All The Time
Zara Larsson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the breaking of the day to the middle of night
From the breaking of the day to the middle of night
From the breaking of the day to the middle of night
Summertime and I'm caught in the feeling
Getting high and I'm up on the ceiling
I don't know what you're doing in New York
I'm seeing you undressed in my room
But it's just a memory, a fantasy (Fantasy)
Are you in your house? Are you going out?
Are you going crazy like me?
From the breaking of the day to the middle of the night
I try to forget about you, baby
And I die when I think of you with someone else and
I don't know why, I don't know why you're dancing in my mind
From the breaking of the day to the middle of the night
All the time
From the breaking of the day to the middle of the night
All the time
Everyone's been wearing your perfume
Everything is reminding me of you
I don't know what I'm doing in New York
But all I know is you ain't walking through the door
I'm seeing you undressed in my room
But it's just a memory, a fantasy (Fantasy)
Are you in your house? Are you going out?
Are you going crazy like me?
From the breaking of the day to the middle of the night
I try to forget about you, baby
And I die when I think of you with someone else and
I don't know why, I don't know why you're dancing in my mind
From the breaking of the day to the middle of the night
I try to forget about you, baby
And I die when I think of you with someone else and
I don't know why, I don't know why you're dancing in my mind
From the breaking of the day to the middle of the night (Yeah)
And I wonder if you think about me, too
Where we used to go, what we used to do
And I wonder if you're crying out inside, oh yeah
(From the breaking of the day to the middle of the night)
(From the breaking of the day to the middle of the night)
(From the breaking of the day to the middle of the night)
I try to forget about you, baby (I try)
And I die when I think of you with someone else and
I don't know why (I don't know why)
I don't know why you're dancing in my mind (Yeah)
From the breaking of the day to the middle of the night
I try to forget about you, baby (Baby, baby)
And I die when I think of you with someone else and
I don't know why, I don't know why you're dancing in my mind
From the breaking of the day to the middle of the night
All the time
From the breaking of the day to the middle of the night
All the time
From the breaking of the day to the middle of the night
The lyrics to Zara Larsson's "All The Time" describe the feelings of longing and nostalgia for a lost love. The song opens with a repetition of the line "From the breaking of the day to the middle of night," suggesting that the singer is constantly thinking about this person both day and night. The summertime setting adds to the sense of languor and longing, as the singer feels caught up in the emotions that surround memories of the lost love.
The second verse explains that the singer is constantly reminded of this person, with everything from the scent of their perfume to the sights of the city of New York reminding her of them. Despite these constant reminders, the person is not physically present, and the singer is left with only memories and fantasies of them.
The chorus expresses the difficulty the singer is having moving on, even though the person is no longer in her life. She tries to forget about them, but thoughts of them still fill her mind, even when she's alone at night. The bridge poses the question of whether the other person is also thinking about her, and suggests that they may be experiencing similar feelings of longing and sadness.
Overall, "All The Time" is a poignant exploration of lost love and the difficulty of moving on. The repetition of the phrase "From the breaking of the day to the middle of night" creates a sense of rhythm that mirrors the singer's constant thoughts of the person, and the summertime setting adds to the sense of wistfulness and nostalgia.
Line by Line Meaning
From the breaking of the day to the middle of night
Constantly, all day and night, without interruption
Summertime and I'm caught in the feeling
It's summer and I'm overwhelmed with emotions
Getting high and I'm up on the ceiling
I feel euphoric and elevated
I don't know what you're doing in New York
I don't know where you are or what you're doing
All I know is you ain't on my bedroom floor
I know you're not physically with me
I'm seeing you undressed in my room
I'm remembering intimate moments we shared
But it's just a memory, a fantasy (Fantasy)
It's not real, just a figment of my imagination
Are you in your house? Are you going out?
I wonder if you're at home or if you're going out
Are you going crazy like me?
I wonder if you're also feeling overwhelmed with emotions like I am
I try to forget about you, baby
I attempt to move on and forget about you
And I die when I think of you with someone else and
I feel immense emotional pain when I imagine you with someone else
I don't know why, I don't know why you're dancing in my mind
I don't understand why you're constantly on my mind
Everyone's been wearing your perfume
I smell your scent on others
Everything is reminding me of you
Anything and everything is triggering memories of you
And I wonder if you think about me, too
I wonder if you also have me on your mind
Where we used to go, what we used to do
I reminisce about the places we went and the things we did together
And I wonder if you're crying out inside, oh yeah
I wonder if you're also hurting emotionally
All the time
Constantly, without exception

This song is criminally underrated. It's so catchy. And addictive. I listen to this on a continuous loop while writing for hours and never get tired of it.
