All Or Nothing
The Hypstrz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But now I see you don't hear a thing
Got to make you see how it's got to be
Yes if it's all right
All or nothing yeah yeah
All or nothing
All or nothing for me
Things could work out just like I want them to
If I could have the other half of you
That's all I would if I only could
Is to say
All or nothing oh yeah
All or nothing if I could I'd say
All or nothing for me
Pa pa pa pa ta pa pa pa ta ta
Pa pa pa pa ta pa pa pa ta ta
I ain't telling you no lie girl
So don't just sit there and cry girl
All or nothing (oh no)
All or nothing (oh yeah)
All or nothing (gotta gotta gotta keep on tryin')
All or nothing
(For me, for me, for me we're not children)
The Hypstrz's song "All or Nothing" is a plea for someone to commit fully or cut ties completely. The lyrics express a desire for a relationship or connection that is wholehearted and unambiguous. The singer laments that even though they thought their partner would hear their reasoning, they realize that they're not being heard. The repetition of the phrase 'all or nothing' throughout the lyrics is a clear indication that the singer wants their partner to make a choice, to either commit entirely or break free so that they can move on.
In the second verse, the singer appears to be contemplating a different reality where their relationship could work out if only their partner would reciprocate their feelings. However, they acknowledge that they cannot force anyone to love them and implores them to choose between the two options. The song's bridge has the singer proclaiming that they are being honest and that they want their partner to understand that it is all or nothing.
Overall, the song encapsulates the frustration and anxiety that comes with being stuck in a relationship or situationship where the future is unclear, and the other person refuses to make a decision. The song has a catchy chorus that expresses a clear message that is both relatable and poignant.
