All or Nothing
Tamar Kaprelian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's really quite remarkable that without you
I'm halfway to nowhere and nowhere between
You're the only one who knows what I need
Give me a-a-a-a a-a-a-all or nothing
Give me a-a-a-a a-a-a-all or nothing
I've tried to do this so long
But you're the only thing that's always on my mind
The truth is my heart doesn't work part time
You've already got the best of my heart
A-a-a-a a-a-a-all or nothing
Give me a-a-a-a a-a-a-all or nothing
The season has changed and the world must turn
As long as our laugh is the dance we'll learn
It's you and me in this crazy world
I still wanna be your girl
I still wanna be your girl
A-a-a-a-a a-a-a-a-a a-a-a-a-all
A-a-a-a-a a-a-a-a-a a-a-a-a-all
Give me a-a-a-a a-a-a-all or nothing
Give me a-a-a-a a-a-a-all or nothing
The season has changed and the world must turn
As long as our laugh is the dance we'll learn
It's you and me in this crazy world
I still wanna be your girl
I still want to be your girl
The lyrics of Tamar Kaprelian's song "All or Nothing" describe the feeling of wanting someone completely or not at all. The song starts with the metaphor of a rainy day and contrast it with a clear blue sky to convey how the absence of the person she wants leaves her feeling lost and aimless. She emphasizes that this person is the only one who truly understands her needs.
The second verse expresses the conflict she faces because she has attempted to move on without this person, but they remain on her mind. She explains that her heart can't function with just a part-time love and that the other person already owns the best of it. She implores them to give her all of their love or none at all.
The chorus repeats the line "Give me a-a-a-a a-a-a-all or nothing," further underscoring the central theme of the song. The final verse declares that despite the changing nature of the world and life, the singer desires to continue to dance alongside this person through both the good and bad times.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of intense longing and the willingness to risk everything for love.
