All For You
Kill Paradise Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's summertime
Break it down
Heart attack
On the same path as a dart and tack.
Hold you cause I need you there
Take it cause it's only fair
Whatcha wanna go for
Why'd you'd wanna do this
I hope that you are happy
You are only empty
Everything I do is empty without you
You're taking everything that seems so true

[Chorus]
So how do you feel now, my love
You're always in every one of us
And nobody will ever shake the way you do
Your digits are candy sin to you

I'm letting you go just like the birds
I feel like I've emptied all your words
From singles takes
To mountaintops
Liquor cakes
To lemon drops
It's all for you, it's all for you
[End of chorus]

[SHAKE! SHAKE!]
Shake it up
Shake it up
Go dip it in the water
And I hope you had enough
I see you're only instinct
You're only on the outside
Burning is my hobby
And dying is my pastime

You're recreated
So don't get motivated
Your changing is outdated
And you're just overrated
I'll keep you captivated
Just watch me
So truly underrated
Just touch me

[Chorus]

Let's go! Ha Ha Ha Ha
You know you are the best [best]
It's shaking inside your chest [chest, chest, chest]
Closure just outweighs the rest

So why [why]
Why is it I will bury a tree
When you left without hope
And imprisoning me
With everything that a teacher can see
Realize that hope that will bring you to me [to me, to me]

From trenches to glory [to glory]
Oh baby that is the story [story]
You know that this could get gory
Gory, it's only, you've got it, it's morning
(ah ah ah ah ah ah)





[Chorus] x2

Overall Meaning

The Kill Paradise song "All For You" seems to be a love song with a tinge of bitterness. The singer seems to have given their all to someone who has left them empty, and is left to wonder why they did it. The lyrics "Everything I do is empty without you, You're taking everything that seems so true" express this feeling, as the singer acknowledges that despite their best efforts, they feel hollow without the person they loved. The chorus suggests that this person, despite their departure, is still a part of the singer's life and the lives of those around them. The line "You're always in every one of us, And nobody will ever shake the way you do" suggests that this person had a profound effect on everyone they knew and that the singer cannot shake their memory.


The second verse takes a bitter turn, with the singer accusing the other person of being "overrated" and "outdated." The lyrics "Your changing is outdated, And you're just overrated, I'll keep you captivated, Just watch me, So truly underrated, Just touch me" suggest that the singer now sees the other person as a fickle, superficial creature that they can easily control. However, the singer seems to be craving the other person's attention, as indicated by the lines "Just touch me" and "I'll keep you captivated." The song ends with what seems to be an attempt at moving on, with the singing claiming that they will "bury a tree" and move on from the other person.
