All at Once
Laura Pausini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I finally took a moment and I'm realizing that
Your not coming back
And it finally hit me
All at once
All at once
I started counting teardrops and at least a million fell
And all my dreams were shattered
All at once
Ever since I met you
You're the only love I've known
And I can't forget you
So I must face it all alone
Chorus:
All at once
I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Wishing you'd come back to me
And that's all that matters now
All at once
I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Holding on to memories
And it hurts me more than you know
So much more than it shows
All at once
All at once,
I looked around and found that you were with another love
In someone else's arms
And all my dreams were shattered
All at once
All at once
The smile that used to greet me brightened someone else's day
She took your smile away
And left me with just memories
All at once
Ever since I met you
You're the only love I've known
And I can't forget you
So I must face it all alone
Chorus:
All at once
I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Wishing you'd come back to me
And that's all that matters now
All at once
I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Holding on to memories
And it hurts me more than you know
So much more than it shows
All at once
Laura Pausini's song "All at once" talks about the pain and heartbreak of losing a loved one. The lyrics describe the moment when the realization hits that the person is not coming back, and the grief that follows. The singer begins to count teardrops and the feelings become overwhelming all at once.
The chorus repeats the idea of the singer drifting on a lonely sea, holding onto memories and experiencing pain that is often hidden or not visible to others. The memories of the past love are all that matters now. The pain of losing the person is so much more than what can be portrayed on the surface.
The second verse adds more grief to the story. The singer finds out that the person is with another love, shattering all of their dreams. The smile that used to greet them is now bringing joy to someone else. Again, the singer emphasizes that this pain is felt much more deeply than what the outer appearances may show. The song's overall message is the overwhelming pain of a love lost and having to face it all alone.
Line by Line Meaning
All at once,
Suddenly and unexpectedly,
I finally took a moment and I'm realizing that
After taking some time to think, I am realizing that
Your not coming back
You will not be returning to me
And it finally hit me
It dawned on me and I finally understood
All at once
Suddenly and unexpectedly once again
I started counting teardrops and at least a million fell
I was crying uncontrollably and many tears were shed
My eyes began to swell
My eyes got puffy due to crying
And all my dreams were shattered
All the dreams I had regarding us were destroyed
All at once
Suddenly and unexpectedly yet again
Ever since I met you
From the moment I met you
You're the only love I've known
You are the only person I have ever loved
And I can't forget you
I cannot forget about you
So I must face it all alone
I have to accept this situation on my own
All at once
Suddenly and unexpectedly for the final time
I looked around and found that you were with another love
I realized that you were with someone else
In someone else's arms
You were in the embrace of another person
The smile that used to greet me brightened someone else's day
The same smile that used to make me happy brought joy to another person
She took your smile away
She took your smile from me
And left me with just memories
All I have now are the memories of us
All at once
For the final time, unexpectedly
Chorus:
The repeating part of the song
I'm drifting on a lonely sea
I feel like I'm lost in my loneliness
Wishing you'd come back to me
I desire for you to return to me
And that's all that matters now
This is the only thing that is important to me at the moment
Holding on to memories
I am keeping our memories close to me
And it hurts me more than you know
This situation is causing me immense pain that you cannot comprehend
So much more than it shows
It affects me more deeply than it appears to others
All at once
For the final time, suddenly and unexpectedly

@persik22800
And what if I never kiss your lips again
Or feel the touch of your sweet embrace
How would I ever go on
Without you there's no place to belong
Well, someday love is gonna lead you back to me
But 'till it does I'll have an empty heart
So I'll just have to believe
Somewhere out there you're thinking of me
'Til the day I let you go
'Til we say our next hello
It's not good-bye
'Til I see you again
I'll be right here rememberin' when
And if time is on our side
There will be no tears to cry
On down the road
There is one thing I can't deny
It's not good-bye
You'd think I'd be strong enough to make it through
And rise above when the rain falls down
But it's so hard to be strong
When you've been missin' somebody so long
It's just a matter of time I'm sure
But time takes time and I can't hold on
So won't you try as hard as you can
To put my broken heart together again
'Til the day I let you go
'Til we say our next hello
It's not good-bye
'Til I see you again
I'll be right here rememberin' when
And if time is on our side
There will be no tears to cry
On down the road
There is one thing I can't deny
It's not good-bye
Yeah!
It's not good-bye
'Til the day I let you go
Until we say our next hello
It's not good-bye
'Til I see you again
I'll be right here rememberin' when
And if time is on our side
There will be no tears to cry
On down the road
And I can't deny it's not good-bye
'Til the day I let you go
'Til we say our next hello
It's not good-bye
'Til I see you...
I'll be right here rememberin' when
And if time is on our side
There will be no tears to cry
On down the road
And I can't deny (It's not good-bye)
It's not good-bye
Good-bye
No more tears to cry...
