All Love

FLETCHER's song 'All Love' delves into the complex emotions of heartache, nostalgia, and acceptance. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a past relationship that began with friendship and evolved into something deeper, only to end with the other person moving on. The singer reminisces about the good times they shared, such as late nights in taxi cabs and house parties, and laments the things left unsaid. This sense of regret is palpable, especially when the ex-partner is now with someone else, and the singer is forced to confront this new reality.

The chorus reveals the singer's struggle to cope with the pain of seeing their former lover happy with someone else. The metaphor of taking shots of novocaine to numb the heart and brain highlights the desperation to escape the emotional turmoil. Despite the intense feelings of jealousy and sadness, the singer repeatedly asserts that 'it's all love,' suggesting a reluctant acceptance of the situation. This phrase serves as a coping mechanism, a way to mask the true depth of their hurt while trying to maintain a facade of composure.

The song also touches on the awkwardness and discomfort of social interactions post-breakup. The ex-partner introduces the new lover as the singer stands by, pretending to be just an old friend. This scenario is further complicated by the new lover's resemblance to the singer, adding another layer of emotional complexity. The repeated line 'I say I'm doing fine but I'm lying' underscores the internal conflict and the difficulty of moving on. 'All Love' captures the raw, unfiltered emotions that come with seeing someone you once loved with someone new, and the painful yet necessary journey towards acceptance.
