All In
Gabriella Gibboni Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Count to ten
Stakes are high
Bets are in
Poker face burning thin
Ashes to ashes
Now here i go falling again
(Ooh ohh ohh)
(Ooh ohh ohh)
No I can't fucking win, no I'll never win.
Strung me alive
Pulling me thin
Cutting me loose
And then dragging me in and I'm done
Chasing you around
Baby step up or baby back down but right now
I'm giving in, I guess I'm all in.
The lyrics of Gabriella Gibboni's song "All In" explore the theme of taking risks in love, with the singer admitting to being willing to take a chance despite the potential for heartbreak. The song begins with the singer taking a moment to catch her breath and compose herself, almost as if preparing for battle. She then acknowledges that the stakes are high and the game is on, likening her emotional state to a game of poker. The metaphor of her "poker face burning thin" suggests that she is struggling to hide her true feelings and maintain her cool facade.
As the song progresses, the singer admits to falling for the object of her affection, despite the odds being against them. She acknowledges that they may never win and that she is unlikely to come out on top. However, she can't resist the pull of their connection and continues to pursue the relationship. The line "Strung me alive, pulling me thin, cutting me loose and then dragging me in" suggests that the singer is being emotionally manipulated by her partner, but that she is willing to put up with it in order to be with them.
Overall, "All In" is a powerful ode to the risks we take in love and the emotional turmoil that can come with it. The lyrics are raw and honest, with the singer baring her soul and revealing her vulnerabilities. The song is a poignant reminder that sometimes it's worth taking a chance, even if the outcome is uncertain.
