Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All my life
All I wanted was to shine
All my life
I just wanted to be higher
All my life
I had lucifer desires
Now that I'm alone
I can smoke up all the briar

I think I think
I can think for myself
I think I think
I'm becoming myself
I think I think
I can think for myself
I think I think
I'm becoming myself

Fuck time
Watch this
I been actin' like a myth
They aint tracking me for shit
They feel bad I don't exist
Until the pack within
Then I decimate
Then I let em hang
Then they start to pray
Pop up out of the ground demand you sing

I think I think
I can think for myself
I think I think
I'm becoming myself
I think I think
I can think for myself
I think I think
I'm becoming myself

I just walked to work an quit
Cus its an aries thing
Shame I barely feel
Cus nothin do embarrass me
Want two of everything
2 Beds, 2 deaths
But no regret
3 Tabs, no xans
Time to let it out

I think I think

Overall Meaning

The U.S. Navy Seabees's song "All My Life" is a song about the desire to stand out and be higher than others. The lyrics describe the singer's desire to shine and express their individuality. The lyrics use the metaphorical image of Lucifer desires, which can be interpreted as the desire to be like the devil, who is seen as powerful, rebellious, and individualistic. The singer goes on to describe their sense of isolation and how they can fill their time by smoking "all the briar" now that they are alone.

The verse "I think I think, I can think for myself" is repeated several times throughout the song, which suggests that the singer is trying to break free from the constraints of society and establish their own identity. The line "Fuck time, watch this" is an expression of rebellion and the desire to break free from the constraints of time. The singer claims to be a myth, someone so unique and individualistic that they can evade detection. When they do reveal themselves, they are so powerful that others start to pray to them.

Overall, "All My Life" is a song about the desire to stand out and be unique. The lyrics describe the struggle to break free from societal constraints and the embrace of individuality. The lyrics are filled with references to rebellion, power, and isolation, which creates a sense of darkness and edginess to the song.

Throughout my entire existence

All I wanted was to shine
I desired recognition and success

All my life
Since the beginning of my life

I just wanted to be higher
I longed to be better, to rise above my circumstances

All my life
From birth till now

I had lucifer desires
I was driven by the same desires that motivated Lucifer to rebel against God

Now that I'm alone
Since I am now isolated from the world

I can smoke up all the briar
I can indulge in my vices without restraint

I think I think
I am sufficiently self-aware to introspect and make my own decisions

I'm becoming myself

They feel bad I don't exist
They regret my lack of presence in their lives

Until the pack within
But when my allies come together

Then I decimate
Then I destroy my opposition

Then I let em hang
Then I leave their remains on display

Then they start to pray
Then my opponents resort to religion for hope

Pop up out of the ground demand you sing
I surprise my enemies, and demand their submission

I just walked to work an quit
I recently resigned from my job

Cus its an aries thing
Due to my astrological sign of Aries

Shame I barely feel
I hardly experience any sense of wrongdoing

Cus nothin do embarrass me
Because I am not easily embarrassed

Want two of everything
I desire excess and abundance

2 Beds, 2 deaths
Two beds and two deaths, indicating a preference for double of everything even in death

But no regret
I do not regret my choices

3 Tabs, no xans
I consume three tabs, but not xanax

Time to let it out
It is time to express myself

Makes me miss my neighbor Jerry, he passed away two years ago at 105 years old. He was part of the original Seabee battalion. Used to love to sit and talk with him for hours. RIP Jerry. You are deeply missed.

Anyone in the know has a huge amount of respect for Seabees. They are the very first guys out to the battlefield essentially, and have to build a base or FOB or forward position, from scratch, in addition to fighting off any enemies in the area. Which when you're some of the first people to the place where the bad guys are, there's going to be a lot of bad guys. In Iraq and Afghanistan, these guys were getting into firefights with the enemy all the time. And back in WW2, Korea and Vietnam they were in real deep. Things get real hairy for them sometimes, and instead of calling in the infantry and hiding, they fight the enemy head on. They might be the most unique job in the US military, because it's like a construction crew that also are also active combatants and fight the enemy at the same time. They are some hard, badass mofos.

My father told me that after the island was softened up by naval bombardment as soon as the Marines had established a beach head, landing craft with heavy equipment (I think mainly dozers) would be landed with Seabees driving that equipment towards the already established airfield or to the location where the battle commanders wanted the new air strip so they would do what we know of today as "up-armor" their dozers. They just welded steel plate everywhere they could to get shielding from snipers. There was great urgency to get an airfield of some sort established because once that was done they could start landing more troops and supplies as rapidly as possible. They were plowing down trees or repairing bomb craters while the battle was still going on. The brass wanted that airfield to happen asap. That's my best recollection of what he told me many years ago. He didn't talk about the war much but he did seem to want me to know something about what he had experienced. He never talked about anyone he knew dying but of course he must have experienced that many times.
He told me that he went along with some guys one night who were taking boats out at night to find swimming Japanese soldiers and shoot them in the water. It's nearly impossible to survive on a tropical island and within a few days after the island was taken the surviving Japanese soldiers were starving and were desperate to get off of that island and onto the one nearby in hopes that things would be better there. They probably knew that the Americans were hop scotching across the pacific and were skipping most of the islands, taking only the ones with the best terrain for an airfield. The establishment of a chain of airfields was a cornerstone of the drive across the Pacific.
So, he went in the boat with the other guys and he told me long ago that he was sorry he'd gone along and never went again.
War is hell.

