All The Same
Future Generations Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To play your games
Once more I lose
All the same
And I've come to realize how
I tell the truth
You haven't changed
Love breaks the tame
But I swear it's true
I know it's all the same
I saw you today
Heartbreak on your face
Won't someone remind me
Don't ever come back
While my heart's still intact
I'll hide till you find me
I followed you
Into the depths
The basement wreaked
Of old cigarettes
And I warned you girl
That we are all the same
Tell me the truth
One last time
Did you feel my heart
And ignore my cry
You've got to know that
It hurts me all the same
I don't know
Cause I got you on my mind
Yeah I got you on my mind
I saw you today
Heartbreak on your face
Won't someone remind me
Don't ever come back
While my heart's still intact
I'll hide till you find me
"All The Same" is a melancholy song that talks about the struggles of coming to terms with someone's true intentions in a relationship. The first verse portrays a feeling of frustration towards a partner who seems to be playing games, causing the singer to always end up losing. The phrase "All the same" implies a sense of resignation, as if the singer has become used to being the one who suffers in the relationship, without feeling as though there is a way out.
The second verse describes an encounter with this partner, who the singer sees displayed on their face the same heartbreak they themselves have experienced before. The sense of repeating the same things over and over again becomes prominent in the lyrics, as the singer urges themselves to stay away from this person, but seems incapable of doing so. The chorus repeats that phrase "All the same," as if to remind the singer that no matter what they do, they keep ending up back in this cycle.
The bridge delves deeper into the vulnerability of the singer, describing a scenario where they followed their partner into a dark, lingering basement full of old cigarette smoke. Despite warning their partner about the dangers of the situation, the singer is ignored, and the same cycle begins once again. The final verse encapsulates a plea from the singer that they cannot continue enduring this pain, where the unrequited love hurts them all the same.

I shouldn't choose
I don't want to choose
To play your games
To be a part of your manipulation tactics
Once more I lose
I know I'm going to lose again
All the same
All of this feels familiar and predictable
And I've come to realize how
And I've realized
I tell the truth
I'm honest with myself
You haven't changed
You're still the same, you haven't grown
Love breaks the tame
Love breaks free from normality and expectations
And you hold the cane
And you hold the power in the relationship
But I swear it's true
But I promise this is true
I know it's all the same
I know this cycle will repeat itself
I saw you today
I saw you earlier
Heartbreak on your face
You looked heartbroken
Won't someone remind me
I need someone to remind me
Don't ever come back
Don't come back
While my heart's still intact
While my heart is still whole
I'll hide till you find me
I'll stay hidden until you find me
I followed you
I went after you
Into the depths
Into a deep place
The basement wreaked
The basement had a strong odor
Of old cigarettes
Of old cigarette smoke
And I warned you girl
And I cautioned you
That we are all the same
We're all susceptible to making similar mistakes
Tell me the truth
Be honest with me
One last time
For the final time
Did you feel my heart
Did you understand my emotions
And ignore my cry
And ignore my plea for help
You've got to know that
You need to understand that
It hurts me all the same
It still causes me pain
I don't know
I'm uncertain
Cause I got you on my mind
Because you're on my mind
Yeah I got you on my mind
Yes, you're still on my mind
