All Night Long
One Man Army Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I First Met You
Way Back When I Knew
We Had Nothin' To Say
But It Was Alright Tonight
Where've You Gone Now?
I Hear You're Living Up Town
Runnin' Round Runnin' Away
All Night Long

The Two Of Us We Said
They Always Talk Too Much
Did You Hear Them?
Callin' Your Name
I Wanted So Much More
Than To Be A Martyr For A Dying Cause
When I Met You
When I First Met You
All Night Long...Gone
She's Packed Her Bags
The Note Reads "Dear Jon"
I'm Leaving Town Soon
Wish Me Well
Off I Go...Fuck You
Your Miserable Life Here And Us Too
All Night Long I'm Thinking
What's Went Wrong...It Was Alright
I Wanted So Much More
Than To Be A Martyr For A Dying Cause
When I Met You

When I First Met You
All Night Long...Gone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "All Night Long" by One Man Army describe a past relationship that has ended in the present day. The singer recalls meeting someone "way back when" and having nothing to say, but still having a good time together. However, now they have gone their separate ways - the person the singer met is now living uptown and "running around all night long". Despite wanting more from the relationship, the singer feels like they were a "martyr for a dying cause" and wonders what went wrong. The song ends with the singer receiving a note from the person they met, saying that they are leaving town soon.

The chorus of the song contains the title phrase "all night long" and seems to serve as a sort of refrain, emphasizing the idea that the person the singer met is living a fast-paced, unfulfilling life. The second verse talks about how others around them always talked too much and were calling the person's name, possibly hinting at a sense of jealousy or possessiveness. The final verse has a bitter tone, with the singer telling the person who left that they are leaving their "miserable life here and us too". Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of regret and disappointment over a relationship that didn't work out.
