Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You taking a test and you feel scared
Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'
With a deep cold fear you may be found scared all the time
Scared all the time
Scared all the time
Scared all the time
You can't make up your mind because you're scared all the time
Scared all the time
Scared all the time
Scared all the time
(Scared all the time)
(Scared all the time)
(There's a great chance)
(You're runnin' away)
(Scared all the time)
(Scared all the time)
(There's a great chance)
(You might succeed)
(Scared all the time)
(Scared all the time)
(There's a great chance)
(You're runnin' away)
(Scared all the time)
(You never learnt to sacrifice your pride)
(There's a great chance you're runnin' away)
(You never learnt to sacrifice your pride)
(There's a great chance you're runnin' away)
(You never learnt to sacrifice your pride)
(There's a great chance you're runnin' away)
(You never learnt to sacrifice your pride) Sacrifice your price
(There's a great chance you're runnin' away)
You never learnt to sacrifice your pride
Cos you always seem so uptight
When you have to make a decision your pride
Causes you a lot of confusion
Playin' around with your mind
Scared all the time
Scared all the time (Scared all the time scared all the time)
(There's a big chance) Scared all the time
(You're runnin' away)
(Scared all the time scared all the time)
(There's a big chance) Scared all the time
(You might succeed)
You're runnin' away runnin' away (Scared all the time scared all the time)
Runnin' away runnin' away (There's a big chance)
(Scared all the time)
Raising your race with marijuana
Faintly hoping it will boost your morale
Runnin' runnin' runnin'
If you listen to this song
You'll find yourself
Back to face the idol, scared all the time
Scared all the time
Scared all the time
Scared all the time, you never learnt to sacrifice (You never learnt to sacrifice your pride)
Your pride (There's a great chance you're runnin' away) ????
(You never learnt to sacrifice your pride) ?????
(There's a great chance you're runnin' away)
Scared all the time (You never learnt to sacrifice your pride)
Scared all the time (There's a great chance you're runnin' away)
Imagine living like a mouse
You take your test and you feel scared
Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'
With a deep cold fear you may be found scared all the time
Scared all the time
There's a great chance yo might succeed
You can't make up your mind because you're scared
When you have to make a decision
You're scared all the time (Scared all the time)
Scared all the time (Runnin' away)
Runnin', runnin' runnin'
(Scared all the time) And I'm telling you Bongi
(Runnin' away)
Olibala
(Scared all the time) Scared all the time
(Runnin' away) Runnin' runnin' scared all the time scared all the time
Scared all the time
(Scared all the time scared all the time)
Scared all the time (There's a great chance you're runnin' away)
Running away (Scared all the time scared all the time)
(There's a great chance you might succeed)
(Scared all the time)
The lyrics of "All the Time" by Zach Wolfe & the Coyotes delve into feelings of fear, apprehension, and indecision that often plague individuals as they navigate life's challenges. The mention of living like a mouse and feeling scared when faced with a test sets the stage for a metaphorical journey where the singer is constantly running away from their fears. The repetition of "scared all the time" emphasizes the pervasive nature of these feelings and suggests a sense of being trapped in a cycle of anxiety and uncertainty.
The lyrics also touch upon the struggle between the desire to succeed and the overwhelming fear that holds the singer back. The line "There's a great chance that you might succeed" juxtaposed with the recurring theme of being scared all the time highlights the internal conflict within the individual. The inability to make decisions due to fear further intensifies the sense of being stuck in a state of constant apprehension and hesitation.
The verse about sacrificing pride adds another layer to the narrative, suggesting that the singer's ego and reluctance to let go of their self-image hinder their ability to move forward. This inability to sacrifice pride leads to confusion and inner turmoil, reinforcing the theme of being scared all the time. The repetition of this sentiment underscores the persistent struggle the singer faces in breaking free from their fears.
The final verses introduce the idea of using substances like marijuana to cope with fear and boost morale, hinting at escapism as a temporary solution to the singer's inner turmoil. However, the song ultimately circles back to the core theme of facing one's fears and not succumbing to the trap of perpetual anxiety. The closing lines bring the narrative full circle, highlighting the cyclical nature of fear and the constant battle to confront and overcome it.
