All I Want
A.I.R. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't get what you mean
Read my lips and try to figure out
I don't get what you want
Drag me down to where we belong
And please, let go of what we don't know
Who am I to say? Who am I to judge?
Who am I to be right there?
I am here and you are there
Say - all you wanna say
Say - all you wanna say
Say - all you wanna say
Say - all you wanna say
Hear our beats echo loud and clear
Pounding and aching alone in the dark
Hold me closer - just this time
Hold me closer - just let me be
Hold me closer - just for today
Hold me closer - now
I will lay me down to rest
And I will hold it in, all that I wanna say, hold it in
You see right through the shield that I wear
We will fall back into the unknown
Who am I to say? Who am I to judge?
Who am I to be right there?
We don't say the words but we mean the truth
I am here and you are there
Who are we to cry? Who are we to fight?
Are you there with you closest ally?
We don't say the words but we mean the truth
Let me go or hold me closer
All i wanna say
Hold me closer - just this time
Hold me closer - just let me be
Hold me closer - just for today
I will lay me down to rest
And I will hold it in
all that I wanna say, hold it in
Who am I to say? Who am I to judge?
Who am I to be right there?
We don't say the words but we mean the truth
I am here and you are there
Who are we to cry? Who are we to fight?
Are you there with your closest ally?
We don't say the words but we mean the truth
Let me go or hold me closer

The song also touches on the fear of vulnerability and the struggle to open up to one another.
The verse "Hold me closer - just this time, hold me closer - just let me be, hold me closer - just for today, I will lay me down to rest and I will hold it in all that I wanna say, hold it in" expresses the desire to be held and comforted, while still suppressing the real emotions and thoughts that need to be shared. The repeated question "Who am I to say? Who am I to judge?" suggests a feeling of uncertainty and insecurity in the relationship.
Overall, "All I Want" explores the complexities of communication and vulnerability in a relationship, as well as the fear and anxiety that can come with it.

Speak your mind freely
Hear our beats echo loud and clear
Listen to the rhythm that resonates strongly
Pounding and aching alone in the dark
Experiencing emotional distress and discomfort in solitude

Embrace me without asserting your dominance
Hold me closer - just for today
Embrace me for the duration of this day only
I will lay me down to rest
I will take a moment to relax
And I will hold it in, all that I wanna say, hold it in
I will contain all my desires and opinions within
You see right through the shield that I wear
You are perceptive and recognize my defenses
We will fall back into the unknown
We will regress into the uncertain and unfamiliar
Who are we to cry? Who are we to fight?
We don't have the authority to express despair or aggression
Are you there with your closest ally?
Do you have your trusted supporter by your side?
Let me go or hold me closer
Choose to release me or keep me close

I listen to a lot of different music from all kinds of different genres. From black metal to minimal techno, jazz to classical pieces, lo-fi house to video game soundtracks. Over the years, there were only a few songs my heart was tempted to call the best i ever heard. This is one of them.
