All About Us
Javine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That Was Needed To Make Me Happy But I Was So Wrong
I Did Not Realise That Money Could Not Buy Completeness
Something Was Missing
Then You Stepped Into My Life
And You Made My Whole World Right
And You Shone A Positive Light Onto Everything I See
[Chorus:]
Its All About Me
Its All About You
Its All About Late At Night When We Hold On Tight And Wot Were Gonna Do
Its All About Me
Its All About You
Cuz I've Found Out Wot Its All About
Its All About Us
Its All About Us
So Long I Chased A Dream
I Thought All Thati Needed Money Could Buy
Cuz I Grew Up In A Material World
It Took Some Time To See Thru And Find You
Then You Stepped Into My Life
And You Made My Whole World Right
And You Shone A Positive Light Onto Everything I See
[Chorus]
All The Hope, All The Fear Thru Every Year
All The Joy, All The Pain Thru Every Tear
We'll Be Strong, We'll Be Here Thru Every Year
We're Gonna Get Thru
Cos There Aint No Doubt Now We Found
Out Wot Its All About
[Chorus: Till End]
The lyrics to Javine's song All About Us tell a story of personal growth and realization. The opening lines reveal that the singer, like many people, believed that material possessions were the key to happiness. She thought that she could buy everything that she needed to feel complete, but she soon realized that something was still missing from her life. This realization leads her to the second verse, where she explains that she had been chasing a dream that she believed could only be achieved through money.
However, the chorus turns the focus away from the individual and towards a relationship. The singer asserts that "It's all about me" and "It's all about you", but ultimately concludes that "It's all about us". This line implies that the connection between two people is what truly matters, not material possessions or individual desires. The final verse reinforces this idea, as the singer declares that she and her partner will face challenges together and emerge stronger.
Overall, the message of All About Us is one of personal growth and the importance of meaningful connections with others. The singer's realization that money cannot buy happiness is a common theme in pop music, but Javine's focus on the importance of relationships adds depth and nuance to the idea.
