All For Love
M.D.S. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze
As season fly I knew that I was losing
Love was washed away with the driftin tide
Oh it's a dirty old shame that all you get from love is a love song
It's gotcha layin up nights waiting for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame when you got to take the blame for a love song
Because the best love song is writing with a broken heart
The future that lies before me I cannot see
Although tomorrow I know the sun is rising
Lightin' up the world for everyone, but not for me
Oh it's a dirty old shame that all you get from love is a love song
It's gotcha layin up nights waiting for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame when you got to take the blame for a love song
Because the best love song is writing with a broken heart
Oh it's a dirty old shame that all you get from love is a love song
It's gotcha layin up nights waiting for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame when you got to take the blame for a love song
Because the best love song is writing with a broken heart
Oh it's a dirty old shame that all you get from love is a love song
It's gotcha layin up nights waiting for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame when you got to take the blame for a love song
In "All for Love," M.D.S. describes the pain and disappointment that love can bring. The metaphor of a sailboat drifting aimlessly conveys the feeling of being adrift and directionless in a relationship. The initial rush of love was like a refreshing ocean breeze, but eventually, as time passes, the love fades away like the tide. The lyrics lament that all that is left after a failed relationship is a love song, a kind of cruel irony that the best music is often inspired by heartbreak.
The chorus echoes the sentiments expressed in the verses. It's a "dirty old shame" that love only leads to a love song, and that when a relationship ends, you're left "waiting for the music to start." The idea that the "best love song is written with a broken heart" suggests that true artistic inspiration comes from pain and heartache.
Overall, "All for Love" is a melancholy reflection on the ups and downs of love. It captures the disappointment of a failed relationship and the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of heartbreak and musical inspiration.
