All I Have
Perceptions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How many days go by
I feel like I've lost
My mind this time
I can't go home
I can't get sleep
I just wanna connect
The past to me
And this is killing me
In the end
I'll look back and think
On where I've been
And how I'm glad I stayed
In the end
Most souls get bent then break
But you rose with broken bones
I'm no longer quaking
Can I get lost
In the same atmosphere?
I know I've felt this fear
This can't be real
I'm so afraid of
My past
I'm so afraid that
It's real
I have to go back
That pain is all I have
It's all I have
It's all I have
The lonely nights
Where I lost all sight
It's all I have
In the end
I'll look back and think
On where I've been
And how I'm glad I stayed
In the end
Most souls get bent then break
But you rose with broken bones
I'm no longer quaking
I can feel this way
And that's okay
I have to go back
I can feel this way
And that's okay
This pain is all I have
But I don't want it that way
In the end
I'll look back and think
On where I've been
And how I'm glad I stayed
In the end
Most souls get bent then break
But you rose with broken bones
I'm no longer quaking
The song "All I Have" by Perceptions speaks about the struggle of dealing with past traumas and fears that still linger in the present. The lyrics suggest the singer is feeling lost and unable to connect with the world around them. They are plagued by memories that they are afraid of facing but knows they must confront eventually. The song mentions that this struggle is impacting their mental health, affecting their ability to sleep and go about their day-to-day life. The lyrics depict a person who is struggling to overcome their past.
However, the song does offer hope by emphasizing the theme of perseverance and the power of rising above hardship. The singer encourages themself to keep going, reminding themself that they have come too far to give up now. The chorus sings, "In the end, I'll look back and think on where I've been, and how I'm glad I stayed." This line suggests that the journey is not over, but the singer is proud of how far they have come.
The song also acknowledges that healing is a process that takes time, and it's okay to feel scared and uncertain. The singer knows that they have to face their past to move forward, but also that it can be a painful experience. Ultimately, "All I Have" seems to be a reminder that even though the road to recovery may be long and difficult, it is possible to overcome one's trauma and fears and come out stronger on the other side.

Every time I listen to this I pick up new nuances in the music.
the two note flute at :27 that shows up again in the next stanza a few octaves higher and with some funk smeared on itz
The slightly creepy "I can perceive you" harmony in the left ear around :40
The WICKED walking bassline at 50: in the right ear
The low end vocoder bass harmony throughout is great
The funktastic organ groove that makes up the backbone is goofy but also really great with the syncopation...
Its been a while since I have had this much fun listening to a song.
The mixing is fantastic.

I laughed uncontrollably hard when his immediate response to a npc being short was “I cast vicious mockery”

In the first session of my first campaign the players fought a dwarf who was poisoning people to sell them the cure, and the bard yelled 'my grandma can grow a better beard than you' and the dwarf was so insulted he had an aneurism and died immediately.

And this is what sets a bard apart. Anyone can attempt an intimidate check to lower their rolls. Haha, they're short.
What sets this apart as truly Vicious Mockery is a brief and vivid trip into a world where a baby was born and everyone was like "where's the rest of it", and implying therefore the kid has a NORMAL SIZED HEAD. You can come to terms with being short, but if someone told you in verse that you were short but have a pumpkinlike cranial eminance, some real orange on a toothpick shit? Even if you pass your save, that's years of therapy.

@Kali Maude tbf babies are all born with huge heads, and the bard eventually perceived he was short because he was a kid. He just managed to convince the poor kid that his completely normal birth was a sign of a physical defect.

@Kali Maude"some real orange on a toothpick shit" fuckin killed me dude

The IMMEDIATE realization on the DM’s part as soon as he says “yes” is disturbingly relatable. You can pretty much sense the avarice and curiosity radiating off your players when they ask questions like this and it’s almost as if they’ve shed their human guises and revealed themselves to be a pack of goblins in a trenchcoat the entire time.

I can confirm all of my characters are actually just several goblins in armor pretending, this is why we must take deceit bonuses all the time
