All for One
Scorpions_(p) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The weekend comes around
The gang is back in town
We love saturdays (we love saturdays)
Another drink to slam
The girls wham bang
The band starts to play the band starts to play

That road fever never leaves me cold

Son of a gun, you never let me go

All for one standing tall through high and low
All for one we ride the storm where it may blow
All for one and one for all
And one for all

A California jam
Meet some good old friends
The city never sleeps (the city never sleeps)
And when we hit the road
Watch out for trouble, bro
Don’t mess with rattlesnakes (don’t mess with rattlesnakes)

That road fever hits me and I guess
I won’t stop till they’ll lay my bones to rest

All for one standing tall through high and low
All for one we ride the storm where it may blow
All for one and one for all
And one for all

Once I did only care about myself
Once I was lost and lonely
Road can be heaven, road can be hell
So if you want me, call me

That road fever never leaves me cold
Son of a gun, you never let me go

All for one standing tall through high and low
All for one we ride the storm where it may blow
All for one just down the road, go, go, go
All for one always fast and never slow
All for one and one for all

And one for all
All for one and one for all, yeah

The band puts forth the idea that they will always stand together through the highs and lows of their lives, and that they are willing to face any obstacle that may be thrown their way.

The songwriter depicts a sense of wanderlust that never lets go of the singer, a wanderlust that drives him to keep traveling and discovering the world. The idea of the road being both heaven and hell there is a sense of risk and danger that comes with exploring the unknown, however, the excitement and pleasure it brings outweigh any possible negative connotations. The song speaks to many people who have experienced the unbreakable bonds of friendship and the sense of freedom that comes with hitting the road.
