What I Want
Discovering Love's Echo: Anelise Furkin and Shirtsleeves Unveil Profound Desires
Lyrics
What love is to me?
Contemplating the personal definition of love
maybe I'll find out after all these years
Anticipating discovering the true meaning over the years
cause all I can see
Observing familiar faces seeing through the speaker
it's the same faces looking straight through me
Feeling unnoticed or transparent to others
oh, and again I go
Repeating a cycle of uncertainty
Cause nobody knows
Expressing the secrecy of the speaker's experiences
half the life I lived
Reflecting on a significant portion of life lived
feelings come and go
Acknowledging the transient nature of feelings
hurt and loss, I know
Recognizing pain and loss as familiar
I want something new now
Desiring something new in life
Cause I miss me
Expressing a longing for the self that is missed
never met me, should I say
Not having met one's true self
maybe find me
Seeking to discover and define the true self
I will tell you what I want, then
Promise to reveal personal desires
oh, all the thrills and sorrows of young love
Reflecting on the intense emotions of young love
shiver just to think of it
Feeling a shiver when reminiscing about it
but it bruised me, turned to ashes
Acknowledging the emotional scars from past love
all that I used to be
Loss of the former self due to past experiences
I'm scared to love again
Fearing the vulnerability of loving again
don't wanna loose myself when
Avoiding losing oneself in a relationship
I finally realise
A realization of the potential impact of love on identity
Oh my heart's no longer just mine
Realizing the shared ownership of the heart
Cause I miss me
Reiterating the longing for the lost self
never met me, should I say
Highlighting the unfamiliarity with one's true self
maybe find me
Expressing the intention to discover oneself
I will tell you what I want then
Repeating the promise to reveal personal desires
I want something real, someone I can be myself still
Desiring a genuine connection where the speaker can be authentic
