All For You
Ke$ha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think that love is beyond your control
And the most basic thing which is dangerous in you
Is the possibility of love
Because if you are possessed by love
You can go even against the whole world

Everything gets so chaotic sometimes
I've been so caught up in my own shit
Tell me that you'll live forever
'Cause I've taken years for granted
And it always feels like the first time
But now the greys are starting to show
Your love might break my heart harder than being alone

Oh, I'm falling through the galaxy, your hand's always in mine
All my dreams have come and gone a half a million times
I don't need much, but there's one thing I can't lose
All I need is you

I can have all of the cocaine and the pills at every party
But who's the one that's gonna care if I can make it home?
I can be the soundtrack and the punchline to the story
But you know parts of me nobody else will ever know
Oh, how do I even imagine describing life without the sun?
How do some things seem to end just after they've begun?

Falling through the galaxy, your hand's always in mine
All my dreams have come and gone a half a million times




I don't need much, but there but there's one thing I can't lose
All I need is you

Overall Meaning

In the first verse, the lyrics reflect on the uncontrollable nature of love and the potential dangers that come with it. The idea that love has the power to possess someone and make them go against the whole world suggests that love can transcend rationality and logic. It highlights the intoxicating and all-consuming nature of love, emphasizing that it can be both thrilling and perilous.


The second verse delves into the personal struggles and chaos in the singer's life. They admit being caught up in their own problems and taking things for granted. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and a desire for reassurance from their loved one, asking them to promise to be with them forever. The mention of the greys starting to show suggests a revelation that time is passing, and the relationship may be changing. There's a fear expressed that the love they feel may eventually hurt them more than being alone.


The chorus reinforces the deep connection and dependency the singer feels for their partner. Falling through the galaxy and holding hands symbolizes the sense of adventure and companionship they experience together. The repetition of dreams coming and going hints at a cyclical nature of life and relationships. Despite not needing much, the singer emphasizes that they can't bear to lose their beloved.


The final verse explores the singer's awareness of their own destructive behavior. They acknowledge that they can indulge in substances and become the life of the party, but ultimately question who would care if they made it back home safely. This suggests a longing for someone who truly cares about their well-being beyond the superficial party atmosphere. The lyrics allude to hidden parts of themselves that only their partner knows, showcasing the deep intimacy and trust in their relationship.


The final lines express the difficulty in imagining life without the love they have encountered. The mention of the sun represents warmth, light, and happiness, indicating that life without their partner would be bleak and empty. The lyrics convey a sense of astonishment at how some experiences seem to end abruptly just as they have begun, perhaps suggesting the fragility of relationships and the unpredictability of life.


Overall, the song "All For You" portrays the intense emotions and vulnerabilities that come with love. It delves into the unpredictable and consuming nature of love, highlighting the importance of having someone who truly cares and supports you. The lyrics explore the fear of losing that special person and the profound impact they have on one's life.

But who will truly be concerned about my well-being and ensure I safely return?


I can be the soundtrack and the punchline to the story
I can play a significant role and provide entertainment in people's lives


But you know parts of me nobody else will ever know
But only you are privy to certain aspects of my true self


Oh, how do I even imagine describing life without the sun?
How can I begin to fathom a life without your presence?


How do some things seem to end just after they've begun?
Why do certain things abruptly terminate shortly after their inception?
