Genesis
That's All Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I find out I'm wrong, when I thought I was right
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
I could say day, and you'd say night
Tell me it's black, when I know that it's white
Always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
I could leave but I won't go
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
But why does it always seem to be
Me looking at you, you looking at me
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
Turning me on, turning me off
Making me feel like I want too much
Living with you just putting me through it all of the time
Running around, staying out all night
Taking it all instead of taking one bite
Living with you just putting me through it all of the time
I could leave but I won't go
But It'd be easier I know
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
But why does it always seem to be
Me looking at you, you looking at me
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
Truth is I love you
More than I wanted to
There's no point in trying
to pretend
There's been no-one who
Makes me feel like you do
Say we'll be together till
the end
But I could leave but I
won't go
It'd be easier I know
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
So why does it always seem to be
Me looking at you, you looking at me
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
But I love you
More than I wanted to There's no point in trying
to pretend
There's been no-one who makes me feel like you do
Say we'll be together to
the end
But just as I thought it was going alright
I find out I'm wrong when I thought I was right
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
Well I could say day, you'd say night
Tell me it's black when I know that it's white
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
That's all
The song "That's All" by Genesis is a lament from a desperate lover. The opening lines seem to point towards a feeling of confusion that the singer experiences in the relationship. The lines "Just as I thought it was going alright, I find out I'm wrong when I thought I was right" highlights the confusion and inconsistency in the relationship - the ups and downs, lefts and rights. The singer seems to be struggling with their role in the relationship, as they try to understand the actions of their lover. The line "I could say day, and you'd say night, tell me it's black when I know that it's white" exemplifies the mistrust and disillusionment the singer feels towards their partner.
The song appears to be framed around the theme of "always the same, it's just a shame, that's all." Despite the struggles, the singer declares their love for their significant other saying "Truth is I love you more than I wanted to." However, it feels like the relationship is taking a toll on their emotional and mental well-being, "I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes." The singer seems trapped in the relationship despite its problems, perhaps because they believe things will improve, or because it's easier to stay than to leave.
In conclusion, "That's All" captures the difficult, and often tumultuous nature of romantic relationships, highlighting the struggles of trying to understand and trust the person you love. It shows the conflict between the head and the heart, and the many challenges people face as they navigate the journey of love.

It would have been an amazing song for the GTA 6 trailer too. I guess rockstar is just gonna surprise us someday.
@carsoncrews
Didn't expect to see you here hello
@lancecorporalrookie8321
Love your content, also, this whole gta 6 fiasco was the most down bad if u r here lol, ngl, even i found myself clicking on clickbait bcuz i want to see the trailerš
@jmwFILMS
We just want answers so bad lol. I wont be surprised though if the trailer doesn't come out until 2024/5.
@lancecorporalrookie8321
@@jmwFILMS yea, tho this might be me coping hard with hopium, but i will say if it doesnt happen, then it doesnt happen, but rn the halloween event is a bit strange, especially with them celebrating day of the dead, im hispanic and i found it a bit strange that day of the dead is ending nov 1, despite it being a 2 day event, nov1-2, i was born on nov2, but on nov 2, the 1st gtav trailer came out, conviently, its a thursday, a week b4 the investor call; to side track a bit, after the 26th, i ended up watching dark space videos, and in a part of the video, they showed the time it took for rockstar to make their games, gta4 took 3.5 yrs, gta5 took 3 yrs, rdr2 says it took 8 but i reckon it most likely took 5-6yr with a 2-3yr planning process, and we can assume it prolly took those other games around 5 years, the footage of 6 was b4 2020, what if development of the game started around 2017? If they were to release 6 next year of late 24 to early 25, it would be around 6 years of development, they did put out a game like rdr2. Another thing to note, y would rockstar release a trailer or announcement on a day everyone is expecting one, what if the days that everyone was expecting something was right, but the dates were wrong? What if they do something on nov2 thurs day, and showcase something on nov 7, conviently a tuesday, literally a day b4 T2s call? Just a thoery of mine but im gonna go with 50% hopium and 50% theyre not gonna do anything, then again, if nothing doesnt happen, we could expect a trailer early next year of 2024
