More And More
Chasing Desires: Unraveling the Quest for More in Robert Post's 'More And More'
Lyrics
Cannot always get what you want
Expresses the inability to always attain desires.
Should know that by now
Suggests familiarity with the lesson of not always getting what one wants.
Because these things are few and far between
Highlights the rarity of certain things in life.
Cannot control all my fears
Acknowledges the lack of control over personal fears.
It often takes me by surprise
Describes how fear can catch the individual off guard.
And all the things I want to do
Refers to unfulfilled aspirations and goals.
Disappear in the face of what i have
Suggests that existing realities overshadow one's aspirations.
Why do we want more and more
Raises a question about the constant desire for more in life.
It never stops
Emphasizes the relentless nature of the desire for more.
It never stops
-Freedom is when I walk alone
Defines freedom as the ability to walk alone and set personal desires.
Can tell myself what I want to
Expresses the internal dialogue of self-affirmation.
And freedom lives in me
States that freedom is a part of the individual's being.
So I do what I want to
Declares the pursuit of personal desires without constraint.
Yeah what I want to
Reaffirms the freedom to do what one wants.
Why do we want more and more
Repeats the question about the insatiable desire for more.
It never stops
Reiterates the never-ending nature of the quest for more.
It never stops
-If you could read my mind
Poses the idea of privacy and the complexity of one's thoughts.
I know you wouldn't want to
Suggests that inner thoughts might not be pleasant if revealed.
Why do we want more and more
Repeats the question, emphasizing the perpetuity of desire for more.
It never stops
Reiterates the never-ending nature of the quest for more.
It never stops
