Anything You Want
Rebellion and Redemption: Embracing Chaos in 'Anything You Want'
Lyrics
Anything you want baby, you can have it
Expressing willingness to provide anything desired.
You can cut my head off like John The Baptist
A reference to the beheading of John The Baptist, suggesting a willingness to endure pain or sacrifice.
We can sleep together on a burning mattress
Symbolic imagery of intimacy amidst chaos and danger.
I don't give a fuck man, whatever the plan is
Indifference and rebellious attitude towards societal norms.
We can come together like a new messiah
Coming together with messianic undertones, perhaps seeking change or salvation.
We'll kick the heathens out, Goddamn pariahs
Rejecting societal outcasts, possibly advocating for a new order.
We're dancing in the street, setting cars on fire
Revolt and chaos represented by dancing in the street and setting cars on fire.
Because we don't have to answer to these cowards and liars
Rejection of authority figures perceived as cowardly and dishonest.
There's a price to pay but you can't define it
Acknowledging consequences, yet emphasizing their indefinable nature.
So lose yourself in the mindless violence
Encouraging immersion in senseless violence as a form of escape.
Hold your head high while you watch in silence
Maintaining dignity and composure despite witnessing chaos.
And say it for yourself, this is what you wanted
Encouraging self-expression and realization of personal desires.
Say it for yourself, this is what you wanted
Reiteration of the importance of self-affirmation and desires.
It's all over now baby, no surprises
Acknowledging the end of a situation without unexpected events.
There's nothing left in that life you haunted
Reflecting on a life that no longer holds significance.
So say it to yourself, this is what you wanted
Repeating the affirmation of personal desires.
Drinking black whiskey in the fiery furnace
Describing an intense moment with potent imagery of black whiskey and fiery furnace.
I'm talking about faith, not a thing can burn us
Discussing faith and the belief that nothing can harm them.
Saving our souls but it's not on purpose
Suggesting unintentional salvation of souls.
Because God only knows that it's barely worth it
Expressing doubt about the worth of the salvation.
There's a price to pay but you can't define it
Reiteration of consequences with an emphasis on their indefinable nature.
So lose yourself in the mindless violence
Encouraging immersion in mindless violence as an escape.
Hold your head high while you watch in silence
Maintaining dignity and composure in the face of chaos.
And say it for yourself, this is what you wanted
Encouraging self-expression and realization of personal desires.
Say it for yourself, this is what you wanted
Reiterating the importance of self-affirmation and desires.
It's all over now baby, no surprises
Acknowledging the end of a situation without unexpected events.
There's nothing left in that life you haunted
Reflecting on a life that no longer holds significance.
Say it to yourself, this is what you wanted
Repeating the affirmation of personal desires.
There's no fantasy
Rejecting the existence of fantasy and new possibilities.
No new horizon
Expressing a lack of hope for a better future.
We're running circles
Describing a repetitive and purposeless existence.
We're killing time here
Emphasizing the wasteful nature of time.
So beg forgiveness for the sins of your past
Seeking forgiveness for past mistakes.
And keep living life like it's going to last
Encouraging a continued enjoyment of life.
Say it for yourself, this is what you wanted
Reiterating the importance of self-affirmation and desires.
It's all over now baby, no surprises
Acknowledging the end of a situation without unexpected events.
There's nothing left in that life you haunted
Reflecting on a life that no longer holds significance.
Say it to yourself, this is what you wanted
Repeating the affirmation of personal desires.
