All Hands on Deck
Tinashe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All in the front all in the back just like that, like that
I'mma blow your mind take it out on the floor like that, like that
All in the front all in the back just like that, like that
I'mma blow your mind like that
Wasted hard
When you left me, you left me with no choice
I'm looking for a boy to fill this empty void
Kiss the old me goodbye she's dead and gone, dead and gone, oh
Wasted hard
You took the last bit of love I've ever had
You took a good girl and you turned me oh so bad
Kiss the old me goodbye she's dead and gone, dead and gone, oh
All hands on deck
All in the front all in the back just like that, like that
I'mma blow your mind take it out on the floor like that, like that
All in the front all in the back just like that, like that
I'mma blow your mind like that
All hands on deck
All in the front all in the back just like that, like that
I'mma blow your mind take it out on the floor like that, like that
All in the front all in the back just like that, like that
I'mma blow your mind like that
Wasted hard
Done this to death do us apart
I watch you fold like a house of cards
Kiss the old me goodbye she's dead and gone dead and gone dead and gone
One by one, I watch you fall down, watch you fall like dominoes
Take no prisoners, search and destroy
Baby look at what you've done
One by one, I watch 'em go down, watch 'em fall like dominoes
Watch 'em go down, watch 'em go down, watch 'em go down
All hands on deck
All in the front all in the back just like that, like that
I'mma blow your mind take it out on the floor like that, like that
All in the front all in the back just like that, like that
I'mma blow your mind like that
And you know that I tried
Really gave my all
Everything we built
Baby you let it fall, you let it fall
And now you want me
Want me back now
And the thing that's so funny
Cause baby I'm long gone, I'm long gone
All hands on deck
All in the front all in the back just like that, like that
I'mma blow your mind take it out on the floor like that, like that
All in the front all in the back just like that, like that
I'mma blow your mind like that
All hands on deck
All in the front all in the back just like that, like that
I'mma blow your mind take it out on the floor like that, like that
All in the front all in the back just like that, like that
I'mma blow your mind like that
The lyrics to Tinashe’s hit song “All Hands On Deck” speak of a girl who was left by her former lover and is now seeking to fill the void he left behind. The girl is empowered and determined to move on with her life even as she acknowledges the hurt that she has experienced. She sings about leaving a part of herself behind and moving forward, seeking to shake off the remnants of the past and start afresh.
The chorus of the song, “All hands on deck, all in the front all in the back just like that, like that, I'mma blow your mind take it out on the floor like that, like that,” speaks of a woman who is confident and in control. It seems as though she is commanding her audience to join her, to dance with her and to let the music take over. The lyrics could also be interpreted as a message to her former lover, telling him that she is moving on and that he should get ready to be blown away by her success.
Overall, the song is a powerful anthem of self-empowerment, strength and resilience in the face of heartbreak.
