You Know You Want It, Anyway You Can Get It
Desires Unveiled: Navigating Life's Complex Yearnings
Lyrics
Somewhere, there is someone for you,
Suggesting the existence of someone suitable for the listener.
And they are awful for you.
Indicating that the mentioned person is not good for the listener.
And all you can do is say they're thoughtful.
Highlighting the contradiction of acknowledging the person's flaws while praising their thoughtfulness.
And it's unfair that it's unclear to you--
Expressing frustration that the situation is unclear or unjust.
It's just so stupid to you. You laugh,
Describing the situation as foolish, followed by laughter.
Think it through, and then you just do it.
Encouraging contemplation before taking action.
But by the time I find the time to write
Expressing a delay in finding time to communicate.
I hope the wind will guide this kite
Using a metaphor of a kite to convey a hope for guidance from the wind.
And tell you I'm just fine, alright.
Assuring the listener about the speaker's well-being.
Oh, I'm not inclined to fight.
Expressing a lack of inclination to engage in conflict.
So my life is improving. I like what I'm doing
Positively describing the improvement in the speaker's life.
And what I'm not doing. The way time is moving
Reflecting on both positive and negative aspects of the speaker's actions.
Is just about right. Just not quite...
Commenting on the passage of time as nearly ideal but not perfect.
But you know you want it
Asserting the listener's desire for something.
Anyway, you can get it
Emphasizing the willingness to obtain the desired object in any way possible.
And you got it
Confirming the acquisition of the desired object.
But now you're not so sure it's what you wanted.
Expressing doubt or dissatisfaction with the obtained object.
If it's not, do you even know what you want?
Raising a question about the listener's understanding of their desires.
Some time, you should hear yourself talk--
Suggesting self-awareness and criticism of the listener's speech.
You say some ignorant shit for sure
Pointing out the listener's tendency to make ignorant statements.
And I'm no Sunday columnist.
Rejecting the idea of being a wise commentator on Sundays.
One mind, one mouth, all bets off.
Emphasizing the need for actions rather than words.
Less talk, more vigorous lipwork.
Advocating for less talk and more impactful actions.
Come on, grind and polish it until it shines!
Encouraging effort to improve and refine.
Where do you get off the line?
Posing a rhetorical question about the listener's behavior.
Downtown, where you waste your down time?
Criticizing the wasteful use of time in downtown activities.
You get enough love without mine.
Expressing that the speaker's love is not necessary for the listener.
Seriously, I'm sure you'll be fine.
Assuring the listener's well-being without the speaker's love.
Limit it to baby steps, it'll take a minute
Advising to take gradual steps in a process.
Maybe less-- Oh, what am I saying!
Mocking the idea of quick success, followed by self-correction.
I think it's my soul that you're saving,
Suggesting that the speaker's soul is valuable to the listener.
But it's only your breath.
Expressing a preference for a meaningful existence over a superficial one.
And I'd settle for a fate as good as death.
Expressing a desire for a fate as good as death.
But I know I want it.
Affirming the speaker's desire for something despite challenges.
No matter how much it makes me cry and vomit.
Acknowledging the emotional difficulty in pursuing the desire.
No matter how many times I give up on it.
Stating perseverance despite setbacks in pursuing the desire.
Come on, as if I know what I want when I say
Expressing uncertainty about knowing one's desires when declared.
I want it!
Reaffirming the desire for something, even if vague or threatening.
Even if it's only a wink and a threatening promise.
Emphasizing the persistence in wanting something, even if minimal.
Even if it's less than it seems which is grim and dishonest.
Highlighting the disparity between appearance and reality in desires.
I want it.
Reiterating the speaker's persistent desire for something.
Any way I can get what you've got?
Posing a question about obtaining what the listener possesses.
