All The Times

Rhythm Doctor's song "All The Times" delves deep into the emotional turmoil of trying to move on from a past relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist's struggle with bitterness and the repetitive cycle of attempting to forget their former lover. The opening lines, "I just can't refrain / Bitterness, so quaint," set the tone for a narrative filled with frustration and a sense of helplessness. The repeated attempts to move on, only to be pulled back into the emotional quagmire, are encapsulated in the lines, "All the times I tried / I just couldn't get over you."

The song also explores the temporary solace found in distractions, such as alcohol, as a means to escape the pain. The line, "One more sip embraced / My worries disappear for a while," highlights this fleeting relief, which is soon followed by the inevitable return of heartache. The chorus, with its plea for reassurance and the struggle to believe in it, underscores the difficulty of healing: "They told me it's alright / They say that I'll get through / But however hard that I try / I just couldn't get over you."

As the song progresses, there is a shift from despair to a glimmer of hope and realization. The protagonist acknowledges the shared experiences and pain with their former lover, suggesting a deeper connection and understanding: "You have been through / All the things I've been through." This mutual recognition becomes a source of inspiration, as the protagonist decides to channel their emotions into creativity, stating, "You can be my muse / I'll write these songs for you." The closing lines express a desperate plea for relief from the craving and a hopeful resolution, indicating a newfound determination to find freedom and peace: "No more tries, and / No more nights / Will keep me away from you / I've finally found in you / The key to set, me free."
