Between several Pulp Fiction-reminiscent guitar riffs, Phillips claims her independence. Her significant other might be gone with all her pride, but he hasn’t taken everything. The measure between Phillips’ vocals — drawn-out to the slightly-spit “prove to you”s — give the song its balance, ensuring...
[Verse 1]
There's the words you ought to explain
As you're walking your heart away
And I can hear the silence between your eyes
As I watch you leaving with all my pride
All my pride
[Bridge]
There's a fire on your lips I long to kiss
And if there's demons, want all of it
Now every second goes so slow when you're stuck in this curse
I can hear the sounds but they're all in reverse
[Chorus]
All my scars will heal in time
Now he's gone with all my pride
Everybody's saying what I need to do
But I haven't got a thing to prove, prove to you
[Verse 2]
There's the smell I know to be home
Then the wonder when I wake up alone
And I'll pretend that we're in true romance again
Whilst you're at Potsdamer Platz with another girl in your hand
[Chorus]
All my scars will heal in time
Now he's gone with all my pride
Everybody's saying what I need to do
But I haven't got a thing to prove, prove to you
[Chorus]
All my scars will heal in time
Now he's gone with all my pride
Everybody's saying what I need to do
But I haven't got a thing to prove to you
All my scars will heal in time
Now he's gone with all my pride
Everybody's saying what I need to do
But I haven't got a thing to prove, prove to you
(Now every second goes so slow when you're stuck in this curse)
(I can hear the sounds, but they're all in reverse)
All My Pride was written by Black Honey & Izzy B. Phillips.
Black Honey released All My Pride on Fri Apr 29 2016.
“‘All My Pride’ is about the person I loved who left me at war with myself when he went,” Phillips explained to The FADER in an email. “I was forever reliving the scenes in my head like I was under a curse.”
