All the Time
Letters of Transit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am angry all the time
Can we start from the ending
I’m beginning to unwind
To hell with compassion
Let it all just fall apart
Paint the scene, plant the sound
Forge ahead without a heart
Scream, with conviction
While it all comes undone
Who was left, who was right
Let it die to win the fight
And I'll say
If I am the light
And you are the sound
Who is the voice of reason
If I am the light
And you are the sound
Who is the voice of reason now
I, I am tired
I am tired all the time
Are we close to the ending
Is there any kind of sign
So let's talk, maybe listen
Take a minute to review
What’s been said, what’s been done
How we start again renewed
And I'll say
If I am the light
And you are the sound
Who is the voice of reason
If I am the light
And you are the sound
Who is the voice of reason now
I’m restless for a new idea
Something that reduces fear
Something that establishes a line
I’m hopeful for a better year
One that takes us far from here
One that starts bridge this dumb divide
I’m bullish on a new frontier
That helps us start to mend
If I am the light
And you are the sound
Who is the voice of reason
If I am the light
And you are the sound
Who is the voice of reason now?
The lyrics to Letters of Transit's song "All the Time" express feelings of anger, exhaustion, frustration, and hope for a new beginning. The singer is both angry and tired "all the time" and is considering the possibility of starting fresh and "unwinding" from the current state of chaos. The idea of compassion is dismissed in favor of just letting everything "fall apart". The singer wants to "paint the scene" and "plant the sound", moving forward with conviction, regardless of the state of their heart. The fight for what is right is more important than caring about who was left or right.
The song then poses a question about reason and rationality, asking who the "voice of reason" is if the singer is the light and the other person is the sound. The repetition of this question suggests the importance of reason and rationality in solving the problems and conflicts that are causing the singer to feel angry and exhausted.
The song ends with a call for change, for a "new idea" that can "reduce fear" and "establish a line" to bridge the divide that exists. The singer is "hopeful for a better year" and "bullish on a new frontier" that can help mend the problems that currently exist. The repeated question about the voice of reason suggests that reason is key to making this happen.
