All I Want
Soulful Yearning: Embracing Life's Blues with The Addiction's Melody
Lyrics
When you got nothing
Feeling empty or lacking in possessions or achievements.
All you do is play
Engaging in recreational activities or pastimes.
You're sick and tired
Experiencing fatigue and frustration.
Of working for
Putting effort into earning a living wage.
A hard day's pay
Frustrated with the challenges of a demanding job.
When life keeps
Feeling continuously disheartened by life's struggles.
Bringing you down
Facing persistent difficulties.
All you gotta do
Suggesting a solution to the struggles.
Is pick up that guitar
Turning to playing music as a form of escape or solace.
And just play the blues
Specifically, playing the blues genre of music.
All I want all I need
Expressing desire and necessity.
Is a little bit of rock 'n' roll
Desiring a dose of rock 'n' roll music.
All I have all I got
Indicating possession and current state.
Is the music running
Highlighting the presence and influence of music in the soul.
Through my soul
Emphasizing the continuous impact of music.
When you ain't
Experiencing a lack of activities or responsibilities.
Got nothing to do
Having free time and nowhere specific to go.
And nowhere to be
Facing societal expectations and pressures.
Everybody's telling
Encountering external influence on personal identity.
You who and what to be
Dealing with external opinions on one's identity and purpose.
When they keep
Enduring persistent criticism or challenges from others.
Breaking you down
Responding to external pressure by stating independence.
All you gotta say
Suggesting a defiant response to criticism.
Pick up your guitar
Encouraging others to express themselves through music.
And say hey
Specifically, expressing oneself through playing the guitar.
All I want all I need
Reiterating the desire and need for rock 'n' roll.
Is a little bit of rock 'n' roll
Expressing the persistent need for a specific genre of music.
All I have all I got
Reaffirming possession and current state through music.
Is the music running
Emphasizing the enduring impact of music on the soul.
Through my soul
Highlighting the continuous presence of music.
Whatcha gonna do
Asking about choices and aspirations.
Whatcha wanna be
Questioning personal goals and identity.
I know what I want
Asserting personal clarity on desires and needs.
And I know what I need
Expressing self-awareness regarding personal desires and needs.
All I want all I need
Reiterating the desire and need for rock 'n' roll music.
Is a little bit of rock 'n' roll
Expressing the persistent need for a specific genre of music.
All I have all I got
Reaffirming possession and current state through music.
Is the music running
Emphasizing the enduring impact of music on the soul.
Through my soul
Highlighting the continuous presence of music.
