- Everything At Once Lyrics / with translationsI'll cut up my time into two seperate pieces.
In one place, I'm someone I don't know.
In the second place I don't remember my name.
I'll maintain control: I'll imitate you perfectly.
Now nothing's there: you win.
My flesh hangs loose on my bones,
I'm old, I'm poisoned.
I feel everything at once.
Now throw me out the window.
Watch me fall.
I'll try to remember if I've ever been here before.
I can't remember.
I'll imitate everything around me perfectly.
Time will always win.
It's poison.
I've never loved you.
I was never here.
I remember what it felt like to take a deep breath, then exhale, then forget
what I had just done.
I was never here.
I'll imitate everything around me.
Perfectly.
In one place, I'm someone I don't know.
In the second place I don't remember my name.
I'll maintain control: I'll imitate you perfectly.
Now nothing's there: you win.
My flesh hangs loose on my bones,
I'm old, I'm poisoned.
I feel everything at once.
Now throw me out the window.
Watch me fall.
I'll try to remember if I've ever been here before.
I'll imitate everything around me perfectly.
Time will always win.
It's poison.
I've never loved you.
I was never here.
I remember what it felt like to take a deep breath, then exhale, then forget
what I had just done.
I was never here.
I'll imitate everything around me.
Perfectly.

When we analyze the meaning behind the words, Swans' song 'Everything At Once' goes through the very concepts of disconnection, self-mirroring, and time flowing. The lines give a picture of the speaker being isolated as well as battling to know oneself in a world filled with age and time being a poison. Repeatedly saying 'I was never here' carries the message of one being so lost or disconnected that he might not even feel the connection with others, which is reflecting the very idea of imitation and the lack of true bonds. The lyrics of Everything at once are all about despair, heartbreak, angst, loneliness, and contemplation. Nevertheless, the piece not only talks about identity and self-perception, loss and detachment, but also about time and its effects. The words spoken cover the loss of identity, emotional turmoil, and existential contemplations, all of which might not be appropriate for the under-13 age group. The reiteration of phrases and evocations of being 'poisoned' and 'never there' imply a more profound emotional conflict that could be viewed as very intense or portraying maturity.
