All Night

Mishlawi's 'All Night' is a poignant exploration of contrasts and inner turmoil, set against the backdrop of a relationship marked by geographical and emotional divides. The recurring theme of being from different sides—'I was from the city, she was from the outside'—serves as a metaphor for the broader differences that can exist between people. This geographical divide symbolizes not just physical distance but also emotional and cultural gaps that can be challenging to bridge. The repetition of this line underscores the persistent nature of these differences and the impact they have on the narrator's emotional state.

The song delves deeper into the narrator's personal struggles, revealing a battle with self-confidence and mental health. Lines like 'Therapist said I should focus, I had reached the lowest lows' and 'Confidence had lowered to a degree I thought would never show' highlight the internal conflicts that Mishlawi faces. These lyrics provide a raw and honest look at the pressures and expectations that come with personal and professional life, especially in the music industry. The mention of 'crying all night' serves as a powerful image of the emotional toll these struggles take on the narrator.

Mishlawi also touches on themes of success and the burdens that accompany it. The lines 'Got a couple months to get my act together, get this shit up off my shoulders, I swear it's a heavy load' reflect the immense pressure to succeed and the weight of expectations. Despite achieving success—'Hunnid band, hunnid band, hunnid band'—there is a sense of emptiness and a lack of fulfillment, as indicated by 'Ain't no opponent now where is the fun at.' This juxtaposition of external success and internal struggle adds depth to the song, making it a relatable and thought-provoking piece.
