All You See

Kino's song 'All You See' delves into the complexities of self-reflection, emotional struggle, and the passage of time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with their past, symbolized by 'skating on the ice of yesterday.' This metaphor suggests a delicate balance and the risk of falling through, representing the fragility of dealing with past experiences. The recurring question of whether one can 'let it be despite everything' highlights the difficulty of moving on from past mistakes or regrets.

The chorus brings forth a poignant inquiry into the value of one's emotions and actions. 'All you see and all you feel and all that you give' questions whether these efforts are meaningful or wasted. This introspection is further emphasized by the lines 'Am I still wasting?' and 'Can we still feel?' which suggest a deep-seated uncertainty about the worth of one's emotional investments and the ability to continue feeling deeply. The repetition of 'stop the noise in my head' underscores the internal chaos and the desire for mental peace.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of self-persecution and the struggle to accept sorrow as a natural part of life. The lyrics 'Persecute yourself for no such crime' and 'Sorrow is a word and not a crime' reflect the internal conflict of feeling guilty for one's emotions. The idea that sorrow is a 'passing phase' to be held onto rather than feared suggests a more accepting and compassionate approach to one's emotional journey. Kino's reflective and introspective style in 'All You See' encourages listeners to confront their inner turmoil and find a way to navigate through it with understanding and acceptance.
