All my life
Tobias Regner Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walkin' down the streets there's
No place to go to and nobody I know
The sunshine's in my face burnin' up my
Thoughts some kind of hell I'm caught

All my life they let me choose and I was free
All my life I had the chance to make me see

Walkin' down the street

I don't know where to go I won't be alone
You know me better than I do, I belong to you

Overall Meaning

In Tobias Regner's song "All My Life," he vividly expresses the feeling of being lost and alone. The first verse opens with him walking down the streets with nowhere to go and nobody to turn to. The bright sunshine seems to be mocking him as he feels trapped in a personal hell, overwhelmed by his thoughts. The use of sensory language is evident as he describes the sun burning up his thoughts, intensifying his distress.

However, the second verse brings a sense of comfort and belonging as he acknowledges his connection to someone else. He still doesn't know where to go, but he won't be alone because he understands that whoever he belongs to knows him better than he knows himself. This opening up highlights the potential of trusting in others to guide and support us during our most challenging times.

Line by Line Meaning

Walkin' down the streets there's
I'm wandering aimlessly with no specific destination in mind

No place to go to and nobody I know
There is nowhere that I need to be and I don't have any companionship

The sunshine's in my face burnin' up my
The heat from the sun is making me uncomfortable

Thoughts some kind of hell I'm caught
My thoughts are consuming me and I feel trapped in my own mind

All my life they let me choose and I was free
Throughout my life, I have had the ability to make my own decisions and have been given freedom

All my life I had the chance to make me see
I've always had the opportunity to discover who I am and what I want in life

Walkin' down the street
Continuing to wander without a purpose

I don't know where to go I won't be alone
Although I am directionless, I am confident that I won't be alone

You know me better than I do, I belong to you
Someone else, probably a significant other or higher power, understands me better than I understand myself and I am beholden to them
