All The Way Down
Justin Hughes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wasted my pages
I wasted my time
Had a dream I moved to a new town
Ran a little shop, selling brews for a few pound
Missed home a little bit but I needed a new sound
And you were never there, oh it was better there
Woke up, I don't know what to do now
Take your shots, you're unloading a full round
And I'll miss home a little bit but I need a new sound
And it'll be better there, it'll be better there
And I'll keep my memories all the way down
Bite my tongue when I thought you'd come round
Now I dream of moving to a new town
New town
And I'll keep my memories all the way down
Bite my tongue when I thought you'd come round
Now I dream of moving to a new town
New town, new town
Wanna skip the days
I wanna skip the wait
Wanna skip the days
I wanna skip the wait
I'm going far, far away from here
And I'm going to write a book about you
I wasted my pages
I wasted my time
Yeah, check the glow up
Wasted all my pages on a book with no love
Now I'm making more online, I'ma throw it up
And my family said JJ they gon' know ya
Million miles, uh uh, took like a million cycles
This beef we got one-sided cos I ain't got time for a rival
Spend your days looking for a motive
I spend my days on my progress
I spend my days on my writing
I cut the crap and the nonsense
You really done it now man
I do this shit for myself, I would say hope you well
I don't care now damn
Spend your days looking for a motive
I spend my days on my story
I found myself in the music
I'll talk my shit 'til I'm forty
And I'll keep my memories all the way down
Bite my tongue when I thought you'd come round
Now I dream of moving to a new town
New town
And I'll keep my memories all the way down
Bite my tongue when I thought you'd come round




Now I dream of moving to a new town
New town, new town

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Justin Hughes's song "All the Way Down" touch on themes of longing for change, personal growth, and the pursuit of dreams. The opening lines convey a sense of regret and wasted time, as the singer reflects on how they devoted their efforts to something that didn't bring them fulfillment. The dream of moving to a new town and running a small shop symbolizes the desire for a fresh start and a different path in life. While the singer acknowledges that they miss their old life to some extent, they recognize the need for a new sound, a new direction.


The refrain of "keeping memories all the way down" suggests that the singer is holding onto their past experiences and lessons, while also suppressing their emotions or desires. They bite their tongue, perhaps indicating the restraint they've had to exercise in hoping for someone's presence or a change in their circumstances. The repeated mention of dreaming about a new town further emphasizes the singer's longing for change and escape from their current situation.


The second verse introduces a shift in perspective, where the singer is determined to break free from their past and pursue their own success. They mention "wasting pages" on a book with no love, implying that they previously invested their energy on something that didn't bring the desired outcome. However, they now find success online, possibly alluding to their music career or creative endeavors taking off. The mention of family support and the belief that they will be recognized and known indicates their confidence in their own abilities.


The lyrics also emphasize the singer's focus on personal growth and self-improvement. They juxtapose their own commitment to progress, writing, and cutting out negativity with the other person's preoccupation with finding motives or reasons behind their actions. The mention of spending days on their story and finding themselves in music suggests that they have found solace and purpose in their creative expression.


Overall, "All the Way Down" captures a sense of introspection, longing for change, and determination to break free from the past. It celebrates personal growth and the pursuit of dreams, while also acknowledging the challenges and sacrifices along the journey.
