Lyrics
I'm longing for something, I don't know what
I feel a deep desire for something, though I'm uncertain about its nature.
Can't figure out what it is
I'm unable to determine or identify what that something is.
Just like a hunger for what it's not
Similar to a craving for the unknown, a longing for what is not defined.
A scratch that you just can't itch
Describing an intense urge or desire that is difficult to satisfy, like an unreachable itch.
And it's so ahhh
Expressing a feeling, possibly a mix of frustration and desire.
And it's so no no no
Emphasizing a negative response or resistance to the unknown desire.
It's so ahhh
Reiterating the intense and ambiguous nature of the feeling.
And it's so no no no
Continuing the expression of resistance or uncertainty towards the desire.
Well my life is easy, yea, life is good
Contrasting the external ease and goodness of life with the internal longing for something unattainable.
There's really nothing I need
Stating contentment with life but acknowledging an unfulfilled aspect.
But something just almost within my grasp
Referring to something almost achievable but consistently out of reach.
It stays just beyond my reach
Highlighting the persistent inability to grasp the desired goal.
And it's so ahhh
Repeating the intense and ambiguous nature of the feeling.
Yea it's so no no no
Reiterating the negative response or resistance to the elusive desire.
Why does it taunt me the way it does
Pondering why the desire torments and causes emotional pain.
And bring out the ache in me
Noting that the desire brings out an emotional ache within the person.
It just seems to haunt me in abstraction
Describing how the desire seems to persistently trouble the person in a vague or conceptual way.
Elusive as it might be
Describing the elusive nature of the desire, suggesting it is difficult to pin down or define.
And it's so ahhh
Repeating the intense and ambiguous nature of the feeling.
And it's so no no no
Reiterating the negative response or resistance to the elusive desire.
