I Want
Cactus 12 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can take her out
It doesn't matter what time I come around
If it's not too late I can violate
How high so birds fly
If there's no one watching?
It could kill my mind
Flies by as someone counts the hours while
I fall in love with you
I wanna get you off my mind
I could have then
I should have tried a little harder
I wish that time would be my friend
And you'd be here until the end,
Maybe longer
I want a lover with a mothe like that
I could take her out
It doesn't matter what time
She comes around
If it's not too late
I could fly away
The lyrics of the song "I Want" by Cactus 12 speak about the singer's desire for a lover who has a mother like that. The singer longs for a relationship with a partner who has a mother that he admires and is impressed with. He wants someone he can take out and spend time with, without worrying about the time, as long as it's not too late. The singer seems to be someone who wants to enjoy and cherish life with someone dear to him, disregarding any societal restrictions or inhibitions. However, the line "If it's not too late I can violate," suggests that the singer might be willing to do anything to be with the person he desires, even if it means breaking societal norms.
The song then moves on to talk about the inevitability of time and how it can mess with one's mind. The singer wonders how high birds fly when no one is watching, indicating how we as humans feel the pressure of time as we constantly try to achieve something notable in life. The singer then confesses his love for the person, acknowledging that time flies by as someone counts the hours while he falls in love with them. The singer, in a way, is praying that time becomes his friend and that the person he loves stays with him until the end.
The song ends with the singer echoing the initial lyrics- "I want a lover with a mother like that." The repetition of these lyrics, along with the melody, gives the song an etherial feel, almost like a dreamy haze that leaves the listener lost in thought.
Line by Line Meaning
I want a lover with a mother like that
I am looking for someone who has a mother that I can connect with on a deep level, someone who is not only my lover but also my friend.
I can take her out
I am willing to take her mother out and spend time with her, as it is important for me to build a good relationship with her family.
It doesn't matter what time I come around
I am flexible with my schedule and I am willing to meet her at any given time, as I don't want her to feel neglected or ignored.
If it's not too late I can violate
If she is not already committed to someone else, I would like to pursue her romantically and see where it could lead to.
How high so birds fly
I am curious about the world around us and interested in the beauty of nature, even the smallest things like how high birds can fly.
If there's no one watching?
I wonder if the natural world is truly independent of human influence, or whether our perception of it changes based on whether or not there are people around to observe it.
It could kill my mind
The idea of the world's complexity beyond our understanding is overwhelming and sometimes feels like too much to handle.
To think that time
Reflecting on the passage of time and how it changes us and our relationships can be a heavy and emotional topic.
Flies by as someone counts the hours while
The knowledge that time ticks away whether or not we pay attention to it, can be difficult to grasp and feels like we are always racing against a clock that we can never catch up to.
I fall in love with you
Despite the hardships that come along with love and the passage of time, my feelings for you remain strong and pure.
I wanna get you off my mind
I am trying to deal with the lingering feelings I have for you, and how it can be hard to move on after a period of emotional attachment.
I could have then
Looking back at our relationship, I can see that there were moments when I could have acted differently, and maybe things would have turned out differently.
I should have tried a little harder
I blame myself for not doing enough to win you over, and it feels like I missed a chance to show you how much I cared for you.
I wish that time would be my friend
I feel like time is an enemy, constantly reminding me of what could have been and how things didn't work out for us.
And you'd be here until the end,
I wish you were still here with me, and that we could have shared more memories, and that our love story would have had a different ending.
Maybe longer
I cling to the hope that maybe someday our paths will cross again, and we can build new memories and make things right.

I bought a bunny ear cactus at ACE hardware for $8.99. It was a little pot and today it's 10 feet wide and growing like crazy. My friend gave me an Easter cactus and WON'T stop growing. I take a lot bunch of spring pictures as my plants bloom....the colors are quit beautiful. Between orange & Reds, lemon yellows and purples...I was given a cactus from a friend years ago.I have now planted the great grand kids of that original plant...
