ALL I HAVE

Oskar Cyms' song 'ALL I HAVE' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of a relationship that seems to be falling apart. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with the realization that their efforts and love may not be enough to salvage the connection. The opening lines, 'Walking away / Closer is sober / Something is telling me / We can't be reached anymore,' set the tone for the song, highlighting a sense of distance and an impending end. This feeling of helplessness is further emphasized with the repeated acknowledgment of needing the other person, despite the growing chasm between them.

The metaphor of being 'hit by a train' captures the sudden and overwhelming nature of the emotional impact. The imagery of 'footprints in the waves' suggests fleeting moments and memories that are slowly being washed away, reinforcing the idea that the relationship is slipping through the narrator's fingers. The refrain, 'I gave you all I have,' underscores the depth of the narrator's commitment and the pain of feeling that their all-encompassing love might not be reciprocated or enough to mend the rift.

Throughout the song, there's a recurring theme of searching for light in the darkness and questioning if there's any way to rekindle what once was. The lines 'Is there a world I can say? / Was there a chance in your head?' reflect a desperate hope for clarity and understanding. The song's emotional weight is carried by the poignant realization that despite giving everything, sometimes love alone cannot bridge the gap. Oskar Cyms masterfully captures the essence of heartache and the struggle of holding on when everything seems to be falling apart.
