All Join In
Temples Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey you
Someone said you were lost out there
In the grip, trying to strangle us all down here
In the meantime, are you ever gonna set us free
Hey you
Will we ever get out of here?

Are you ever gonna surrender
Do you even care
Wasn't talking about sweet submission
It wasn't even there

All in the suit that you wear
When you're looking for something
It's in the suit that you wear
When you're hiding from someone
All in the suit that you wear
When you wear it

Hey you
You keep a-walking the razor
On the edge, you cut your feet when you stand in there
In the meantime, there's always someone to set you free
Hey you, will you ever get out of there

Are you ever gonna surrender
Do you even care?
Wasn't talking about sweet submission
It wasn't even there

All in the suit that you wear
When you're looking for something
It's in the suit that you wear
When you're hiding from someone
All in the suit that you wear
When you wear it

All in the suit that you wear
All in the suit that you wear
All in the suit that you wear
All in the suit that you wear
All in the suit that you wear
All in the suit that you wear
All in the suit that you wear
All in the suit that you wear

All in the suit that you wear
When you're looking for something
It's in the suit that you wear
When you're hiding from someone
All in the suit that you wear
When you wear it

All in the suit that you wear
When you wear it

All in the suit that you wear
When you wear it





All in the suit that you wear

The "suit" represents the person's outward appearance and the mask they put on to hide their true intentions. The song questions whether this person will ever let go of their grip on others and set them free.


The repeated phrase "All in the suit that you wear" emphasizes the idea that this person's intentions and actions are all contained within the suit they wear, suggesting a superficiality and a lack of authenticity. The line "When you're looking for something" suggests that this person is searching for power or something to gain, while "When you're hiding from someone" implies that they are also afraid of being exposed or challenged.


The lyrics suggest that this person is walking on a razor's edge, implying that their actions are dangerous and potentially harmful. The line "there's always someone to set you free" suggests that there are others who see through this person's facade and are working towards liberation. The song ultimately questions whether this person will ever surrender or show any care towards those they have trapped.


In summary, "All Join In" by Temples examines the dynamics of control and liberation, questioning the motives of someone who is trapped in their own ideology and asks whether they will ever let go and set others free.
