All That You Know
Lee Mead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your moon and your stars look the same.
You wanna change how you visualise?
Just open your eyes.
Each day is the same.
The deja vu drives you insane.
Feel like you're drowning in compromise?
All that you,
All that you know.
Say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye to
All that you,
All that you found wrong.
Say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye to
All you know.
When you were a child,
The littlest things made you smile.
Hard as you try, You only get that high
Just once in a while.
There's no-one to blame,
It's just there's something inside you that's changed.
Feel like you don't wanna hide no more.
Stand out in the rain, rain, rain, rain...
All that you,
All that you know.
Say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye to
All that you,
All that you found wrong.
Say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye to
All you know.
There's no such thing as change
Without a little sacrifice.
You open one door, then you
Close another door behind.
(So say your, say your goodbyes to...)
All that you,
All that you know.
Say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye to
All that you,
All that you found wrong.
Say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye to
All you know.
You know...
The song "All That You Know" by Lee Mead talks about the feeling of being stuck and stagnant in life, and the struggle to break out of that routine. The lyrics suggest that although everything may appear to be the same, there is always the possibility for change if one is willing to open their mind and take a different approach. The chorus highlights the idea of letting go of what has been holding you back and moving towards something new.
The first verse describes the feeling of being stuck in a pattern, where each day feels like the same monotonous routine, and nothing seems to change. The lyrics encourage the listener to open their eyes and change their perspective, to see things in a different light. The second verse speaks to the idea that as we grow older, we lose that childlike wonder and joy, and things that used to bring us happiness no longer have the same effect. The song encourages us to take risks and try new things, even if it means saying goodbye to what we've always known.
The bridge of the song speaks to the idea that change comes with sacrifice and that in order to move forward, we must let go of what is holding us back. The song concludes with the repetition of the chorus, reinforcing the message that in order to break free from our routines, we must be willing to let go of the past and embrace the unknown.