Both of my parents were WW2 Navy Veterans. My father would be 110 years old if he were still alive. He was a Seabee all over the Pacific and my mother was a Wave and worked in the office of Naval Intelligence. I'm very proud to be the son of two WW2 Navy Veterans. Go Seabees!

@Tom Lom I'm not a bee by rate, but more by fate. ACB commands are I know of the community but it has been a part of my time in service for almost 10 years. Change is everywhere across the fleet, but Bee's won't disappoint. Will only get out what you out into it. So if your not hesitant to get dirty, working with your hands, respect and command CSW and personal weapons and own whatever you are apart of I can't imagine you won't fly in one of the 8 ratings.
Considering your coming from Nuke ratings they will push for EA I assume as a smarter Sailor, but so your research and once you jump into one don't look back. Wish you the best going forward shipmate.

This brings back lots of memories of my time as an EO in the Seabees 1983-1989 This exercise reminds me of Operation Green Stinger which was a two week field training event for our Air Detachment which back then was a 90 person team, we flew fly into Eglin AFB, then convoyed into a rural part of the base and set up a base to operate from until the rest of the battalion arrived, the Air Force were the aggressors, and We were graded on our responses to the various threats and senecios they placed before us, our construction project was to repair a dirt runway the Air Force used for training and to dig a well for the site, and clear back the woods and brush from the runway.
While we were blessed not to have any rain, we were struggled with the heat, humidity, and waves of mosquitoes that plagued us. While our gear and equipment were a lot different back then, M16-a1, rifles, 782 Web Gear, old duce and half’s trucks, and the cold war was still going strong as we trained to fight Russia and it’s Warsaw Pact Allies, it still goes to show that everything changes, but in a way it’s still the same, We build, We fight,

I’m currently looking for what job I want to do in the navy. I’m getting ready to sign but I wanted to do one last check and I’m glad I did. This seems like a perfect fit for me, it reminds me of scouts but with guns as well. Seems like the perfect place to start my military career

Robert Cuminale

I was never in a battalion. I worked for the telephone company before I joined the Navy in 1971. I soent the four years in public works departments. I worked in the telephone exchange, the water treatment plant, sewage treatment plant. I was a clerk for a while doing all the paperwork, manpower scheduling with the civilian workforce, job inspections, et. It was a very good experience. After I got out I went bac to Ma Bell. After AT&T was broken up I was laid off in 1985 I started a business in communications equipment which lasted 32 years until I retired. I was offered a 105 week course in telecommunications with the Army Signal Corps and a $30K reenlistment bonus. The wife said no. If I hadn't had the job to go bac to I would probably have stayed. There was a recession going on with high inflation in 1975. I had a 14% mortgage. The Signal Corps school would have been a huge plus in my resume. I talked to a couple guys who had had it and they were assigned to the State Department Pentagon and embassies. I did stay with a reserve battalion after I got out but after I was laid off there wasn't time for it with self employment.

Working in that public works department was very helpful because it prepared me for self employment with inventory management, manpower distribution and other management skills. I also bought and sold houses.

I recently found a cool bomber jacket with the Seabees on them and it looked cool so i bought it. I thought that the least i could do was research them a little. I will proudly wear that jacket now that i know what you guys do and have done. My grandpa was in the danish navy and he was a helicopter mechanic, so i get that not all navy is on the sea.

@TennesseeCurtiss thanks for the tip my dad would most likely go with me. He was a corpsman for 20 year until not to long ago

TennesseeCurtiss

@Broke Fisherman make sure you have someone who was in the military or currently in the military go in with you as well so you don’t get fucked over by your recruiter. There a lot more regulated now though and aren’t allowed to bend the truth anymore so it shouldn’t be to bad. My dad got fucked over when he joined in 86 but that recruiter was also heavily demoted after the fact.

TennesseeCurtiss

@Broke Fisherman talk to a recruiter. I ship off late June, I want to get into NMCB-27 Expeditionary, my dad was an Aviation Mechanic 1986-1990 NMCB-26 1990-1998. If you wanna weld be an SW (Steelworker). I’ve been welding since I was 14 I’m 18 and a senior now. I’m pretty experienced in mig and stick applications and after I get out I’m gonna do pipeline. Really if your already good at welding I’d recommend you do something else such as a BU (builder) or a CM (construction mechanic) work with diesels, gas, hydraulics, pneumatics etc. Soak in as much training as you can possibly get, the Seabees are without a doubt the best job in the whole military when it comes to teaching you skills you can use to succeed when you decide to go back to civilian life or you can do 20 years and retire, receive pension, benefits etc. If I’m not mistaken I think you can get certified for welding by the Navy as well.

