All Along
Unveiling Desires: Perfume Genius' Poetic Journey of Longing
Lyrics
What drives me to my man?
Questioning the motivation behind being with their partner
Earthly or divine or otherwise
Whether it's of this world, spiritual, or something else
Is no business of mine
Stating it's not their concern
You wasted my time
Expressing frustration over time wasted
Deep down I never did feel right
Deep internal discomfort or unease
Even now sometimes
Admitting occasional ongoing discomfort
That feeling is a lie
Admitting that feeling uneasy is false at times
You wasted my time
Reiterating the frustration of time being wasted
A heart long desperate
Describing a heart that has been longing for something
For just a little bit
Longing for a small amount of something
A heart long desperate
Repeating the sentiment of longing
For something I had all along
Realization that the desired thing was within them all along
I don't need your love
Declaring independence from needing love
I don't need you to understand
Expressing a lack of need for understanding, but a need for being heard
I need you to listen
Emphasizing the importance of being listened to
