All I Want
Berkeley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I need are things that are mine
You're such a waste of time
All I want is to have my say
All I need are things my own way
Shouldn't listen to what you say
It's all been said before
You're knocking down my door
But never let you in
I look into your eyes
And see you start to cry
It's all been said before
You're knocking down my door
It's all been done again
I'll never let you in
It's all I want, it's all I need
For all I want I'm on my knees
All I want is a place to be
All I need is you there with me
Shouldn't listen to your plea
It started with a kiss and ended up a mess
And falling from the sky and burning through my eyes
I'm never looking back I'll only go and slack
I'm only looking round for ways to feel more down
It's all been said before
You're knocking down my door
I listen to you sin
But never let you in
I look into your eyes
And see you start to cry
It's all been said before
You're knocking down my door
It's all been done again
I'll never let you in
It's all I want, it's all I need
For all I want I'm on my knees
It's all I want, it's all I need
For all I want I'm on my knees
In Berkeley's song All I Want, the lyrics convey a sense of frustration and a desire for independence from someone who is perceived as a waste of time. The singer expresses the need for autonomy and the urge to make decisions on their own terms. The repetition of the phrases "all I want" and "all I need" emphasize the importance of self-determination to the singer, who has been influenced by others before and does not want to make the same mistake again.
The singer's defiance is also evident in their disregard for "what you say," indicating a lack of interest in the opinions of others. The singer's cynicism is further highlighted in lines like "It's all been said before" and "It's all been done again," indicating a sense of boredom or disillusionment with the world around them.
The song also touches upon a failed relationship that has left the singer feeling burnt out and emotionally drained. The lines "It started with a kiss and ended up a mess" evoke a sense of disappointment and bitterness towards the relationship. The repeating refrain of "I'll never let you in" reflects the singer's desire to protect themselves from further hurt and disappointment.
Overall, the song conveys a strong sense of determination and an urge for liberation from external influences.

All I want is to bide my time
I just want to wait patiently for what I desire
All I need are things that are mine
I only require the possessions I own
You're such a waste of time
You're not worth my time or attention
All I want is to have my say
I simply want to express my thoughts and opinions
All I need are things my own way
I require things to be done according to my preferences
Shouldn't listen to what you say
I shouldn't pay attention to your words or advice
It's all been said before
This situation has already occurred in the past
You're knocking down my door
You're being persistent and intruding on my personal space
I listen to you sin
I hear you commit wrongdoing
But never let you in
But I won't allow you to become a part of my life
I look into your eyes
I gaze deeply into your eyes
And see you start to cry
And witness tears forming in your eyes
It's all been done again
This situation has repeated itself
I'll never let you in
I will never allow you to come close to me
For all I want I'm on my knees
I am willing to greatly humble myself for my desires
All I want is a place to be
I simply want somewhere to exist
All I need is you there with me
All I require is your presence beside me
Shouldn't listen to your plea
I shouldn't take your requests or appeals seriously
It started with a kiss and ended up a mess
What began romantically resulted in chaos
And falling from the sky and burning through my eyes
Experiencing great hurt and pain
I'm never looking back I'll only go and slack
I refuse to reflect on the past and will only become lazy
I'm only looking round for ways to feel more down
I'm actively searching for ways to become more depressed
