No One Really Wants Me
Yearning Echoes: Embracing Unwanted Desires in 'No One Really Wants Me'
Lyrics
When it’s time to start it from the end
When faced with a new beginning, I prefer to approach it as if it were the conclusion.
I want to, but no one really wants me
Expressing a desire to start anew, but feeling unacknowledged or unwanted by others.
Turn it ‘round and try it all again
Considering a fresh start and attempting to go through the process again.
I want you when no one really wants me
Expressing a desire for a specific person even when it seems like nobody desires the speaker.
Is it just another disappointment?
Questioning if the situation is just another letdown or unfulfilled expectation.
I’ve become a footnote in your life
Feeling relegated to a minor role or insignificance in someone else's life.
And I want to finally disappoint you, dear
Expressing a desire to disappoint someone significant in the speaker's life.
Am I wasting my time?
Pondering if investing time in a particular pursuit or relationship is worthwhile.
I am wasting my time
Acknowledging a belief that time is being wasted.
Tell me, what’s the worst thing I could say?
Seeking information on the most negative statement the speaker could make.
“I want you,” when no one really wants me
Expressing a desire for someone despite the perception that no one else wants the speaker.
Tell me that you’ll have me either way
Asking the other person to confirm acceptance regardless of the circumstances.
And I feel like no one really wants you
Feeling as though the other person is also not desired by anyone.
Is it just another disappointment?
Repeating the question of whether the situation is another letdown or unmet expectation.
I’ve become a footnote in your life
Reiterating the sense of being a minor or insignificant part of someone's life.
And I want to finally disappoint you, dear
Expressing a desire to disappoint someone important to the speaker.
Am I running out of time?
Wondering if time is running out in the pursuit of a goal or relationship.
I am running out of time
Acknowledging a belief that time is indeed running out.
Oh...
Expressing a poignant sentiment or emotion, possibly related to the overall theme.
