All Because of You Lyrics

I was born a child of grace Nothing else about the place Everything was ugly but your beautiful face And it left me no illusion I saw you in the curve of the moon In the shadow cast across my room You heard me in my tune When I just heard confusion All because of you All because of you All because of you I am... I am I like the sound of my own voice I didn't give anyone else a choice An intellectual tortoise Racing with your bullet train Some people get squashed crossing the tracks Some people got high rises on their backs I'm not broke but you can see the cracks You can make me perfect again All because of you All because of you All because of you I am... I am I'm alive I'm being born I just arrived, I'm at the door Of the place I started out from And I want back inside All because of you All because of you All because of you I am

Meaning of All Because of You

“All Because of You” is a deeply personal exploration of dependence and transformation fueled by an overwhelming love. The lyrics depict a journey from confusion and imperfection to a yearning for wholeness, entirely defined by the presence of this captivating figure. Born “a child of grace,” the narrator’s world was initially bleak until illuminated by this person's beauty, becoming utterly consumed and reliant on their influence. It’s a frantic race – a ‘tortoise’ striving with a ‘bullet train’ – reflecting the intense desire to be molded and perfected. Despite possessing some advantages, cracks appear, highlighting the vulnerability of needing this other person to restore balance. The repeated “All because of you” underscores the absolute dependence and the profound sense of rebirth, ultimately seeking return to the source of their existence, a desperate wish to simply "be" once more, fully alive thanks to this singular connection.
