All My Life
The Hit Crew Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day

When it comes around and it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost

Calm down don't you resist
You've such a delicate wrist
And if I give it a twist
Something to hold when I lose my grip
Will I find something in there
To give me just what I need
Another reason to bleed
One by one hidden up my sleeve
Don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste

Weight keepin' me down
Will I find a believer
Another one who believes
Another one to deceive
Over and over down on my knees

If I get any closer
And if you open up wide
And if you let me inside




On and on I've got nothing to hide
Then I'm done done on to the next one

Line by Line Meaning

All my life I've been searching for something
Throughout my entire existence, I have been trying to find a particular thing


Something never comes never leads to nothing
Despite my efforts, that thing has never materialized, and thus leads to nothing


Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Although nothing has fulfilled me so far, I am gradually getting closer to what I seek


Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
I am getting closer to the ultimate goal that is at the end of a long, difficult journey


All night long I dream of the day
I spend endless nights dreaming of the day when my search will finally come to an end


When it comes around and it's taken away
But when I finally find what I seek, it is often taken away from me


Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
This causes me to feel the strongest emotions


Feel it come to life when I see your ghost
However, when I see your ghost, I feel alive again


Calm down don't you resist
Please relax and do not fight against what is happening


You've such a delicate wrist
Your wrist is so fragile and vulnerable


And if I give it a twist
If I give it a quick turn


Something to hold when I lose my grip
This will give me something to hold onto when I am about to lose my grip


Will I find something in there
Will I discover something valuable inside there


To give me just what I need
That will give me precisely what I need


Another reason to bleed
Another cause to suffer and endure pain


One by one hidden up my sleeve
I have several tricks up my sleeve, one after the other


Don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste
I do not want to waste it, although I cannot say I enjoy it


Weight keepin' me down
This thing is weighing me down


Will I find a believer
Will I meet someone who shares my beliefs


Another one who believes
Someone else who also thinks the way I do


Another one to deceive
Another person to trick or betray


Over and over down on my knees
Repeatedly humbled and brought to my knees


If I get any closer
If I come any nearer to you


And if you open up wide
And if you open up yourself completely


And if you let me inside
And if you allow me to enter your innermost being


On and on I've got nothing to hide
I can keep going without holding anything back


Then I'm done done on to the next one
Once that phase is completed, I move on to the next one
