All You Know
Quietly Concerned Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All caught up in paradise,
Running away from everything real,
Everything that hurts to feel.
All you know is all that you've,
Put up to keep you from the truth,
A wall to keep out all the hurt,
All along you thought that you,
Were better off if all you knew was gold.
All along you've been a fool,
And it's getting old.
All you do is all routine,
A careful schedule meant to clean,
Your heart of anything that might,
Disturb the peace and cause a fight.
All you do is bury your head,
You know, you might as well be dead,
But once you find the good you'll learn,
To take the bad when it's your turn.
All along you thought that you,
Were better off if all you knew was gold.
All along you've been a fool,
And it's getting old.
In "All You Know," Quietly Concerned sings about the inadequacy of living in a bubble of comfort, where one puts up walls to protect oneself from the harsh realities of life. The song speaks about how people often choose to live in denial, pretending that everything is fine even when their lives are falling apart. The opening line, "All you know is all a lie" suggests that people often construct their own realities that don't reflect the truth of their lives. They become so consumed with this illusion that reality becomes difficult to bear.
The chorus of the song, which repeats the lines "All along you thought that you / Were better off if all you knew was gold / All along you've been a fool / And it's getting old," is a reminder that living in denial only leads to stagnation. The verses of the song speak about the measures taken to protect oneself from the truth of their lives, including routines that are meant to distract from the reality of life. However, the singer stresses that one cannot just focus on the good in life and ignore the bad, as this creates an incomplete picture of reality that cannot be sustained.
The overall message of the song seems to be to encourage listeners to face their problems head-on rather than hiding from them. It suggests that only by acknowledging and facing reality can we grow and move forward in our lives. In a world where mental health is often neglected, "All You Know" serves as a reminder to take care of ourselves mentally and emotionally.

Came across this song through a GoPro app I just downloaded. So glad I did. I've spent most of the evening listening to all your other music too. I'm really impressed and glad that I just so happened to stumble across this via an app. I always find it difficult to discover new music and it's just crazy how something so amazing can just come out the blue. I'm already sharing with my family and friends.
