All The Right Words
Ill Niño Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I chase every breath you take
And I'll wait
Why would I deny?
I don't have to lie
Was there something that I missed?
Well, it's not this
All you say
Is that I'm playing games, but if I stay
I'll just go crazy
Throw away
The promise that you made and understand
I just wanna touch you
I just wanna fuck you
Can I lie to you?
Like you want me to
I'll say that I'm in love with you
Can I lie to you?
Like you want me to
I'll say that I'm in love with you
You move how I want you to
You prove I belong to you
And I do
Why would I deny?
I don't have to lie
Was there something that I missed?
Well, it's not this
All you say
Is that I'm playing games, but if I stay
I'll just go crazy
Throw away
The promise that you made and understand
I just wanna touch you
I just wanna fuck you
Can I lie to you?
Like you want me to
I'll say that I'm in love with you
Can I lie to you?
Like you want me to
I'll say that I'm in love with you
But this is not how I feel
And there is nothing for real
Though I don't know you
I don't even care
But this is not how I feel
And there is nothing for real
Though I don't know you
I don't even care
But this is not how I feel
And there is nothing for real
Though I don't know you
I don't even care
I just wanna touch you
I just wanna fuck you
Can I lie to you?
Like you want me to
I'll say that I'm in love with you
Can I lie to you?
Like you want me to
I'll say that I'm in love with you
Can I lie to you?
Like you want me to
I'll say that I'm in love with you
Can I lie to you?
Like you want me to
I'll say that I love with you
The lyrics to Ill Niño's song "All the Right Words" are an exploration of the complicated emotions that come with attraction and lust. The singer is captivated by someone they want to be with intimately and waiting patiently for them to reciprocate. They justify their actions by claiming they don't have to lie or hide their desires, hinting at a mutual understanding between the two parties. However, the singer recognizes that they aren't being honest about their feelings and are only going along with the other person's expectations. Despite this, they are still consumed by the desire to be physically intimate with this person.
The chorus is the most telling part of the song, with the singer asking permission to lie in order to satisfy their desires. They know that what they are saying is not genuine, but they are willing to say whatever it takes to achieve what they want. The bridge hints at a disregard for the other person, with the repeated phrase "Though I don't know you, I don't even care." The chorus is repeated twice more, emphasizing the singer's willingness to deceive the other person for the sake of physical pleasure.
The song is a bleak portrayal of the various layers of deception involved in relationships where one person is just using the other for physical gratification. It touches on themes of power dynamics, emotional manipulation, and wanting something so desperately that you're willing to lie for it.

I do not have a deep emotional connection with you
I don't even care
I am not invested in anything beyond my own desires
