What You Want
Aerial Carbon feat. Violetta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I...want...to...kill...you
When you least expect it
I'll bash your brains in
When you least expect it
Afraid of losing your mind
But I don't want to know you
Now there's no time
You're afraid of flying
It's both a lovely and a fearful thing
To be captured by all of your feelings
(CHORUS)
I breathe into you
Into you
You run to me and
Desire's slowly becoming
Your great escape
You let me wonder
Don't even know my name
Now I'll let you burn
I promise nothing
(CHORUS)
But still you return to me
I breathe into you
I breathe into you
You are real
Dandelion stares in my eyes
I am walking through the morning
I wish you were caught by now
I'm afraid of what they'll find
Take the box of magic
Lay it in the back of your mind
Can we wash in the morphine
After we eat we'll be fine
I've only known a few
Take me within and you'll know what love is...easy
You're the lonely lovers
Let me watch you dance
Let me watch you sleep
Kiss her with your tongue
And you'll crawl to me again
Can you feel it ?
Can you feel it ?
Can you feel it ?
Can you feel it ?
Can you feel it ?
Can you feel it ?
Can you feel it ?
Can you feel it ?
Can you feel it ?
Can you feel it ?
Can you feel it ?
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Can you feel it ?
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
I breathe into you
(CHORUS)
I breathe into you
I breathe into you
You are real




I breathe into you
You are real

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "What You Want" by Aerial Carbon feat. Violetta are deeply intense and layered, revealing a complex set of emotions and desires. The first stanza opens with a chilling statement: "I want to kill you / when you least expect it / I'll bash your brains in." This violent impulse is juxtaposed with the singer's fear of losing their mind and their own tenuous grip on reality. They don't want to know the person they're addressing, and are only interested in the fleeting pleasure of being "captured by all of your feelings." The chorus repeats the line "I breathe into you," which can be interpreted as a demand for submission or a promise of unity. The bridge includes a reference to morphine and the suggestion of escape, adding to the dreamlike, surreal quality of the song.


Despite its dark themes, "What You Want" is a hauntingly beautiful track that explores the complexities of human desire. The lyrics suggest a twisted version of love, where violence and control are as much a part of the mix as physical and emotional connection. The use of tense changes and shifting perspectives add to the sense of disorientation and unease, while the repetitive refrain creates a sense of hypnotic trance that draws the listener in.
