All Or Nothing
Submorphics feat. T.R.A.C Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no grey in my scale
It's a zero or one
A hell no or fuck yeah
A pass or a fail
All or nothing
But I lie and convince myself
That I can't try to get up and do something else
No I can't turn it off
It'll go out by itself
When the dust settles in the shine goes away
The fixation dissolves and melts
It blinds and deafens
Like a punch to the face
My eyes swell up, my nose congested with blood
I'm spinning and I can't see fucking straight
All or nothing
There's no grey in my scale
It's a zero or one
A hell no or fuck yeah
A pass or a fail
All or nothing
But I lie and convince myself
That I can't try to get up and do something else
But I'm still here with no avail
Why does it always go down this way?
I guess I'll never know
What difference does it make when the outcomes the same?
Unstable and a blur
I guess I'll never know
Some things are best left unresolved
When this bites me in the ass like an acid flashback
Then we'll see how the tables have turned
All or nothing
All or nothing
All or nothing
All or nothing
The clock keeps on ticking
And there's no-one listening in
I try to keep pace by running in place
But the ships already sinking
All or nothing
There's no grey in my scale
It's a zero or one
A hell no or fuck yeah
A pass or a fail
All or nothing
But I lie and convince myself
That I can't try to get up and do something else
But I'm still here with no avail
All or nothing
All or nothing
All or nothing
The lyrics to Submorphics feat. T.R.A.C's song "All or Nothing" depict a situation between two people who are arguing and seem to be at odds with each other. The singer views this argument as pointless and futile, as they feel that neither party is able to understand each other's point of view. The singer implores the other person to stop talking and to listen, suggesting that they might then be able to gain a new perspective and understand what they have been missing out on. The singer suggests that the argument is a waste of time and that the two should instead try to find common ground before it's too late, as time is fleeting and they may not have the chance again.
The repeated refrain of "It's all or nothing" suggests that the singer views this moment as crucial and that they are unwilling to compromise on what they feel is important. The line "Don't spread yourself so thin" indicates that the singer wants the other person to focus on what is truly important and not get caught up in insignificant details. The bridge implies that the singer has seen this situation before and has watched the other person walk away, but that this time there is still a chance to make things right if they can let their guard down and listen to each other.
