Anything
Bird Martina Topley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're gonna be thinkin'
I'll run out
That's where you're so mistaken
You take me to a high
Of just no other kind
I don't want anything (but you)
I don't need anything (but you)
I don't need anything (but you)
The size
Just seems to get bigger
The prize is, well, just go figure
When I think way back when
I can't go back again
I don't want anything (but you)
I don't need anything (but you)
I don't want anything (but you)
I don't need anything (but you)
My half
I thought I'd be stronger
But my path
T you just seems longer
You fake me to a high
Of just no other kind
I don't want anything (but you)
I don't need anything (but you)
I don't want anything (but you)
I don't need anything (but you)
Don't want anything (but you)
I don't need anything (but you)
I don't want anything (but you)
I don't need anything
(but you)
The lyrics of "Anything" by Martina Topley Bird seem to explore the idea that love is all one needs to be content. The song suggests that many people are mistaken in believing that material possessions or other people are necessary for happiness - instead, the singer of the song claims that only one person is enough to put her into a "high of just no other kind". The singer also touches upon the idea of lost time, looking back on the past and understanding that there is no going back but also implying that it is better to focus on the present and the future than to wallow in regret. Overall, the song's message is one of simplicity and contentment, suggesting that life's true rewards come from being close to someone else.
