Everything You Wanted
Unveiling the Bittersweet Tapestry of Longing in 'Everything You Wanted'
Lyrics
Did you stop and take a minute
Reflecting on one's actions, taking a moment to assess life
Did you sleep through the night
Questioning if the person had a peaceful night's sleep
Did you hate feeling nothing, oh no
Asking if the absence of emotions was distressing
I like it just fine
Expressing contentment with the current situation
Now you ran out your minutes
Running out of time or opportunities
No more nights to yourself
No more time alone, possibly due to a relationship
Did you get what you wanted, oh no
Questioning if the person achieved their desires, accompanied by personal suffering
Dragging me through hell
Feeling dragged through a difficult or painful experience
Now you're smoking in the bathroom
Engaging in a secretive or isolated behavior (smoking in the bathroom)
While your guests speak amongst themselves
Others chatting while the person remains withdrawn
Do you have enough perfume to get rid of the smell
Using perfume to mask an undesirable scent
You got everything you wanted
Acknowledging the person has obtained all they desired
You got everything you need
Reiterating that the person has everything they need
But I remember what you looked like
Recalling the person's appearance when they were together
When you were hanging around with me
Referencing shared moments in the past
With me
Emphasizing the connection with the speaker
With me
Repetition for emphasis
I'm still working at the same store
Still working at the same job, selling alcohol to strangers
Selling strangers beer and wine
Highlighting a sense of continuity in the speaker's life
To the bars we went to, I still go
Continuing to visit the same bars as before
I like them just fine, just fine
Expressing satisfaction with the current choices
Now I'm smoking in the bedroom
Engaging in personal habits in a shared space
Yeah the same one we used to share
Using the same bedroom as in the past
The smell gets overwhelming but I don't care
Ignoring the overwhelming scent for personal reasons
You got everything you wanted
Reiteration of the person having everything desired
You got everything you need
Confirming the person's possession of necessities
But I remember what you looked like
Recalling the person's appearance during shared experiences
When you were hanging around with me
Reinforcing the connection between the speaker and the person
With me
Repetition for emphasis
With me
-You can keep all of your bullshit to yourself
Encouraging the person to keep their problems to themselves
You got everything you wanted
Restating that the person has achieved their desires
You got everything you need
Confirming the person's possession of necessities
But I remember what you looked like
Recalling the person's appearance during shared experiences
When you were hanging around with me
Reinforcing the connection between the speaker and the person
With me
Repetition for emphasis
With me
-You got everything you wanted
Reiterating that the person has everything desired
You got everything you need
Reiterating that the person has everything needed
But I remember what you looked like
Recalling the person's appearance during shared experiences
When you were hanging around with me
Reinforcing the connection between the speaker and the person
With me
Repetition for emphasis
With me
