Talking about "All of Us", One Eye Closed's bilingual vocalist REI comments, "We wanted to push ourselves as musicians with this track. All Of Us keeps our rock roots, but blends that core with funk, jazz and pop more so than any of our releases so far. Despite this being One Eye Closed's closest thing to a pop song, the lyrics are anything but."

All Of Us music video sees the band's members REI, none, Yasu and Kay in a dystopian future where everyone dresses the same, acts the same and are blind to the world around them. "It's an exaggeration of modern life," explains REI. "Here in Japan there's a real pressure to fit in with society. We thought there were a lot of avenues to explore around this concept, whether you're a musician with the expectations to make pop songs and not be true to who you are, or if you're a salary-man living with a boring, repetitive and enforced routine. We shouldn't be afraid to push back. That's the message of this song and its video."

One Eye Closed - “All of Us”

Here it is again
Same routine, the same old friends
Dress like everyone, the same old things
Go to work and drive the same old lane
(Turn it up)
Swallow all happy pills just like everyone else
Follow orders on screen and take the paycheck
Leave at 5, yeah, all the time
Go to sleep around 9
And say goodnight to LIFE, yeah,
Til the sunrise
I don’t know why oh why
When I start to feel like this
I’m forced to sing this:
(And it goes like this)

All of us can’t see our future clearly
All of us live life mindlessly, yeah
Just live our life til we die
Don’t even know what we like
Go under, go under, go under

It keeps repeating, repeating
Til we lose track of the days in the calendar
I follow orders, like others, so aimlessly
But I wanna break cause I cannot take this for another night
It seems I’m going crazy, yeah
Can’t take it easy, yeah
Follow everyone’s rhythm
Stick with the same algorithm to sell ‘em, yeah
Culture full of blame for those who are not the same
(Is this what you want now?)
Longing for revolution
Don’t need a cult religion
What are we dancing for now?
Copy-paste, indulge us right now
That’s the way it goes and that’s the way it goes
(And all I gotta say is)

All of us can’t see our future clearly
All of us live life mindlessly, yeah
Just live our life til we die
Don’t even know what we like
Go under, go under, go under

They thought we wouldn’t notice this orchestrated bliss
But none of me want to be a part of this, yeah
Gotta run from it all
Lay low, gotta crawl
Forget all the words they made us call

All of us can’t see our future clearly
All of us live life mindlessly, yeah
Just living our life in fear
So we gotta go under, go under

All of us can’t see our future clearly
All of us live life mindlessly, yeah
Just live our life til we die
Don’t even know what we like
Go under, go under, go under

All of us can’t see our future clearly
All of us live life mindlessly, yeah
Just live our life til we die
Don’t even know what we like
Go under, go under, go under
