Never Wanted You
Unwanted Desires: Embracing Independence in HAROLD LOVE's 'Never Wanted You'
Lyrics
I need a feeling, that can contain me Contain me
I desire an emotion strong enough to restrain me, to hold me in check.
No room for healing, nothing can change me
No space for healing, nothing has the power to change my current state.
Can change me
Emphasizing the unchangeable nature of the emotional state.
Didn't want you to leave it all behind
Expressing reluctance for someone to abandon everything.
Never wanted you, and I can't deny
Confessing the lack of desire for a specific person and an inability to deny it.
I get these dreams and don't know where to go
Experiencing confusing dreams without clear direction.
Where to go
Highlighting the uncertainty and lack of direction in life.
My blood is steaming, I have no control
Feeling intense emotions, indicating a lack of self-control.
No control
Reiterating the absence of control over one's emotions.
Didn't want you to leave it all behind
Repeating the reluctance for someone to abandon everything.
Never wanted you, I can't deny
Reiterating the lack of desire for a specific person and the inability to deny it.
I've been waiting on this
Expressing anticipation for a particular moment.
You're everything that I never wanted
Acknowledging that the person is everything the speaker never wanted.
You can't make me do the things that you want achieved
Rejecting the idea of being manipulated to fulfill someone else's desires.
You are waiting on me
Acknowledging that the other person is waiting for a response.
But I don't want you to adore me
Expressing a desire not to be adored by the other person.
You keep telling me I'm bout to make you believe
Resisting the pressure to make the other person believe in something.
But all I ever wanted
Stating that the speaker's initial desire was not to feel haunted by the other person.
Was you to not make me feel haunted
Reiterating the initial desire for emotional freedom from haunting feelings.
This seemed fun at first but now I want this to seize
Initially finding the situation enjoyable, but now desiring it to end.
But you still can't control me
Asserting that the other person still cannot control the speaker.
No matter what you did before me
Regardless of the other person's actions before, they cannot be controlled.
With all due respect I think I just might leave
Expressing a possible decision to leave, with respect.
Didn't want you to
Repeating the reluctance for someone to abandon everything.
Never wanted you and I can't deny
Reiterating the lack of desire for a specific person and the inability to deny it.
Didn't want you to leave it all behind
Repeating the reluctance for someone to abandon everything.
Never wanted you, and I can't deny
Confessing the lack of desire for a specific person and an inability to deny it.
