All I Want
Yearning for Love and Acceptance: Leona Naess's All I Want Revealed
Lyrics
All I want is the king of stone
Desire for a partner who is strong and unyielding
Who's got me sprung then thrown
Being captivated and then emotionally detached
Maybe it was the drinking
Suspecting that alcohol influenced thoughts
That had me thinking
Reflecting on thoughts possibly shaped by drinking
Baby, I was in love with you
Past realization of being in love
But I think you'll find
Clarification that love wasn't solely due to wine
That it wasn't the wine
Attributing affection to the person's qualities
But the way you sparkle and shine
Highlighting the person's sparkling and shining attributes
Oh, will you be there?
Seeking assurance of presence in challenging times
All I want is a king to love me
Desire for a loving and supportive partner
Well, then I think I'd be happy
Belief that love brings happiness
With all this noise
Reference to inner turmoil and mental chaos
Crashing through my head
Willingness to be quiet and at peace with a loved one
I will be silent with him in my bed
Expressing the desire for quiet intimacy
All I want are the crowds
Yearning for recognition and admiration from others
To follow me home
Wanting a supportive crowd to share success
So that I won't feel too alone
Desire for companionship to avoid loneliness
When I come home
Anticipation of returning home after a performance
And I'm off the stage
Post-performance emotional release
And I have released all this rage
Coping with emotions and finding solace
Leaving me unto an empty page
Turning emotions into creative expression
Oh, will you be there?
Seeking reassurance and support from a loved one
All I want is the world's approval
Craving societal approval and validation
And to dance to every beat I move to
Desire to dance to the rhythm of life
And I think that maybe
Expectation of self-discovery through experience
Then I would see
Anticipating understanding oneself through others' perspectives
What they say they see in me
Desire to perceive oneself as others do
All I want is a touch of Marilyn
Yearning for a blend of vulnerability and strength
With the heart and soul of Steinem
Idealizing qualities of Marilyn Monroe and Gloria Steinem
And I think that maybe
Reiterating the desire for self-perception through others
Then I would see
Seeking validation through others' perspectives
What they see in me
Desire for self-awareness through external validation
All I want is a king to love me
Reiteration of the need for a loving and supportive partner
Well, then I think I'd be happy
Belief that love brings happiness
With all this noise
Reference to inner turmoil and mental chaos
Crashing through my head
Willingness to be quiet and at peace with a loved one
I will be silent with him in my bed
Expressing the desire for quiet intimacy
All I want is the world's approval
Craving societal approval and validation
And to dance to every beat I move to
Desire to dance to the rhythm of life
And I think that maybe
Expectation of self-discovery through experience
Then I would see
Anticipating understanding oneself through others' perspectives
What they say they see in me
Desire to perceive oneself as others do
