Everybody Wants
Fading Away: Unraveling the Emotional Struggle in Everybody Wants
Lyrics
"Everybody wants something from me yeah
Feeling that everyone has expectations or desires from the speaker.
and piece by piece I slowly fade away yeah
Gradually losing oneself or identity as demands are made.
And I know that it don’t feel right
Acknowledging that the situation doesn't feel right.
but you’re messing with my head too much
Expressing the impact of others' actions on the speaker's mental state.
And I know that it don’t sit right
Reiterating discomfort with the situation or relationship.
this game you’re playing‘s no fun
Describing the undesirable nature of the game being played.
No, no I can’t lose it so I try to prove that
Asserting the speaker's determination not to lose control.
I’m worth, more to you than others but you knock my structures
Trying to demonstrate personal value but facing challenges.
Everybody wants something from me yeah
Repeating the theme of people wanting things from the speaker.
and piece by piece I slowly fade away yeah
Continuing the narrative of gradual self-deterioration.
You know what it feels like for your everything to be enough
Describing the longing for validation or acceptance.
Now I’m closing my eyes and staring at the sun
Seeking solace or escape by closing one's eyes and facing challenges.
No, no I can’t lose it so I try to prove that
Re-emphasizing the determination to withstand external pressures.
I’m worth, more to you than others but you knock my structures
Highlighting the struggle to prove personal worth amidst difficulties.
Everybody wants something from me yeah
Reiteration of the pervasive desire for something from the speaker.
and piece by piece I slowly fade away yeah
Continuation of the theme of gradual fading or deterioration.
Everybody wants something today
Generalizing the universal nature of desires or expectations.
And piece by piece I start to give away
Describing the incremental process of giving in to demands.
Turn it off turn it off turn it off
An expression of the desire to disconnect or escape from the situation.
And I know that it don’t feel right
Repeating the acknowledgment that the situation feels wrong.
but you’re messing with my head too much"
Stating the adverse effects of others' influence on the speaker's mind.
