All For Us (feat. Zendaya)

Labrinth Labrinth

Sacrifice and Devotion in 'All For Us'

Labrinth's song 'All For Us,' featuring Zendaya, is a powerful anthem of sacrifice and dedication. The lyrics convey a deep sense of doing whatever it takes for the ones we love, even if it means taking on the world's burdens. The repeated lines 'I'm taking it all for us' and 'I'm doing it all for love' emphasize the theme of selfless sacrifice and the lengths one will go to for family and loved ones.

The song also touches on the struggles of everyday life, such as financial hardship and the absence of a parental figure, as seen in the lines 'Money MIA' and 'Daddy ain't at home.' These lines paint a picture of a person who is willing to bear the weight of these challenges for the sake of their loved ones' well-being. The reference to 'Michael Corleone,' a character from 'The Godfather' known for taking on the family business and its associated burdens, further underscores the theme of assuming responsibility.

The song's bridge, 'Guess you figured my two times two always equates to one / Dreamers are selfish,' suggests a realization that personal dreams and ambitions can sometimes be seen as selfish when they are put before the needs of others. The hope expressed in the lyrics for someone to remind the protagonist of who they were before they 'go disappear into that good night' is a poignant reflection on identity and the fear of losing oneself in the process of giving everything for others.
