All I Got
RAC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never will let you fool me
How can I follow suggestions?
When you try to act like you knew me
And I know and I know and I know I might be wrong
But I learned to face this alone
Let it be let it be let it be and let it rock
I have to lose some ambition
It looks like a ship on my shoulder
When day they'll return time to moving
I stay unclasped in the corner
Take it back, take it back at the stoplights of love
I've learned to set free to learn
Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go I'm already late
For a date with my best friend
And I know and I know and I know I'm on my own
But I learned to move on alone
Let it be let it be let it be and let it rock
I've given all I've got
And if you ask me to be friends with you, you're asking for too much
It doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but then what really does?
It's been a lot of shaking hands lately and not a lot of hugs
Cause the bed you like to share with me is big but not wide enough
Take it back, take it back at the stoplights of love
I've learned to set free to learn
Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go I'm already late
For a date with my best friend
And I know and I know and I know I'm on my own
But I learned to move on alone
Let it be let it be let it be and let it rock
I've given all I've got
I've tried to cross over dead ends
But ? my existence
And I've tried to jump over fences
Then that was my intentions
The lyrics of RAC's song All I Got discuss themes of independence, self-reflection, and moving on. The singer in the song talks about their unwillingness to be fooled by others and their refusal to blindly follow suggestions. They acknowledge that they may be wrong at times but have learned to face situations alone. The singer distances themselves from people who try to act like they know them, recognizing their own agency and the value of independent thinking.
The second verse touches on the concept of letting go and shedding ambition, recognizing that it can become a burden. The singer describes feeling unclasped in the corner, suggesting a sense of liberation from long-held beliefs or habits. They emphasize the importance of moving on and setting themselves free to learn, rather than holding onto things that are no longer serving them.
The final verse talks about the singer's interactions with others, particularly with someone who has asked to be friends. The singer feels that person is asking too much and mentions the lack of affection or intimacy in the relationship. They describe a feeling of isolation and a desire for deeper connections.
Overall, the song encourages individuality and self-reliance, emphasizing the importance of letting go of things that may hold us back and pursuing our own paths. It speaks to the idea that sometimes we have to be on our own and move forward without others, but that we can still let life "rock" and embrace all it has to offer.
