Micah E. Wood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All my life
And what you gonna shine what you gonna shine, y'all
All that light
How long you been working on it tell me right now say
All my life
And what you gonna shine what you gonna shine, y'all
All that light
All my life
Has it ever disappeared in an instant and you missed it and you figured that it isn't quite Right?
Maybe it's a jolt or a momentary glimpse, shine
All that light, right right
Forget all of your inhibitions
Calibrate the system
Time to get your business right
Have you ever prepared for a moment like this say
All my life
Has it ever disappeared in an instant and you missed it and you figured that it isn't quite Right?
Maybe it's a jolt or a momentary glimpse, shine
All that light, right right
Forget all of your inhibitions
Calibrate the system
Time to get your business
Right on
Right on yeah
Turn to somebody and say right on
Right on right on
Channel your inner Marvin Gaye
Right on right on right on
Right on yeah
Right on yeah yeah
Right on
Right on right on
How's it go?
We stay style trippin'
Thick like there's Bisquick in it
Tiltin' it
Tippin' in it
Rippin' overdrive kickin' in it into the space time continuum
Spinnin' vibes on mission
Even eyes listenin'
Hissin' when it hits the pan
Lessons of lesser man
Spare us with your messages
Your appearance is blessed
In essence you are the pyramid
Offer all you clearly can define
A culture creation ancient as time travellin'
Unravellin' weather that'll spin on the 365 spark fire into life
Write hieroglyph, type, script, mine a bit
Mic switched live, final climate pitch, light eclipsed high
Far above the ceiling of your sky
Sight blind a bit
Ride an idle tidal rift and slide a spliff by
Rise up in the mid sky
Lift a simple gift
I swear if it was mine I would kiss the sky
Have you ever prepared for a moment like this say
All my life
Has it ever disappeared in an instant and you missed it and you figured that it isn't quite Right?
Maybe it's a jolt or a momentary glimpse, shine
All that light, right right
Forget all of your inhibitions
Calibrate the system
Time to get your business right
Yo how long you been working on it tell me right now say
All my life
And what you gonna shine what you gonna shine, y'all
All that light
How long you been working on it tell me right now say
All my life
And what you gonna shine what you gonna shine, y'all
All that light
Right on
Tell somebody right on
Right on yeah
Right on right on
Right on right on right on
Right on yeah
Right on yeah yeah
From genesis to cell senescence
The infinite complexities of the message
Perplexing the best of the western medical professors
Who thought that all life must have an end but when the pendulum draws back they Question it again
We send our best regards
Transcend and send it all again
Check our cohort of symbionts filling in the in interim
Our mission is to feed the spark in every man, woman, 2 spirit and kid
We cross our hearts and wish to live
Respond to stimulus, send the signal, bring them in,
If you ain't notice we been working again
You wonder since when
And with such a deep intention
Without even contradiction
Learning through consequence in positive directions
We're not passing blessings off as spiritual messages sent upon us from whoever to Attest we get the best when
The rest can fight for what's left man that ain't right
You can have half of mine I been working all my life
All my life right
Have you ever prepared for a moment like this say
All my life
Has it ever disappeared in an instant and you missed it and you figured that it isn't quite Right?
Maybe it's a jolt or a momentary glimpse, shine
All that light, right right
Forget all of your inhibitions
Calibrate the system
Time to get your business right
Yo how long you been working on it tell me one more time c'mon
All my life
And what you gonna shine what you gonna shine, y'all
All that light
How long you been working on it tell me right now say
All my life
And what you gonna shine what you gonna shine, y'all
All that light
The lyrics to Micah E. Wood's song "All My Friends" reflect an underlying message of working hard towards one's goals and shining brightly in the face of adversity. The repetition of the phrase "All my life" implies that the singer has been working towards their goals for as long as they can remember. The line "Have you ever prepared for a moment like this" highlights the idea of seizing opportunities when they come, as they may be fleeting and hard to come by.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of shedding inhibitions and calibrating one's system to get their "business right." The line "Channel your inner Marvin Gaye" is a reference to the legendary musician's smooth and confident demeanor, suggesting that the singer wants listeners to channel that same energy in their pursuit of success.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more complex and abstract, touching on themes of life, death, and the endless complexities of existence itself. The line "The infinite complexities of the message" suggests that the singer is grappling with trying to understand the meaning of life and their place in the world.
Overall, "All My Friends" encourages listeners to embrace hard work, seize opportunities, and strive for success while maintaining a sense of humility and appreciation for the mysteries of existence.
