About Everyone

"Everyone" is a song about a person who is constantly seeking independence and freedom, but ultimately feels trapped and constrained by societal expectations. The song starts with the protagonist going against what everyone else is saying and choosing a path that others discourage her from taking. She invites the darkness in, but it does not want her yet. This could metaphorically represent her desire to explore a different, unconventional path or state of mind. .

Everyone Lyrics

[00:08.00] Everyone, all of them
[00:20.07] Everyone said, "Don't go that way"
[00:32.35] So, of course, to that I said
[00:43.77] "I think I'll go that way"
[00:55.78] And I left the door open to the dark
[01:07.67] I said, "Come in, come in, whatever you are"
[01:20.11] But it didn't want me yet
[01:31.68] Then like a babe in a crib
[01:44.01] After some big hand turns out the light
[01:55.67] And I opened my arms wide to the dark
[02:07.69] I said, "Take it all, whatever you want"
[02:19.61] I didn't know that I was numb
[02:31.39] I didn't know what it would take
[02:43.35] I didn't know what it would take
[03:01.64] Sometimes I think I am free
[03:13.60] Until I find I'm back in line again
