All Your Promise
Jesse Marchant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ended on your ass, alone
Counting days to the fair
You can go with
A friend that you lost
Then you'd feel the heat
Sitting near the fire
Now when you're flying over water
That you were denied
Of your reason, all your promise
Hold me, for just once
Without any address
Of failed form
Life's thorn in my chest
Even if it's real
Even when I'm lost
I am on your side
I belong to you
You belong to your faults
To your reasons and to the times
Drowning in your ocean of love
Tied to you, a stake in your flood
Still all your brightness of form
Shone under light it gets pale
I would have stayed in your arms
If you could ever get there
The lyrics of Jesse Marchant's song "All Your Promise" convey a sense of loneliness, regret, and loss. The opening lines "You leaned too far back, Ended on your ass, alone" give a picture of a person who made mistakes and ended up suffering the consequences of their actions. The line "Counting days to the fair, You can go with a friend that you lost" suggests a longing for a time when the person had a friend close by and a companion to share moments of joy with.
The lines "Now when you're flying over water, Tell me do you ever feel, That you were denied, Of your reason, all your promise" create a feeling of longing for something that is unattainable. The phrase "all your promise" suggests that the person had great potential that was never realized or that they failed to live up to their own expectations.
The chorus, "Hold me, for just once, Without any address, Of failed form, Life's thorn in my chest" is a plea for comfort and support in a world full of disappointment and failure. The lines "I belong to you, You belong to your faults, To your reasons and to the times" suggest that despite the mistakes and regrets, there is still a connection between the two people, and they are bound together by their past, present, and future.
Overall, the song combines beautiful melodies with evocative lyrics to explore complex human emotions.
