The Arrows Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I scream I scream
"Then maybe I, then maybe I can believe"
How much convincing do I really need
After everything that's already been
This master craft of certainty
Being so sure of what I cannot see
It's another kind of frequency
And now my faith it over rides
The clockworks of my mind
As I throw my caution into Your winds
It's some other adrenalin
Not everything is understood
Oh merely with a brain
Although I wish it could
But hope knows it all too well
Just sitting unafraid on this carousel
As my faith it over rides
The clockworks of my mind
As I throw my caution into Your winds
It's some other adrenalin
Cause I'm all in and there's nothing that I can do
But hold my breath while I am waiting here for you
I'll be sitting on your promise like a stubborn mule
Just the flip of Your switch and we'll all be through
Cause I'm all in tell me what are You gonna do
When all of my hopes in You.
The Arrows' song "All In" is a powerful ballad that delves into the complexities of faith and trust. The first verse begins with the singer pleading for a sign. They express their desperation for some kind of proof, something that will make them believe. The chorus follows, with the singer acknowledging the difficulty of fully committing to their beliefs in the face of uncertainty. They speak of a "master craft of certainty" that is elusive, and mention "throwing caution to the winds" as an act of faith. The second verse continues the theme of grappling with the unknown, with the lines "Not everything is understood / Oh merely with a brain." The singer seems to be acknowledging the limitations of reason and rationality when it comes to matters of faith.
The bridge of the song introduces "adrenalin" as a force that helps fuel the singer's devotion, and again emphasizes the power of faith to override doubt and fear. The final chorus brings the song to a climax, with the singer declaring that they are "all in," fully committed to their faith despite the uncertainty and risk involved. The final lines suggest an acceptance of whatever may come, trusting in a higher power to guide the way.
