What You Want
Irresistible Temptations: Unveiling the Meaning Behind 'What You Want'
Lyrics
You're softer than a cannon blast
You have a gentle nature, not forceful like a cannon blast.
But your effects much longer last
Your impact or influence on me lasts longer despite your soft demeanor.
And i want you just like a hole in my head
Expressing reluctance or hesitation about wanting the person.
But i need you like a meal and a bed
Acknowledging a genuine need for the person, akin to basic necessities like a meal and a bed.
And you say, come on
Encouraging the person to approach or initiate a connection.
I'm not what you're after
The person believes they may not meet the other's expectations.
But i know, you're not just anyone, anyone
Acknowledging the uniqueness of the person, not just anyone.
'Cause I'm not what you want
The speaker recognizes they may not be the ideal choice for the person.
No, I'm not anyone
Emphasizing that the speaker is not just anyone, indicating uniqueness.
But if you needed me
If the person needed the speaker, they could become someone significant.
The i could be someone
Highlighting the potential for significance if the person requires the speaker.
You're an army in a horse
Metaphorically describing the person as a powerful force contained within a seemingly harmless exterior.
And you have taken me by force
Describing a forceful impact or influence that the person has had on the speaker.
All the freedom in this world could not resist
Suggesting that the person's allure is so powerful that even freedom cannot resist it.
The sweet temptation of your sweet elusiveness
Describing the irresistibility of the person's elusive and tempting nature.
So i say, come on
Encouraging the person to come closer as an opportunity opens up.
As the gate swings open
Symbolizing an opening or opportunity for a connection with the person.
'Cause i know you're not just anyone, anyone
Reiterating the uniqueness of the person, not just anyone.
But the lie's always cheaper than the truth
Highlighting the deceptive nature of lies, suggesting they are more convenient but less truthful.
And the lie's all I've never known of you
Acknowledging a lack of knowledge about the person, only familiar with falsehoods.
So maybe none of this is true
Expressing uncertainty about the truthfulness of the situation.
