Versions

All Time Low

This is the original album version. Following an extended ambient introduction, the main body of the song is introduced, with a dance beat loop surrounded by jangling guitars unique to this track. It later features descending, echoing synth melodies also rarely used in NIN tracks. The verse vocals recall the delivery used atop the similarly-danceable electronics of "Vessel."

All Time Low (Todd Rundgren Remix)

This version is included on the deluxe version of Hesitation Marks. It largely drops the guitar layers and instead features new, complex drumming patterns, and it prominently highlights the unique vocal layering present in the original.

Lyrics

   Go
   I've heard all I need to know
   Your voice in fucking echo stereo
   Well this particular scenario
   Looks like another all time low
   Why did you go and let them in?
   See this is where the fun begins
   You barely even pierced the skin
   Just wait til' you see what is coming
   
   Get down on the floor
   Shut the god damn door
   Been down this road before
   We're coming back for more
   
   So give me just a little, baby
   Just something to get by
   It's gonna last forever, baby
   We'll get the other side
   And we will live forever, baby
   And stretch across the sky
   I'll follow right behind you, baby
   We're never gonna die
   
   Hey
   Everything is not okay
   We lost too much along the way
   The passengers arrived today
   It looks as though they're here to stay
   This paranoia turns to fear
   Just who was whispering in your ear?
   Keep pretending, but I know you hear
   Just how'd we fucking end up here?
   
   So give me just a little, baby
   Just something to get by
   It's gonna last forever, baby
   We'll get the other side
   And we will live forever, baby
   And stretch across the sky
   I'll follow right behind you, baby
   We're never gonna die
   
   We're never gonna die
   How did we get so high?
