All Up To Me
dustbox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The place I have spent a long time.
The place I was born.
I've felt many things and I've heard many words in this place.
All that happened around me made me grow up better.
My personality, I know vaguely...

Every time to act, a high wall stands in my way.
Every time I try to get past it, something makes me strong.

(How many borderlines are waiting for me?
It will make me happy, make me sad, make me cry...
I don't know whether it will be fine or cloudy.
'cause it's all up to me...)





My life should go well, it's all up to me!

Overall Meaning

The above lyrics in dustbox's song "All Up To Me" evoke a sense of nostalgia and introspection. The first few lines describe the singer's deep connection to the place in which they were born and raised. There is a sense of familiarity and comfort that comes from growing up in one place, a place where one has experienced many things and has learned many lessons. This place has shaped the singer's personality, although they confess that they don't fully understand themselves yet.


The second half of the lyrics deal with the challenges that the singer faces in their life. There is a high wall that stands in their way every time they try to move forward. This could be referring to a personal obstacle or a societal one, but it is clear that it poses a significant challenge to the singer. Despite this, there is also something that empowers them and gives them strength to keep trying. The refrain echoes the sentiment that ultimately, the singer's life and future is in their hands, and they are the ones responsible for their own happiness and success.


Overall, the song seems to encourage the listener to take control of their own life and not allow external forces to dictate their path. It is a call to self-reflection and empowerment, acknowledging the power of the past while also looking ahead to the future with determination and agency.
