All Because Of You
Saliva [gen-thylon] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I can't even feel you now
Or know that this is real
Am I too blind to see that there's something there behind your eyes
And it's bringing me to my knees
All I want is you and I don't care
All I want is you and I don't care
'Cause all I do is wait in, wondering and hoping that we'll survive it
All because of you
Something's wrong with you
The walls you build around you now
Seem to fit you like a glove
Something's wrong with you
'Cause stars cannot be found in clouds that cover up their love
All I want is you and I don't care
All I want is you and I don't care
'Cause all I do is wait in, wondering and hoping that we'll survive it
I know that all this is true
All because of you
In Saliva [gen-thylon]’s song, “All Because Of You,” the singer seems to be struggling with a relationship that is falling apart. The lyrics suggest a sense of loss and confusion as the singer asks himself whether there is something truly there between him and his partner. He feels disconnected from his partner, unable to “feel” them or know whether their connection is real. There is a sense of regret in the chorus as the singer repeats that “all I want is you” and he doesn't care about the rest.
The second verse turns the perspective to focus on the partner, suggesting that they too are struggling with something. The “walls” that surround them are described as snug, almost as if they are hiding away from something. This builds on the sense of confusion and a lack of connection as both partners are finding it hard to understand each other. Despite all of this, the chorus repeats, which reinforces the sense of yearning that the singer feels towards them.
Overall, the song paints a picture of a relationship in disarray, both partners unable to connect and be open with each other. The singer desperately wants to salvage the relationship but is unsure whether it's even possible. The chorus reinforces the desire for something true and real, suggesting that the singer is not willing to let go of the relationship just yet.

You might be hiding your true emotions and love behind those barriers
