All the Things Lost
MS MR Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No matter how sweet the salt
We pushed so hard we finally broke
Oh no more apologies need be exchanged
Oh no words could ever help relieve this pain

All our silence could not excuse
Disappoint or further prove
Anything other than what we already know
Easier to live with pain than have to let it go

Spent your life collecting so you can never forget
Treasured moments become lost treasures
When you can't recollect
Everyone keeps asking are we ok




The truth is we're not
But I don't know what to say

Overall Meaning

The first verse of MS MR's song "All the Things Lost" speaks to the breaking point of a relationship where the "sweet the salt" of trying to salvage the situation has failed. The partners pushed so hard that they finally broke and there are no more apologies left to exchange. Words can't help to relieve the pain anymore, as all the past silence in the relationship only makes it more difficult to come to terms with the current reality. It's easier for them to live with the pain of the breakup than to let go and move on.


The second verse reflects on the way people try to collect and hold on to memories, treasuring them as they become the only remaining connection to the past. However, memories can become lost with time and when the ability to recollect fades, they become meaningless. Friends ask if they're okay, but the truth is they're not and there's no easy answer.


Overall, the song speaks about the difficulty of letting go of a relationship that has ended and the pain that comes with the memories that can never be recaptured. There's a sense of finality and loss that permeates throughout the lyrics.

No matter how sweet the salt
Regardless of how pleasant the pain is


We pushed so hard we finally broke
We kept struggling until we finally gave in


Oh no more apologies need be exchanged
There's no more need to say sorry


Oh no words could ever help relieve this pain
Words cannot make the pain go away


All our silence could not excuse
Our quietness didn't justify our actions


Disappoint or further prove
Neither does it disappoint nor confirm anything new


Anything other than what we already know
It doesn't reveal anything we're not aware of


Easier to live with pain than have to let it go
It's less challenging to live in agony than to release it


Spent your life collecting so you can never forget
You've been gathering things, so you never lose the memories


Treasured moments become lost treasures
Favored instances become forgotten valuables


When you can't recollect
When you cannot remember


Everyone keeps asking are we ok
People keep asking if we're alright


The truth is we're not
The truth is we're not


But I don't know what to say
But, I don't know what to say

ALL THE THINGS LOST 💀 LYRICS

No matter how sweet the salt
We pushed so hard we finally broke
Oh no more apologies need be exchanged
Oh no words could ever help relieve this pain

All our silence could not excuse
Disappoint or further prove
Anything other than what we already know
Easier to live with pain than have to let it go

Spent your life collecting so you can never forget
Treasured moments become lost treasures
When you can't recollect
Everyone keeps asking are we ok
The truth is we're not
But I don't know what to say

"Tutte le cose perdute"

Non importa quanto sia dolce il sale
Spingiamo così difficile abbiamo finalmente rotto
Oh, niente più scuse hanno bisogno di essere scambio
Oh, nessuna parola potrebbe mai aiutare ad alleviare il dolore

Tutto il nostro silenzio non poteva scusare
Deludere o ulteriori dimostrare
Qualcosa di diverso da quello che già sappiamo
Più facile a vivere un dolore che deve lasciarlo andare

Trascorso tua raccolta di vita in modo da poter mai dimenticare
momenti preziosi diventano tesori perduti quando non è possibile ricordare
Ognuno continua a chiedere siamo a posto
La verità è che non siamo, ma non so cosa dire

This was used so incredibly in the trailer for Room. Gives me chills. The film itself is beautiful and heartbreaking. The most powerful film I've seen this year.
