Life Is All

Song Meaning

The lyrics paint a picture of a chaotic, almost apocalyptic event, juxtaposed with a profound sense of peace and acceptance. The opening verses describe a personal encounter, perhaps a relationship, where sins are intertwined, leading to a dramatic, almost divine intervention. The imagery of "God came down the mountainside" and "rocks were rolling" suggests a powerful, overwhelming force that ultimately fulfills a desire, leading to the chorus's declaration that "Life is all." The narrative then shifts to a more destructive scene, with "the sky was falling" and "rubble raining on the city floor." This catastrophic imagery, however, doesn't evoke despair. Instead, after the "dust finally settled down," the sound of "bells were tolling" and the arrival of the "Sun Queen" suggest a rebirth or a new beginning. The repetition of "Life is all" in the chorus and bridge reinforces a sense of totality and interconnectedness, even amidst destruction. The post-chorus and final verses offer a more introspective perspective. The idea that "All of the angels are humming" in the "sense of your heart" suggests an internal, spiritual resonance. The repeated phrase "To follow is never enough" implies a need for self-determination and the creation of one's own love, rather than passive adherence. The outro brings back the initial maternal warning, but now framed by a "state of body, state of mind" and love that "reigns across the border lines," suggesting that the chaos has resolved into a universal, encompassing peace.
