Odesza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm just trying to see you in your moment baby
No this is not a tactic to expose you babe
I'm just, I'm just trying to see you
I could be down on it
You could be all we need
I could be down on it
I was thinking you and I could
Skip the part where we small talk each other
Turn the beat up, turn it real loud
Turn the beat up, turn it real loud
Hold me to my word this time
I'm gonna take another ride
Call me on my bitter side
Call me on my cell at night
Take it to the limit babe
Don't ask me to commit a thing
If no one gets hurt, what was it worth
What was it worth, what was it worth
I could be down on it
You could be all we need
I could be down on it
You could be all we need
Just wanna fast forward
Just wanna fast forward
Just give me the damn controller
Just wanna fast forward
The song All We Need by ODESZA starts with the singer telling the listener that they're not trying to expose them by any means. Instead, they just want to see the listener in their own moment. It could be interpreted that the singer is trying to see the listener for who they truly are without any pretense or facade. The singer then proposes the idea of skipping the small talk and turning up the beat, ultimately saying that they want to be with the listener without any commitment.
The chorus repeatedly says "I could be down on it, you could be all we need" which could be interpreted in various ways. It could be interpreted that the singer wants to be in a relationship with the listener without any commitment, but also expresses the want for the listener to be everything they need in the moment. It could also be interpreted that the singer wants to be there for the listener no matter what and they want to be there for each other in a non-committal but supportive way. The singer then expresses their desire to fast forward through time by saying "just give me the damn controller," indicating that they simply want to get to the part where they're fully invested in each other.

The little things that make me appreciate proximity even more:
- Their music will start with the video no waiting on the intro
- They allow us, fans and artists, to send in art and they might use it
- They are consistent with uploaded
- They don't call us the "Prox Army" or some shit like that
- No chicks licking lollipops as a background
- There is never a voice over saying "You're listening to Proximity" or something along those lines
- The songs our dope
