All I Want
Echoes of Solitude: Unveiling the Heartfelt Secrets in Laureli Amadeus' 'All I Want'
Lyrics
When they’re nearby
Expressing a sense of discomfort or unease when certain people are close.
I’m crushed by so many secrets
Feeling overwhelmed by the burden of numerous undisclosed secrets.
I must be better off like this
Reflecting a belief that the current state is preferable.
I must be better off like this
Reiteration of the preference for the current situation.
Alone here, but how could I ask
Being alone and hesitant to inquire if the other person desires solitude as well.
If you wanna be alone here too
Considering the potential cruelty of suggesting the desire for solitude to the other person.
That’d just be too damn cruel
Acknowledging the ongoing disillusionment, possibly in relationships.
The disillusions never end
Expressing a desire not to harbor bitterness.
I don’t wanna be bitter, wanna be bitter
Reiterating the desire to avoid bitterness.
When I reach the gallows again
Anticipating a challenging situation or confrontation.
And this lump in my throat just won’t retire
Describing a persistent feeling of emotional constriction.
And a cork has stuck into my eyes
Feeling as if vision is obstructed or obscured.
I want to scream nothing matters at all
Expressing a desire to scream and a sense of nihilism.
Curl up my limbs until night falls
Imagining withdrawing and seeking solace until nightfall.
Look away, ‘fore it catches me off guard
Advising oneself to avoid being caught off guard emotionally.
Oh, look away, in the churchyard there’s so many faces
Observing many faces in a churchyard, possibly symbolizing various aspects of life and death.
Looking through me, wish I had the heart to run ahead
Wishing for the courage to move forward despite feeling observed.
But I can’t go on any longer
Expressing a struggle to endure the current situation any longer.
They’ve spoken again
Indicating that others have communicated, possibly influencing the speaker's emotions.
All I want, all I want, all I want, all I want
Repetition of the desire or statement: "All I want."
All I want, all I want, all I want, all I want
-All I want, all I want, all I want, all I want
-Can it even be said?
Pondering the feasibility of expressing certain feelings or thoughts.
I’m better off, I’m better off, I’m better off without you
Asserting that the speaker is better off without someone or something.
(They all sing)
Repetition of the statement: "I’m better off without you."
You’re better off, you’re better off, you’re better off without us
-(We must be)
-I’m better off, I’m better off, I’m better off without you
-Am I really so opaque? It’s a different kind of rain
Questioning if the speaker's feelings are easily understood.
When they’re nearby
Reiteration of discomfort when certain people are nearby.
(Alone here, but how could I ask?)
Reiteration of the desire for solitude and the associated hesitancy.
I’m crushed by so many secrets
-(If you wanna be alone here too)
-I must be better off like this
-I must be better off like this
Reiteration of the belief in being better off in the current state.
(Better off like this)
-Look away, ‘fore it catches me off guard
Repetition of the advice to look away and the struggle to continue.
Oh, look away, in the churchyard there’s so many faces
-Looking through me, wish I had the heart to run ahead
-But I can’t go on any longer
-(Curl up my limbs until night falls)
-They’ve spoken again
Confirmation of external communication impacting the speaker.
All I want, all I want, all I want, all I want
Repetition of the desire or statement: "All I want."
All I want, all I want, all I want, all I want
-All I want, all I want, all I want, all I want
-Can it even be said?
-Can it even be said?
Raising doubt about the expressibility of certain thoughts or desires.
