All the Time
MNNX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't lie, I've been thinking 'bout you all the time
Said you'd only be gone for a minute
Taking way too long with your sinning
Not saying that I want you back
Get your bags packed
Now I'm popping pills just to keep my mind on track
I could've run away
I've been doing fine without you
I can't lie, I've been thinking 'bout you all the time
I've been thinking 'bout you all the time
I've been thinking 'bout you
You said you wanna work on yourself
Working it with somebody else
I should've known the whole time
It was a damn lie
Keeping distance, fuck around
Put my life on standby
I've been doing fine without you
I can't lie, I've been thinking 'bout you all the time
(Yeah babe, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
I've been thinking 'bout you all the time
(Oh, I've been thinking 'bout you babe
Oh, yeah)
I've been thinking 'bout you
(Oh, oh, yeah, yeah
I've been thinking 'bout you babe, babe, oh, babe)
The lyrics of MNNX's song "All the Time" depict a person who is struggling with the aftermath of a failed relationship. The singer in the song claims that they have been doing fine without their former partner, but they cannot deny that thoughts of them consume their mind constantly. This reveals the singer's inner conflict - they want to move on but cannot seem to shake off the memories of their ex.
The singer then addresses their partner, who apparently had promised to be away for only a short time but has been gone for longer than expected, indulging in their vices. The singer is understandably upset at being left behind and wants them to pack their bags and leave for good. The line "Now I'm popping pills just to keep my mind on track" portrays the singer's struggle to cope with their current state of mind, resorting to harmful means for temporary relief.
The chorus of the song repeats the singer's dilemma - they have been doing fine without their partner but cannot get them out of their head. The following verse talks about how their partner had claimed to want to work on themselves, but in reality, they were just using the excuse to be with someone else. The singer knows that they should have seen through the lies, but they were blinded by love, resulting in them putting their life on standby.
Overall, the lyrics of "All The Time" convey a sense of introspection and hurt. The singer is trying to come to terms with their past relationship, but they cannot help but feel betrayed and used by their former partner.
