All Of Me

In 'All Of Me,' Ashes Remain delves into the raw and often contradictory nature of human existence. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with their own imperfections, doubts, and faith. The opening lines, 'I am a mess of contradictions, I am a doubter who believes,' set the stage for a deeply introspective journey. The singer acknowledges their flaws and failures, yet finds solace in the unconditional love and acceptance they receive, which is more than they can comprehend. This love invites them to come as they are, without pretense or fear of judgment.

The chorus emphasizes the theme of surrender and vulnerability. The repeated lines, 'You want my faith, you want my doubt, things I don't want to talk about,' highlight the struggle of laying bare one's innermost thoughts and feelings. The act of placing everything at the feet of a higher power, without holding back, signifies a profound trust and willingness to be seen in one's entirety. The song beautifully captures the tension between brokenness and healing, and the space in between where most of life's experiences reside.

The bridge of the song reinforces the idea of total surrender, with the lyrics, 'Everything I am, placed inside your hands.' This act of giving oneself completely, including all past experiences and future moments, underscores the transformative power of faith and acceptance. The recurring theme of being known and loved despite one's flaws is a powerful reminder of the grace that can be found in vulnerability. 'All Of Me' is a poignant exploration of the human condition, faith, and the journey towards wholeness through acceptance and love.
