All I Ever Do

De/Vision's song "All I Ever Do" delves into the emotional turmoil of a relationship that is falling apart. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who is caught in a cycle of self-sabotage and emotional withdrawal. The repeated phrase "All I ever do" suggests a pattern of behavior where the protagonist distances themselves from their partner, indicating a sense of inevitability in the relationship's decline. This theme is further emphasized by the imagery of love "destined to decay," highlighting the transient nature of their connection.

The song explores the internal conflict of the protagonist, who acknowledges the pain they cause their partner but feels compelled to leave. The line "I promised the world to you" reflects the initial hope and commitment in the relationship, which has now turned into regret and unfulfilled promises. The protagonist's actions, such as "packing my bag and walk out on you," symbolize a desire for change and a search for something new, even if it means causing pain to their partner.

The lyrics also touch on themes of escapism and self-destruction. The protagonist dreams of a place "where skies were never blue," suggesting a longing for an idealized world that doesn't exist. This desire to escape reality is coupled with a sense of self-loathing, as seen in the line "I pour my hate all over you." The song captures the complexity of human emotions in relationships, where love and pain are intertwined, and the struggle to let go is both a personal and shared experience.
