What You Want
Awesome City Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
季節雨に降られて 朝のニュースキャスターを思い出す
街行く人のストーリーを いくつだって描いてみるけど
肝心の君は現れない「いつもの事」溜息も出やしない
どこにいる？ 何してる？ 確かめる 術もなく
投げやりに なりきれない この僕を 笑ってればいいよ
I want to ask you once again
Cause I found I just won't take it any more
Baby, what you want？ 胸の奥の
Baby, what you want？ 思いを
Baby, what you want？ 今、今 見せてよ
Baby, what you want？ 君のほんとの
Baby, what you want？ 答えを
Baby, what you want？ ただ、ただ 欲しいよ
Got nothing left to lose now
What am I supposed to do now？
You had the same heart as me
You had the same heart as me
Got nothing left to lose now
What am I supposed to do now？
I know it's stupid of me
I know it's stupid of me
The lyrics to Awesome City Club's "What You Want" speak to the frustration and uncertainty of waiting for someone who doesn't show up. The first verse describes the setting of a rainy day at a crossroads, where the singer arrives early with memories of a morning newscaster. Despite imagining the stories of people passing by, the person they're waiting for doesn't appear. The chorus pleads with the absent person to reveal their true desires and intentions.
The second verse adds to the frustration by highlighting the lack of communication or knowledge about where this person might be or what they could be doing. The singer admits to feeling helpless and unable to fully become apathetic, wishing instead for the other person to simply laugh things off. The following bridge considers the consequences of the situation, with the repetition of "got nothing left to lose now" and the question of what to do next.
Overall, "What You Want" captures the experience of hanging on to hope despite disappointment and the desire for clearer answers in a relationship or connection.
