All Or Nothing
Hit the Lights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you'll never know how much you mean to me
Until you put me in the ground
Until my body is found
Until the day i'm buried
You'll find me at the end of my rope
Hanging on your every word
Of getting hung up on girls like you
Don't let me let you go
Don't leave me here all alone
Because every night i spend without you
Is like a knife held to my throat
Your eyes are the only stars i want to see
Your lips is the only air i want to breath
So please tell me that i'm asking for too much
Because there's so much of myself that i've given up
I knew your smile would mean the death of me
But i couldn't care less, no i couldn't care less
So sweet heart kills me constantly
She takes my last breath, you took my last breath
And i'll choke on my last words
The lyrics of "All Or Nothing" by Hit the Lights depict a deep and intense love that is at the brink of desperation. The singer regrets every apology they made, realizing that they did not express enough how much the person they love means to them. The lyrics foreshadow the singer's death, as they state that the person they love will only realize their love when they are buried.
The singer confesses their vulnerability, acknowledging that they have become dependent on the person they love, and every word they say holds great importance. They have become accustomed to falling for people like their love interest, and their feelings for them are genuine. The singer knows that they cannot survive without the love of their life and that even a single night without them feels like a knife to their throat.
The chorus of the song reflects the extent of the singer's infatuation. They describe the person they love as the only star they want to see and the only air they want to breathe. Even though they ask for too much, they would willingly give up everything for the love they desire. The lyrics take a melancholic turn as the singer realizes that their love is leading to their death, but they are at peace with it.
