All I Ask of You
Skrillex/12th Planet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've fallen asleep with my head
Pressed against your flaws
All my love (all my love)
And something got in the way
And your soul turned black as the sun goes under
To find hard all my life (all my life)
All I ask of you
Just open up a little bit more
Just open up a little bit more
(Just open up a little bit more)
All I ask of you
All I ask of you
Just open up a little bit more
Just open up a little bit more
(Open up a little bit more)
(Open up a little bit more)
Just open up a little bit more
(Open up a little bit more)
Just open up a little bit more
(Open up a little bit more)
(All I ask of you)
(Just open up a little bit more)
(Just open up a little bit more)
(Just open up a little bit more)
(Open up a little bit more)
All I ask of you
All I ask of you
Just open up a little bit more
Just open up a little bit more
(Just open up a little bit more)
All I ask of you
All I ask of you
Just open up a little bit more
Just open up a little bit more
(Open up a little bit more)
(Open up a little bit more)
Open up a little bit more
(Open up a little bit more)
Open up a little bit more
(Open up a little bit more)
(Open up a little bit more)
(Open up a little bit more)
(Open up a little bit more)
(Open up a little bit more)
(Open up a little bit more)
(Open up a little bit more)
Open up a little bit more
(Open up a little bit more)
All I ask of you
All I ask of you
Just open up a little bit more
Just open up a little bit more
(Open up a little bit more)
(Open up a little bit more)

The song "All I Ask of You" by Skrillex feat. Penny is a tender plea for a deeper and more meaningful connection between two people. The opening lyrics set a somber tone as the singer reveals that they have "fallen asleep with [their] head pressed against your flaws." Despite this, the singer is still in love and is asking for more from their partner. However, "something got in the way" and the partner's "soul turned black as the sun goes under." This suggests that the partner may be struggling with their own issues and has not been able to fully open up to the singer.
The chorus repeats the same lyrics over and over again, "All I ask of you/Just open up a little bit more," emphasizing the simplicity and importance of the request. The use of repetition amplifies the message and the importance of the singer's request. By asking their partner to "open up a little bit more," the singer is asking for a deeper level of openness and vulnerability. They want to truly connect with their partner and share their lives together, but the current level of emotional intimacy is not enough.
Overall, "All I Ask of You" is a powerful and poignant song that captures the challenges of navigating love and relationships. Skrillex's production creates a moody and atmospheric soundscape for Penny's emotive and vulnerable performance. The repetitive chorus is both a powerful and effective tool for emphasis, and the song stands as a beautiful and meaningful ode to the importance of mutual openness and vulnerability in any relationship.
