All For You
Night Riots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A mother crying
On the tv
The world is suffering
I've had enough
I need your innocence
Don't let up
Just give me your love
With your touch
I can take it I can take all the pain
All for you all for you it's always been for you
You are quiet
In a world so full of noise
I'll be the shoulder you cry on
I will always hear your voice
Full of desire you love you laugh you dream
I'll give you healing
With my touch
I can take it I can take all your pain
All for you all for you it's always been for you
Our love will never fade
You're the star in an early dawn
Forever in the twilight
Like a diamond in the calm
You're the moon On a cold grey sea
You light the way
Always guiding me
The first few lines of Night Riots' song “All for You” lays down the foundation for the song's meaning. The song’s narrator is expressing the feeling of emptiness experienced when the person they love is away. They feel as if they are losing sleep and evoke the metaphor of a crying mother on the TV to show the intensity of their sadness. The following line, “The world is suffering,” could represent the chaotic and uncertain world we live in or perhaps the singer’s personal suffering that is amplified in the absence of their loved one.
The chorus is repetitive, with the words “All for you, all for you, it’s always been for you,” emphasizing the idea that the singer’s love and devotion are solely for their significant other. They plead with their partner to give them love and release, asking for their touch to take away all their pain while assuring that they can withstand any pain from their partner.
In the remaining verses, the singer describes their admiration for their loved one's resilience and how they aim to support and heal them. Lines like “You’re the star in an early dawn, Forever in the twilight” portrays their partner as unique and extraordinary. They vow to remain by their side, to guide them through life and to always be their emotional support. Ultimately, “All for You” is a song about the power of love and how it can heal even the deepest of wounds.
