bus and I caught the train
All that remains are words in the rain
Ooooh, oooh, oooo oooooh
Ooooh, oooh, oooo oooooh
Give me the shade of a thunder cloud
Give me a good bye said out loud
Give me the day with no memories
Give me it all
I know you could be here with me
By the rain and the palm of the valley
But you're there by the tube stop in the freezing rain
See you there, wanna see you some day
As you look back, I'm pulling away
You caught the bus and I caught the train
All that remains are words in the rain, rain
Ooooh, oooh, oooo oooooh
Ooooh, oooh, oooo oooooh
So solo, I see you there
You fall like a fifty weight
The time goes
I'll be right there
I feel, I feel there's a fork in the road
Oh woah woah
Oh woah woah
In Foals' song "Give It All," the lyrics seem to be describing the desire for something more; something beyond what has been experienced before. The singer is asking for a new perspective, a new start, but not necessarily the details or the steps to get there. They want the feeling of a fresh start, a newfound freedom. The lyrics are also tinged with regret and sadness, as the singer seems to have missed an opportunity with someone they care for. There is a sense of longing and a desire to be reunited with this person, but the timing seems to be off.
At several points in the song, the lyrics discuss the idea of "giving it all" or wanting "it all." This could be interpreted as wanting complete fulfillment and satisfaction in life, in all aspects. However, the lyrics also suggest that this may not be entirely possible as the singer is grappling with the idea of missed opportunities and missed connections.
Overall, the lyrics of "Give It All" seem to be a poignant portrayal of the human desire for something new and exciting while grappling with the realization that we may never truly have it all.

They managed to perfectly illustrate how the "heartache" feels, without being cheesy for a single second. This clip is golden. This is pure perfection.

@sydious_s_snake
@@RonaldRagn he's not wrong, I cried to this a few weeks ago from seeing this, it's a very accurate illustration of the feeling, not weird at all to relate to loss of love
@pomhubnz
It’s not heartache, it’s the heartache of loving someone with whom you have a violent love. That ain’t any ordinary love. It’s toxic, it’s lethal. It’s what opera is made. Eventually the choice is either the train, or the bus, or murder. And it hurts like hell to choose the bus or the train, because you want to be in that bubble of love bombing forever…. And dying together seems romantic. But it’s an illusion… it’s narcissus and the echo. He is narcissus, she is echo.
