Lyrics for All Good Things as interpreted by crunkt

All Good Things Lyrics
Ahh-ahh-ahh

Honestly what will become of me,
I don't like reality,
It's way too clear to me,
But really life is daily,
We are what we don't see,
We missed everything daydreaming

Flames to dust,
Lovers to friends,
Why do all good things come to an end?

Come to an end.

Traveling I,
Only stop at exits
Wondering if I'll stay
Young and restless
Living this way is I stress this
I want to
Pull away when the dream dies
Pain sets in and I don't cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why

Flames to dust,
Lovers to friends,
Why do all good things come to an end?

Come to an end.

Well the dogs were whistlin' a new tune
Barkin' at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon
So that they could die

Flames to dust,
Lovers to friends,
Why do all good things come to an end?

Come to an end.

Well the dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistlin’ a new tune
Hoping it will come soon

And the sun was wondering
If it should
Stay away for a day
'Til the feeling went away

And the sky was falling
And the clouds were dropping
And the rain forgot how to bring salvation

The dogs were barking at the moon and
Whistlin' a new tune
Hoping it will come soon
So that they could die

I think at the beginning of the song it goes "Honestly what will become of me, I don't like reality, It's way too clear to me, But really life is daily, We are what we don't see, We missed everything daydreaming" other than that you did pretty well. I absolutely love this song. It is soo beautiful!

I didnt think it was daily... It sounds like "Really life is dandy"
I checked Nellys site and it says Daily in the lyrics but, to me, it doesnt sound like that

This song has so much emotion. I love it. I hope I don't get sick off it because it is overplayed currently. Thank God Chris Martin doesn't sing in it, i don't like him too much. But I haven't yet heard the version with him...

The dogs were barking at the moon and
Whistlin' a new tune
Hoping it will come soon
So that they could die

tHIS SONG IS BEAUTIFUL, but I dont understand most of the song in terms of what it is trying to put across, apart from all good things come to an end.

In the version sung with the Italian singers Zero Assoluto, the Italian words are:
Solo così
potrei ritrovare
il coraggio di
di riprovarci nonostante tutto
correre lontano da qua
adesso
chiedersi qual era il perché
domani
torneremo così, tornerò così da te da te da te da t da te…

Flames to dust [...]

Well the dogs were whistling a new tune [...]

lo sento già: è come perdersi…
se provi a crederci
proverò così
io posso crederci
tornerò così… torneremo così

***
And a rough translation should sound something like:

Only this way
I could find again
The courage to
To try again in spite of all
run far away from here
now
ask oneself what the reason was
tomorrow
we'll come back like this, I'll come back like this to you to you to you to you

Flames to dust [...]

Well the dogs were whistling a new tune [...]

I can feel it already: it's like getting lost
If I try to believe it
I'll try this way
I can believe in it
I'll come back like this, we'll come back like this

Yeah I hear 'dandy' not 'daily'
Depending on the word you hear I think one could take the song in a different point of view.

I always thought to hear: "But really life is deadly" kinda made sense for me too

Besides that I would love to get some insight to the meaning of the lines:
"The dogs were barking at the moon and..."

i think at the last verse the dogs represent kinda the bad things that are happening,and the fact that they are barking and whistling it shows how ¨loud¨they are ....so i guess she is waiting for the day to end so that her troubles will ¨die¨

to me she is saying she knows all her fame will come to the end.

"Pull away when the dream dies
Pain sets in and I don't cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why"

Another song off of Loose that should make nay-sayers shut their pie-holes.

To me it's like "Try" it's partially a growing up song. It's about that point in life when you're not a child and you start to see how harsh reality is. You wonder where you fit in, in the scheme of things. You try different things, hoping you won't become "old."

It's also partially about losing a love. You've tried everything and it still doesn't work out. You know it's not working, even after you leave you still feel it. That's what the whole "Well the dogs were whistling a new tune..." part is about. You know you have to change, but it's painful.

This is a good song. Although it's pop and nelly furtado, i have to clap my hands for this bit. and my brother likes it. thats not the reason i like it...

basically i think they're realizing that you have to make all the positive things in life last as long as you can, because they'll end. like in a relationship, the excited-ness (word?) will slowly flicker out. the fun of playing a sport may stay, but it will die. everything flickers, pretty much. most things, but not all.
