안정적이라는 말이 더 불안해져
쉬운 길이 과연 어떤 건지
맞는 게 뭔지 몰라 헤매고 있어
언젠가 엄마와 아빠처럼 사랑에 빠지고
원한 걸 다 갖게 돼도
더 바라는 게 늘어나 불안할 것만 같아
The greatest (oh-yeah, oh-yeah)
The greatest (oh-yeah, oh-yeah)
어른이 되는 건 때론 어려울지 몰라
뻔한 듯 흘러가지 (I know like that)
그 시간마저 greatest
그럼 결국
The greatest (oh-yeah, oh-yeah)
The greatest (oh-yeah, oh-yeah)
I made up my mind
지금 내 모습과 마음이 영원할 순 없겠지만
Say (say), you're the greatest of all time
아직은 몰라
철없을지도
상상했던 모습과 조금은 다르지만 oh
겨우 시간이 흘러가면 바뀔 것 같았지
The greatest (oh-yeah, oh-yeah)
The greatest (oh-yeah, oh-yeah)
어른이 되는 건 때론 어려울지 몰라
뻔한 듯 흘러가지 (I know like that)
그 시간마저 greatest
그럼 결국
The greatest (oh-yeah, oh-yeah)
The greatest (oh-yeah, oh-yeah)
I made up my mind
지금 내 모습과 마음이 영원할 순 없겠지만
Say (say), you're the greatest of all time
때론 숨넘어갈 듯 웃고
The lobster 한 편에 울기도 하고
지금과 달라질 모습은 없어
뭐가 필요하겠어
겨우 시간쯤 흘러가도 여기서 만나자
The greatest (oh-yeah, oh-yeah)
The greatest (oh-yeah, oh-yeah)
어른이 되는 건 때론 무서울지 몰라
내일이 아닌 오늘 (I know like that)
숨 쉬는 것만 같아
늘 이대로
The greatest (oh-yeah, oh-yeah)
The greatest (oh-yeah, oh-yeah)
I made up my mind
내가 있는 모든 순간 비춰지는 모든 장면 속

The lyrics of Keys and Krates' song "All the Time" talk about the fear and uncertainty that comes with growing up. The first verse expresses the fear of getting older and becoming stable, as the idea of stability itself becomes unsettling. The lyrics reflect the confusion of not knowing what the easy path truly entails and questioning what is right.
The second verse explores the idea of falling in love like one's parents and gaining everything desired, yet still feeling unsatisfied and anxious. It raises the question of whether becoming an adult simply means that time has passed or if there is more to it.
The chorus emphasizes the notion that becoming an adult can be challenging and uncertain at times. It mentions the passing of time and how even that can be considered the "greatest" or most significant aspect of growing up. The lyrics suggest that despite the uncertainties, the decision has been made to accept the present circumstances and acknowledge someone as being the greatest of all time.
The bridge talks about the unknown, specifically not knowing whether one is naive or if the imagined future differs from reality. It reflects the hope that as time passes, things will change and transform into what was envisioned.
Overall, the song captures the anxiety, confusion, and hope that come with adulthood, emphasizing the concept of time and its significance in the process of growing up.

There are no skips in this album, and Key’s stage presence keeps growing even at this point in his career. When Taemin comes back stage hungry in a few months, we really won’t know what hit us with the SHINee comeback, I feel like everyone has grown so much as a soloist that the teamwork will only bloom further.

Agreed, Key’s music is exactly my taste. I can’t skip any songs, not to mention top notch performances. With the fact that he’s got such a charisma about him. He’s undeniable for sure. Each member has shown their colors with their artistry. Together or apart, Shinee has continued to immense growth. And to think they have so much more to do. They always leave me anticipated in terms of what they’ll do next. With Taemin returning, who knows what he’s got in store for us with that incredible mind of his. There’s something he’s ready to share with us. Then of course, with Shinee making their grand return. We’re in for a true awakening.
