At this current moment in time I really don't know exactly what the lyrics literally mean. But whether they're to be taken as purely impressionistic, nonsense or no, here's a go.
Forgiveness is a central part of relational interaction. The "falling out" might be falling out of love. Stepping outside the relationship? There are references to what might be a common law marriage.
This was perhaps not the only lover the subject of the piece has tried to "save". Could be a reference to trying to provide a soft landing.
"You made your life on everything..." Doing what you have to do to keep things together?
The protagonist is representative of the feminine principle addressing the masculine counterpart.
But--being imperfect creatures scurrying around for scraps & other sentient beings to bond with like ourselves-- forgiveness is key.
All to All
Call of forgiveness
I'm like the beat of the hurt
I'm not the only one
You tried to save when you fell out
Call of forgiveness
I'm like the clean in the dirt
I'm not the only one
You tried to crave when you fell out
Try, Wait
You made your life on everything
Hard, Made
You made your life on everything
Try, Wait
You made your life on everything
Long, Fade
You made your life on everything
Call of forgiveness
I'm like the heal of the hurt
I'm like the only one
You tried to save when you fell out
Call of forgiveness
I'm like the queen of the dirt
I'm like the only one
Who tried to stay when you fell out
It's like the common law
Was wall to wall
And almost faded
I've seen the gone to small
The lost of law
The almost made it
It seems like mine to shine
You'll always find the lonely ray
It's like the wall to fall
The fall of all
The laws are graded
I've seen the lies that call
The pictures tall
The lines are made in
It's like the fight to crawl
My darling all you've lived your age
I know it's all to all
All to all
Ultimatum
It's like the all to all
All to all
Ultimatum
It's like the all to all
The all to all
The ultimatum
I know it's all to all
All to all
Ultimatum
Just like the all to all
All to all
Ultimatum
It's like the all to all
The all to all
The ultimatum
You made your life on everything
You made your life on everything
--song written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Charles A. Hart, Richard Henry, Zachary S. Stilgoe
Beautiful! That's all I have to say about this amazing song. Lisa Lobsinger is so sweet, and her voice is so angelic. I'm entranced both with her and the song.
