All My Life
JESSE HARRIS & THE FERDINANDOS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Think about what you said
Late in haze of night into morning
With eyes turning to red
All my life I waited to see an omen of the good kind
All my life I listened and heard the thunder as it rose behind
Don't cease to seem unreal
But with a kiss late in the darkness
I know how I used to feel
All my life I waited to see an omen of the good kind
All my life I listened and heard the thunder as it rose behind
On you and I
I don't see any reason to stay here
I don't see any way out right now
When can a smile, when will the sunshine
Not cease to seem unreal?
It's with a kiss late in the darkness
You feel how you used to feel
All my life I waited to see an omen of the good kind
All my life I listened and heard the thunder as it rose behind
On you and I
The song "All My Life" by Jesse Harris & The Ferdinandos is a reflective and introspective ballad about the longing for a positive sign, or an omen, in life. The lyrics describe the singer thinking about something someone said, likely a lover or a friend, while in the haze of night turning into morning. The singer mentions that even a smile or sunshine doesn't seem real anymore, but with a kiss in the darkness, they remember how they used to feel. The chorus repeats the sentiment of waiting for a good omen all their life while hearing the ominous thunder in the background.
The song's melancholic tone is enhanced by the somber instrumentation, including acoustic guitars, bass, drums, and piano. The arrangement is minimalistic, letting the lyrics and vocals shine through. The vocals are soft and sincere, conveying the hopelessness and desperation of the singer's situation. The song's message is relatable, as everyone has felt stuck in a rut or in need of a sign that things will get better.
Line by Line Meaning
Once in a while I think about it
Occasionally, I contemplate the matter
Think about what you said
Reflect upon your words
Late in haze of night into morning
During the blurry transition from night to day
With eyes turning to red
As my eyes tire and become irritated
All my life I waited to see an omen of the good kind
For my entire existence, I've longed for a positive sign
All my life I listened and heard the thunder as it rose behind
Throughout my life, I've heard a foreboding sound getting louder
Now even a smile, even the sunshine
Presently, even expressions of joy and sunny weather
Don't cease to seem unreal
Appearances still feel unattainable
But with a kiss late in the darkness
However, with a kiss in the late nighttime
I know how I used to feel
I recall how I felt in the past
On you and I
Regarding our relationship
I don't see any reason to stay here
I perceive no motive to remain in this situation
I don't see any way out right now
At present, I discern no solution
When can a smile, when will the sunshine
When will positive emotions and weather
Not cease to seem unreal?
Stop feeling unattainable?
It's with a kiss late in the darkness
The solution is a kiss in the late nighttime
You feel how you used to feel
It evokes the same emotion as before
All my life I waited to see an omen of the good kind
For my entire existence, I've longed for a positive sign
All my life I listened and heard the thunder as it rose behind
Throughout my life, I've heard a foreboding sound getting louder
On you and I
Regarding our relationship
