ALL THE TIME
STRANGEHUMAN
The Intoxicating Allure of Love and Music
The song "ALL THE TIME" by strangehuman appears to be a complex interplay of love, desire, and the potentially destructive elements that can accompany them. The hook, which repeats the phrase 'I can hit you all the time, and make it feel like you just fell in love,' suggests a powerful, almost addictive influence that the singer has over someone else. This could be interpreted as the singer's ability to evoke intense feelings of love and passion consistently. The repetition emphasizes the constancy and intensity of these emotions.
The lyrics include a mix of English and Spanish, adding a multicultural dimension to the song. The Spanish verses, which translate to questions about being busy at work and offers to come over after 4:00 AM, hint at a clandestine and possibly illicit relationship. The mention of 'fajos' (bundles of money) raining down and waiting all night adds to the theme of excess and indulgence. The reference to cocaine in the social circle and the warning not to get close for fear of being hurt suggests a dangerous allure and the potential for harm in this intense dynamic.
The song also touches on themes of regret and the inability to change the past, as well as the pain that can come from a relationship that is difficult to end. The singer acknowledges their own vulnerability and the 'thorns' that prevent progress, which could be a metaphor for the challenges and defenses that complicate relationships. The promise to work on the next song for the person indicates a dedication to their craft and perhaps the use of music as a means to express and cope with these complex emotions.
