I Wanted Everything
Regrets of a Lost Dream: Unraveling Death By Unga Bunga's 'I Wanted Everything'
Lyrics
I did what I was told and now I'm getting old
I followed instructions and now I'm aging.
I'm in a black abyss
I feel trapped in a dark, empty space.
I thought I could prevail, but now I'm bound to fail
I believed I could succeed, but now I foresee failure.
How did it come to this
How did my situation deteriorate to this point?
When I was young I should've started a band
In my youth, I regret not forming a musical group.
I should've slept around and made a stand
I wish I had been more adventurous romantically.
Why did I do what I did when
Why did I act against my desires when
I wanted everything
I desired success and fulfillment in every aspect?
Yeah I wanted everything
Yes, I craved achievement in all facets of life.
I got an office job and I'm working like a dog
I'm employed in an office, toiling tirelessly solely to support my children.
Just to feed my kids
I lack the opportunity to relax or contemplate.
I never get to drink, I never get to think
I rarely have moments for leisure or introspection.
How did it come to this?
How did my circumstances evolve to this unfortunate state?
The voices in my head said they wished that they were dead
The thoughts in my mind express a desire for escape through death.
I am a parody
I have become a caricature or an exaggerated imitation of myself.
I hate my stupid life and I hate my awful wife
I detest my unfulfilling existence and my partner.
This shit went horribly
My life has taken a terrible turn.
When I was young I should've started a band
In hindsight, I regret not pursuing music and taking more romantic risks.
I should've slept around and made a stand
I wish I had been more sexually adventurous and made a bold stance.
Why did I do what I did when
Why did I act against my desires when
I wanted everything
I desired success and fulfillment in every aspect?
Yeah I wanted everything
Yes, I craved achievement in all facets of life.
