Symphony
Joe Moore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
Got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright
My head's underwater
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh
How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing in my head for you
My head's underwater
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh
Give me all of you
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard
Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you
I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, ohh
The song "All of Me" by John Legend is a love song about a person who is deeply in love with their partner, flaws and all. The first set of lyrics paints a picture of a strong attraction towards a partner with a "smart mouth." Although the partner has her flaws, the main character is clearly enamored with them, experiencing dizziness and disorientation around them. The chorus is a declaration of love, acceptance, and mutual affection despite the imperfections of their relationship. The second verse is a love letter, conveying a message of support and love during difficult times. The character is present through both the hard and good times and celebrates the partner's imperfections. The bridge sets the stage for the acceptance of each other fully, even as the entire relationship is a risky, emotional roll of the dice.
The music provides an emotional landscape for the lyrics to grow on. With a powerful, up and down melody, the chorus rises and falls, providing each phrase with an emotional punch. The piano adds depth, guiding the listener through the complex sentiments. The melody also touches on some classic soul music reminiscent of the greats like Aretha Franklin and Bobby Womack.
