All You Ever Wanted
Unveiling Longing: Noémie Wolfs' Allure of Unattainable Dreams
Lyrics
All you ever wanted to be
All aspirations and desires you had in life
Man right beside me
A companion, a man, right by your side
All you ever wanted to see
All the things you wished to witness
In your dreams
Mainly in the realm of your dreams
All you ever wanted to hear
All the words you desired to hear
Me calling out to you "my dear"
Specifically, the speaker calling out affectionately
When you're lonely and incomplete
During moments of loneliness and feeling incomplete
All you ever wanted to feel
All the emotions you wanted to experience
Careless as only a kid can be
Carefree and innocent, reminiscent of a child
All you ever wanted to see
All the scenes you hoped to witness, including heartbreak
My broken heart
Referring to the speaker's own broken heart
I won't be there to hold you
The speaker won't be there to offer support
No, you're wasting precious time
Advising against wasting valuable time
When you're serarching for something
When searching for something that belongs to the speaker
That is mine
Emphasizing ownership or uniqueness
Lover don't you linger on
Addressing a lover, advising against dwelling on
Don't look for me, I'm far gone
Not to search for the speaker because they are gone
I am not coming home, I've stayed too long to know
Explaining the speaker won't return, having stayed away too long
The lights inside her hearts have went out
Describing the extinguished lights in someone's heart
So lover, don't you linger on
Reiterating advice to the lover not to linger on
All I ever wanted to be
Switching perspective to the speaker's desires
Close to you as I can be
To be as close to someone as possible
All I ever wanted to see
To witness specific scenes in dreams
In my dreams
Repetition of the dream element from the lover's perspective
All I ever wanted to hear
Hearing the lover whispering the speaker's name
You wispering my name
Especially during lonely and incomplete moments
When I'm feeling lonely and incomplete
(Blank line, likely emphasizing a pause or transition)
Lover don't you linger on
Encouraging the lover not to seek the speaker
Don't look for me, I'm far gone
Confirming the speaker's absence and the futility of searching
I am not coming home, I've stayed too long to know
Stating that the speaker won't return due to a prolonged absence
The lights inside her hearts have went out
Reiterating the imagery of extinguished lights in the heart
So lover, don't you linger on
Repeating advice to the lover not to linger on
Lover, don't you linger on
Reiteration of advice to the lover
Don't look for me, I'm far gone
Emphasizing the speaker's permanent absence
