Everything I Need
Aynsley Lister Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Clean shirt, new jeans
Switch collar everything I need
New shoes, slick hair
Some are saying you can go anywhere

There ain't nothing to stand in front of me
To get me where I wanna be
Cause i've got everything I need

Pretty woman fast car
A fancy watch that tells you where you are
No bills they ain't paid
I got a nice warm place to stay

There ain't nothing to stand in front of me
To get me where I wanna be
Cause i've got everything I need

I've got everything I need

Clear shirt, new jeans
Slick collar everything I need
New shoes, slick hair
Some are saying you can go anywhere

There ain't nothing to stand in front of me
To get me where I wanna be
Cause i've got everything I need

I've got everything I need




Everything I need
Everything I need

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Aynsley Lister's song "Everything I Need" speak to the idea that the singer has everything they need in life to be happy and successful. The first verse describes the singer's appearance, with clean clothes, new shoes, and slick hair. The second verse mentions material possessions like a "pretty woman," "fast car," and "fancy watch," but also notes that the bills are paid and the singer has a warm place to stay. The chorus reiterates that there is nothing standing in the way of the singer reaching their goals because they already have everything they need.


However, it is important to note that the song could also be interpreted as a critique of materialism and consumerism. The focus on clothing, expensive items, and societal status symbols could be seen as superficial and empty, suggesting that true happiness cannot be found through material possessions alone. This interpretation is underscored by the repetition of the phrase "I've got everything I need," which could be read as either sincere or sarcastic.


Overall, "Everything I Need" is a song that encourages listeners to reflect on what they truly need in order to be fulfilled, and to recognize the value of non-material things like relationships, experiences, and personal fulfillment.

@brymacbluesband I never stated i know best at all just pointing out what an un-original, un-inspiring effort this song really is and you cannot deny it as its smack bang in ya face. as for assumptions....that jokes on you, I'm English through and through.

Drivay

@brymacbluesband yeh loads wrong with my ears, i just heard within 60 seconds hes blatantly stolen ZZ top lyrics, vocal melody, guitar riff and passing them off as his own... quoted from his own website.. "Aynsley has never been an artist to reheat the music of yesteryear...." "..full of fine songwriting" no reheating music? if you say so.......... fine songwriting........... more like un-inspired half arsed theft? i'd also bet my last dime that you think Joe Bonamassa is a genuine bluesman
