PNAU - All Of Us Lyrics

PNAU Lyrics

"All Of Us"
(feat. Ollie Gabriel)

Yeah ooh
If a shark stops swimming it dies
And I can't stay alive if I can't dance tonight
If I can't lose my mind
Un-weave those strands of time
Then I can't stay alive
Yeah
If a shark stops swimming it dies
And I can't stay alive if I can't dance tonight
If I can't lose my mind
Un-weave those strands of time
Then I can't stay alive

Gotta move on in
Till your body's here
Let my arms extend
Feel the warmest skin
Gotta move on in
Till your body's here
Let my arms extend
Feel the warmest skin

Do you really wanna work all day?
They really don't care if we want to play
Do you really wanna work all day, all day?
They really don't care if we want to play

Now we're climbing, reaching, all of us
Wake up looking searching for that morning rush
We've been floating out there, moving dust
Wake up, looking, searching just like all of us

Yeah ooh
If a shark stops swimming it dies
And I cant stay alive if I can't dance tonight
If I can't lose my mind
Un-weave those strands of time
Then I can't stay alive

Do you really wanna work all day?
They really don't care if we want to play
Do you really wanna work all day, all day?
They really don't care if we want to play

Now we're climbing, reaching, all of us
Wake up looking searching for that morning rush
We've been floating out there, moving dust
Yeah we wake up looking searching just like all of us

Now we're climbing, reaching, all of us
Wake up looking searching for that morning rush
We've been floating out there, moving dust
Yeah we wake up looking searching just like all of us

PNAU's Nick Littlemore explains the meaning behind the song: "'All Of Us' is in essence what PNAU has always stood for; togetherness. I found this feeling as a young teen on the warehouse floors of rave parties and clubs of the underground. As kids in an adult scene we were taken in by the older, wiser revellers; we were open eyed and filled with wonderment. In those places, those hidden spaces, we found acceptance and love. It's that feeling, doing what humans from all cultures have done since the dawn of time - we danced. Just like Havelock Ellis had understood, that the ritual of dance is really the most human instinct of all, and dance is full of love and creativity. This song speaks to that sensation. This is our ode to the ritual that we've in so many ways dedicated our lives to. You don't need to know the steps or be an expert; you just need to lose yourself to dance."
