We All
Joon Wolfsberg Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know there's something deep inside
You know there's something that you hide
So please let it out, set it free
Don't live your life down on your knees

You don't have to explain
You don't have to justify
So I tell you it's not a shame
Give me a contended smile

You know, and I know
And we all know what we're looking for
You know, and I know. And we all know what we're searching for
You know, and I know. And we all know what we're looking for
You know, and I know. And we all know what we're searching for

I know it's easy to say
You're a part of it all... and not alone
So show me your pride
Tell me where you belong to

You know, and I know. And we all know what we're looking for
You know, and I know. And we all know what we're searching for
You know, and I know. And we all know what we're looking for
You know, and I know. And we all know what we're searching for

You know, and I know. And we all know what we're looking for
You know, and I know. And we all know what we're searching for




You know, and I know. And we all know what we're looking for
You know, and I know. And we all know what we're searching for

Overall Meaning

In "We All," Joon Wolfsberg encourages listeners to embrace and express their true selves. From the first verse, it is clear that the song urges listeners to recognize and confront the aspects of themselves that they have hidden away. The plea to "let it out" and "set it free" is a call to action, an invitation to shed the masks and facades that keep us from being our authentic selves. The following lines, "Don't live your life down on your knees / You don't have to explain / You don't have to justify," highlight the societal pressures that can push people to live inauthentically and affirm that it is acceptable to be true to oneself without having to explain or justify one's choices.


The chorus is a reminder that we are all searching for something - "what we're looking for" - and that this search is universal. By repeating that "you know, and I know," and "we all know," the song emphasizes that we are not alone in our search for meaning and connection. Additionally, the call to "show me your pride" and "tell me where you belong to" is an invitation to share one's true self with others and to connect with like-minded people.


Ultimately, "We All" is a powerful and uplifting song that celebrates individuality and encourages listeners to embrace their true selves. The call to action and the repeated refrain of "you know, and I know" reinforce the universality of human experience and remind us that we are not alone in our search for meaning and connection.
