What I Think I Need
Beyond Desires: Unveiling Life's True Needs in 'What I Think I Need'
Lyrics
What I want
Expressing desires or wishes
cin't always what I need
Acknowledging that what one wants may not be necessary
What I want
Reiteration of personal desires
cin't always what I need
Repeating the idea that wants and needs can differ
When I get to getting for myself
When pursuing personal desires, it can have negative consequences
It can bring me down to my knees
The pursuit of personal desires can lead to personal challenges
I need a new fancy suit
Expressing a desire for a new, impressive outfit
So everyone can look at me
Linking personal worth to external appearances
I need a new fancy suit
Reiteration of the desire for a new, impressive outfit
So everyone can look at me
Repeating the connection between personal worth and external validation
I pray, "If you can hear me, Lord,
Expressing a plea to a higher power not to fulfill perceived needs
don't give me what I think I need."
A prayer to avoid receiving what one thinks is needed
I need a million dollars
Expressing a desire for a large sum of money
So I can quit my job and be free
Desire to quit a job and attain freedom through financial means
I need a million dollars
Reiteration of the desire for a significant amount of money
So I can quit my job and be free
Reiterating the desire for freedom through financial means
Everyone says I should invest
Others advise on investing, but there is skepticism about its longevity
But it'll all be gone by the end of the week
Expressing doubt about the sustainability of financial success
I showed up at the crossroads
Reference to a critical decision point or turning point in life
cnd the devil didn't teach me sh**
Expressing disappointment at not gaining valuable knowledge or skills at a crucial juncture
I showed up at the crossroads
Reiteration of disappointment at not learning anything significant
cnd the devil didn't teach me jack sh**
Emphasis on the lack of valuable lessons learned
You know what he did instead?
Introduction of an unexpected outcome
He took my wallet and told me to get
Description of an unusual encounter with the devil taking personal belongings
Can you believe that?
Expressing disbelief or shock at the devil's actions
Damn
A simple expression of frustration or exasperation
