That's All
Teddy & Continentals Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's like learnin' how to feel when the drugs run out
You can see my scars 'cause I'm wearin' them proud
Even with my broken parts, I feel better now
If I could crawl in my mind
And give any advice to my younger self
Find someone who'll be there for you
'Cause that's all that really matters in the end
Find somewhere you can come home to
Find someone that'll die for you
'Cause that's all that really matters in the end
Is love, love, love
'Cause it's all that really matters in the end
'Cause it's all that really matters in the end
It's hard to tell the truth when you lie to yourself
Always give too much of you to someone else
I'm talkin' to you now like we're all friends
It will never be too late to start again
Find something you can hold onto
Find someone who'll be there for you
'Cause that's all that really matters in the end
Find someone you can come home to
Find someone that'll die for you (die for you)
'Cause it's all that really matters in the end
Is love, love, love
'Cause it's all that really matters in the end
Find something you can hold onto
Find someone who'll be there for you
'Cause that's all that really matters in the end
Find someone you can come home to
Find someone that'll die for you
'Cause that's all that really matters in the end
Is love, love, love
Love, love, love
Because that's all that really matters in the end
Is love, love, love
Love, love, love
It's all that really matters in the end
(Is love, love, love)
'Cause that's all that really matters in the end
'Cause that's all that really matters in the end
In the lyrics to the song "That's All," Teddy & Continentals express the significance of love and human connection in one's journey through life. The opening lines depict the struggle of learning how to live when there's no one around, as well as the emptiness that comes when relying on drugs or external substances to feel. The singer acknowledges their scars but wears them proudly, suggesting that despite their brokenness, they have found a sense of healing and improvement.
The lyrics emphasize the importance of self-reflection and growth by imagining giving advice to one's younger self. The advice given is to find something or someone to hold onto, to build meaningful connections and relationships. The repeated refrain of "That's all that really matters in the end" reinforces this message, highlighting the ultimate value of love and companionship.
The song also addresses the difficulty of facing one's own truth and the tendency to give too much of oneself to others. Despite these challenges, the singer speaks to the listener as if they are friends, assuring that it is never too late to start anew. The overall message is that love, in all its forms, is the most important aspect of life.
