All the Time
Swimm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It feels like we do it for something
On the edge of everything
It feels like the whole world but maybe its nothing
(All my life)
Bright as the stars in your eyes boy
(All my life)
Now I wanna know
I want it all the time
Say it wont show
Say it wont show
(I)
You worry all the time
Say it wont show
Say it wont show
(All my life)
All depends on what we do at the end of the night
(All my life)
But it seemed like a good idea at the time
(All your life)
When everyone's crazy
(All your life)
Hey man you wanted to go
(I)
I want it all the time
Say it wont show
Say it wont show
(I)
You worry all the time
Say it wont show
Say it wont show
(I)
I want it all the time
Say it wont show
Say it wont show
(I)
You worry all the time
Say it wont show
Say it wont show
The lyrics to Swimm's song All the Time convey a sense of restlessness and uncertainty about the future. The singer is standing on the edge of something and is unsure whether what they are doing is meaningful or not. The repetition of the phrase "All my life" seems to suggest that the singer has been feeling this way for a long time and has yet to find answers to their questions.
The second verse suggests that the singer may be in a relationship or pursuing someone, as they describe bright stars in someone's eyes. However, even in this situation, the singer is still uncertain and wants to have it all the time, whatever that may be. The phrase "Say it wont show" appears multiple times and may reflect the singer's desire to hide their doubts and fears from the world.
The third verse introduces the idea that everything depends on what we do at the end of the night, suggesting that the singer may be seeking clarity or closure in their choices. However, the following line "but it seemed like a good idea at the time" suggests that even the singer's own choices may not provide the answers they seek. The song ends with the singer repeating their desire to have it all the time and to avoid showing their worries to the world.

By the way at the edge of it all
As a matter of fact, when we're at the brink of everything
It feels like we do it for something
It seems as if we have a purpose behind every action we take
On the edge of everything
Right on the brink of something big
It feels like the whole world but maybe its nothing
It seems like the world is at stake, but in reality, it might be of no significance
