All Of The People
Panama Wedding Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
well aren't we a little bit old now
for this crazy game?
Is it safe now
that winter's gone?
But I think we could use a little memory
to add to the database.
I put it in a vault
hidden behind the face on the red room wall.
I took everything I wanted
I took everything I need
all in a day
or maybe they just want me to leave.
All of the people
all of the people stand
standing to wait
waiting for the concrete to break.
All of the people
all of the people take
take it away
you know maybe you just made me believe.
And the days
the days feel a little bit longer now
and the morning's bright.
If we escape now
and leave this place
I hope heaven has another open door for us
when the day is getting late.
I saved a little bit of money
I put it in a vault
hidden behind the face on the red room wall.
I took everything I wanted
I took everything I need
all in a day
or maybe they just want me to leave.
All of the people
all of the people stand
standing to wait
waiting for the concrete to break.
All of the people
all of the people take
take it away
you know maybe you just made me believe.
Woke up late still half asleep
but the airport line out in the street.
Baby I know you wanted to stay
but the weekend rush won't let us wait.
Woke up late still half asleep
but the airport line out in the street.
Baby I know you wanted to stay
but the weekend rush won't let us wait.
All of the people
all of the people stand
standing to wait
waiting for the concrete to break
All of the people
all of the people take
take it away
you know maybe you just made me believe
The song "All of the People" by Panama Wedding is a reflective and introspective piece about a relationship that has lost its spark. The lyrics suggest that the singer is feeling too old to play games and is questioning the safety and stability of the relationship now that winter has passed. However, the singer also acknowledges that memories are important and could add value to their experience. The next verse then describes the singer's decision to take control of their life by saving money and taking everything they need and want. The lyrics imply that this was not an easy choice, and there may have been external forces that influenced it, with the line "maybe they just want me to leave." The song then transitions into the chorus, where the singer addresses "all of the people" standing and waiting for something to happen, possibly representing society and cultural expectations. The chorus ends with the line: "you know perhaps you just made me believe," which suggests the singer has had a change of heart about something.
The second verse returns to the theme of time and the feeling of life passing by, but this time the singer expresses hope that there is still something better waiting for them if they escape their current situation. The line "when the day is getting late" could be interpreted as a reminder that time is running out, and the singer does not want to waste any more of it. The third verse brings in the idea of travel and the weekend rush, suggesting that the singer and their partner may be going on a trip to escape their current reality. The repetition of "woke up late still half asleep" emphasizes the feeling of being stuck in a cycle and needing to break free from it.
Overall, the song's lyrics encapsulate the themes of time, memory, stagnation, and the need for change and growth. The use of "all of the people" as a chorus gives the song a communal and relatable quality, suggesting that the singer's struggles are not unique and that many others may be experiencing similar challenges.
