All...
United Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remember going all the way
To Oakland just to see them play?
We've come such a long way today

Got some drugs in the bathroom stall
Sneaking beer into an empty unlit hall
I sent you a postcard today
Don't mind the message

That was a good time we'll never have again
Glad to see it end

I've put some miles on these eyes
I've put some scars on these broken hands of mine
Punching walls and valentine's to you
I missed another

Gone for a year today, can't see you now




I'm leaving anyway
I'm at the bar for you waiting

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of United's song "All..." revisit the memory of a journey to Oakland to see them play, and remark on how much has changed since that time. The first stanza evokes two contrasting images, the excitement of seeing a band you love and the recklessness that often accompanies concert-going. Slang terms for illegal substances and alcoholic drinks indicate that this was more than a mere concert experience for the singer. They mention sending a postcard to someone, but the content of the message is not important, hinting at a desire to leave behind the past.


The second verse is more introspective, with the singer reflecting on the passing of time and the physical toll it can take. They describe punching walls and making valentines, perhaps alluding to past romantic relationships. The mention of a missed "another" suggests a pattern of broken connections. The singer acknowledges the fact that a year has passed since they last saw this person they seem to be addressing, but that they are leaving anyway. They have already gone to the very bar where they are hoping to see this person, underscoring their sense of urgency and possibly desperation.


Overall, the lyrics of "All..." use evocative language and a fragmented, stream-of-consciousness style to create a sense of nostalgia and longing for connection. The singer seems to be struggling with loss and a sense of dislocation, looking for some kind of anchor or touchstone in the midst of these tumultuous feelings.
