Seemingly formed overnight, Red Lipstick Letter burst out of the panhandle of Florida and onto the online music scene in late November of 2004, quickly gaining a large, dedicated fan base from all over (and out of) the country. Between continuous support of their single, "Stay With Me," and the band's devotion to their fans, they have made quite a name for themselves in such a short amount of time. During the first half of 2006, many transformations took place in the band including 3 member changes. Now, Red Lipstick Letter has a new line-up consisting of Austin McDonald (Vocals), Brian Benauer (Guitar/Vocals), Seth Cromer (Guitar), Jimmy Seward (Bass), and Justin DeRose (Drums). The band adopted the DIY system, by creating a merch line, booking tours, making recording plans, and tirelessly promoting in any way possible all by themselves. The hard work was not in vain, Thriving Records took notice and in January of 2006, the band was signed to their first label, anxiously awaiting arrival of their debut album. In Febuary, "Here's Your Photograph" was released and quickly gained success, selling out in regional Hot Topic's and climbing the charts in CD sales on Smartpunk.com. After coming home from a two-month east coast spring tour and an appearance at this year's Warped Tour, Red Lipstick Letter is staying busy by taking time to prepare for a new album and playing local venues. The band is very excited about writing new material and getting back on the road and touring, so we encourage everyone to be on the lookout for what is to come in the future. We will keep you updated! A band is nothing without their fans, and we know that and sincerely thank you for your support! myspace.com/redlipstickletter

Take It All
Red Lipstick Letter Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A lovely stare
And i knew it didn't matter
Walking next to you
As i want to be with you

A star-like kiss
And a look that will mean nothing
Look into my eyes

These words that turn you on

I hope you starve for love
Take it all
It doesn't matter
Walk away rolling your eyes

I hope you starve for love
Take it all
It doesn't matter
Walk away rolling your eyes

It's two am
And you've already called four times
Whisper i'm okay
It will only last so long

Here's a line
It says my sweet i'm so sorry
Now you're on your own
And i never let you go

I hope you starve for love
Take it all
It doesn't matter
Walk away rolling your eyes

I hope you starve for love
Take it all
It doesn't matter
Walk away rolling your eyes

Your eyes

Hold your breath and don't let go
Holding on to everything i know

Take it all
It doesn't matter

I hope you starve for love
Take it all

It doesn't matter
Walk away rolling your eyes

Overall Meaning

The song "Take It All" by Red Lipstick Letter is about the end of a relationship and the emotional power struggle between the two individuals. The singer is focusing on the power play of the separation and leaves the listener wondering about the intended outcome. It seems as though the singer wants their partner to suffer and feel the longing for love so that they can take satisfaction and power over their emotions. The lyrics suggest an unhealthy dynamic within the relationship, with the singer seemingly enjoying the pain of their partner.

The chorus of the song, "I hope you starve for love, take it all, it doesn't matter, walk away rolling your eyes," indicates that the singer wants their partner to feel the pain and longing for love that they felt in the relationship. The idea of walking away rolling your eyes suggests that the singer feels powerful in the dynamic of the separation, and that their partner's emotions no longer hold any power over them. However, this power dynamic seems to be ultimately unsatisfying for the singer as they hold onto everything they know, indicating a reluctance to let go of the relationship.

The song is evocative in its imagery and metaphors, creating a sense of longing, power, and manipulation. It provides insight into the complicated emotions and dynamics that can come with the end of a relationship.

Line by Line Meaning

A lovely stare
I found your gaze to be attractive

And i knew it didn't matter
I realized that the consequences of our actions were irrelevant to us at the time

Walking next to you
Being in your presence feels comforting and right

As i want to be with you
I have a desire to be near you

A star-like kiss
We shared a passionate kiss

And a look that will mean nothing
Your facial expression was meaningless to me

Look into my eyes
Peer deeply into my soul

These words that turn you on
This language excites you

I hope you starve for love
I wish that you crave love desperately

Take it all
Absorb everything love has to offer you

It doesn't matter
The consequences of our actions don't have significance or weight

Walk away rolling your eyes
Leave, and be dismissive towards me

It's two am
It is currently two o'clock in the morning

And you've already called four times
You have contacted me four times by phone already

Whisper i'm okay
Speak softly, telling me that you are fine

It will only last so long
This emotional connection between us has a limited lifespan

Here's a line
This is a written message from me to you

It says my sweet i'm so sorry
It communicates my regret to you

Now you're on your own
You are now independent

And i never let you go
I never truly allowed you to fully escape me

Your eyes
Your gaze

Hold your breath and don't let go
Pause for a moment and stay still

Holding on to everything i know
I cling to every bit of knowledge and emotion that I have gained from you
