“All About You” is the fifth track on Oh Wonder’s second album, Ultralife. A compact and elegant pop song, it addresses the world’s self-interested political climate and the impact upon its people.
Oh Wonder stated in a track-by-track interview with The Line of Best Fit:
“All About You” explores a...
[Verse 1]
You walk around the town like you born in a golden crown
You're speaking with the angels loud but no one understands ya
You got the sharpest bite as any killer sharker might
And you control the water like the desert doesn't matter
[Pre-Chorus]
You're so full of it
And we're so sick of it
You're so full of it
And we're so sick of it
[Chorus]
'Cause it's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you
[Verse 2]
You say it's not enough, you're sipping from a silver cup
But is that how she brought you up to blame the hand that feeds ya?
You counting green at night but blessings you will never find
You only seek to undermine, you only seek to never die
[Pre-Chorus]
You're so full of it
And we're so sick of it
You're so full of it
And we're so sick of it
[Chorus]
'Cause it's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you
[Bridge]
And every time you get stars in your eyes
And the planets align in the centre
Pushing on out 'til the walls are all wide
And you're out of your mind in the effort
We see your cover, we see another
Fooling yourself in the mirror
Where is your heart? Where is the truth?
[Chorus]
When it's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you
[Pre-Chorus]
You're so full of it
And we're so sick of it
You so full of it
And we so sick of it all
[Chorus]
'Cause it's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you
It's not about you
