All You Deliver
José Gonzalez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll see it all clear
How steep the fall is
How long the way back is
On the verge of success
It's all white and fluffy
Horizons are blurred
By the time you reach your goal
To the point where you'll lose track of your soul
Distorted pictures is all you deliver
The lyrics of José Gonzalez's song "All You Deliver" are full of insightful commentary on success, failure, and the sometimes perilous paths in between. The song explores the stark contrast between the perceptions of success and failure, illustrating how these opposites can be equally challenging to navigate.
The opening lines, "On the verge of ruin, you'll see it all clear," suggests that sometimes it takes the brink of failure to truly understand the gravity of a situation. When you are at the brink of losing everything, the fall becomes clear, and the journey back up seems daunting. On the other hand, when you achieve success, everything appears "white and fluffy," and your goal seems easy to reach. But success comes with its own set of pitfalls, as you risk losing yourself in the process, with "tongues twisted to the point where you'll lose track of your soul."
The last line of the song, "Distorted pictures is all you deliver," highlights the notion that our perceptions of success and failure are often misguided. Regardless of the outcome, the road traveled is never as straightforward as it may seem. In conclusion, José Gonzalez's "All You Deliver" is a deep and thought-provoking exploration of the journeys we take to achieve our goals.