Broke Fisherman

When he gets back could you ask him if there is much welding in the Seabees? I would like to join when I am older but I don't know what I would like to do. Welding is something I enjoy doing so if they do often then that might be what I want to try to get into when it comes time.

Most underrated jobs in the military could be the construction teams, involved in creating those strategic points on the battlefield that supplements defensive positions, in turn winning the skirmish if everything falls into place accordingly. another thing I'd like to add is why did the military start to use overweight, underweight and disabled people? my guess is over the last century all of the strong abled soldiers are now KIA.. God rest their souls.

We are all technically overweight or underweight.

Robert Cuminale

@bmx7596 In 1971 I was the first Construction Apprentice to leave Orlando boot camp out of 146 companies of recruits. By coincidence my Company Commander was a UT1, the first Seabee to be a Company Commander at Orlando. My uniforms were delayed almost two weeks because there were no blue stripes in stock. I didn't even want to be a Seabee. I wanted to be a Interior Communications Electrician. I was working for Ma Bell before I joined the Navy. I'd also worked in tool and die shop and a sheet metal shop while in high school. I had a perfect score on the tools test as well as the foreign languages and electronics tests. I was offered a lot of rates that required a six year enlistment including the SEALS but I turned them down. I wanted to go back to the telephone company after my enlistment was up. I got out as a CE2.

Message to all active duty and reservists, you can claim job related purchases as a tax deduction. List may include the following job related gear such as boots, socks, uniforms, yes haircuts are a tax deduction so long as you have receipts, weapons such as knives, accessories to your M4A1, running shoes, cell phone contract up to 80% (legal reason, your boss texts you even a single time you have now used your personal owned electronic device for business use) the other 20% is personal regardless if you don’t have personal time for it. Continuing on, driving someone to and from a military location with your POV when not being paid by the military. Need more examples!? Too easy, read your state laws in regards to tax deduction or ask a tax preparer for a list. Good luck out there shipmates!

@D Fitness You have such a great attitude you can't help but succeed in anything you do. The Navy is lucky to have you. I'm jealous just imagining the great career you're about to start. One of my greatest regrets is that I didn't join the Navy when I could have. Good for you!

@PendeltonWhiskey haha, i changed my youtube name and pfp to make this more of a fitness/navy channel for people who have questions abt the seabees. I have 17 days left till I leave. I've been living in the gym and getting myself ready for what's to come as a seabee! Will give further updates on this channel as I get more into the career :)

@Lovę Zzz Hey, how about an update. Don't be a stranger

@ray magana Jan. 8th is when I secured the job, but my recruiter told me if I didn’t have the job I wanted, they’d keep trying up until my ship out date

Hey, former U.S. Army soldier here and what is the difference between a Navy Seal and Seabee?

Seabees build it up, Seals blow it up.

I leave for RTC Feb 1. Managed to get Builder on my "contract". Still nervous if I "have what it takes".

Tommy Seabee

Not all Bees are in the NCF. I met a CE that spent his first enlistment working on Base with a local Electrician in Italy. I met a BU in San Diego that was attached to some bizarre environmental assessment unit. Most of the Seabee Purple Heart recipients I met were from NSW Commands. Look up Marvin Shields.

@Jpew2007 join the army or marines if you want to see the action or combat. Seabees are just trained to defend themselves and only do offensive if necessary

Jpew2007

@Darren Sandstrom thank for all that. Sorry I kept pestering you with questions. Like I said I am just nervous about what the future holds with me in the navy. Unlike the 17-18 year olds who are enlisting I'm older and more aware of my own mortality and capabilities. But now I'm feeling more ready, maybe even gung ho.

Darren Sandstrom

@Jpew2007 no not in my experiences that never happened! Most of the camps like that had small airstrips with no need to convoy

Jpew2007

@Darren Sandstrom alright one more question and then I'll stop bothering you. Did you guys ever get into danger when you were "driving" to wherever you were going? I've heard so many horror stories about enlisted personnel being killed/maimed and mentally scarred by IEDs and ambushes that I'm nervous about being in any sort of vehicle.

There are A LOT of mistakes and typos in this documentary and I am only 2 minutes in. It's "hostile", not "hostil". BUs or Builders are not in Alpha Company OR ALFA Company, they are in Charlie Company. You have listed a BU1 speaking when really they are a BU3. And it is an Air Det or Air Detachment, not Air Department. Did anyone check this out before publishing???

Mike Vincent

That was the first thing I noticed, BU in Alpha company

IIRC, these are done 3rd hand by contract marketing splicing together clips including QC. They're not familiar with terminology usually.
