Everything
Dave Navarro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Try to sit there
Don't be afraid
Drink your protein
Try to sit there
Don't run away
Tasting strawberry
Breathing sweetness
I fell in your rusted heart
Before you dripped away
She has everything, everything
I am all your pain
Dilated
Coagulated
Exposing every nerve
Liquidated
Disappearing
Inside the living room
Taking care of the older men
They have some cash to spend
Never had a chance to say
Goodbye my precious friend
She has everything, everything
I am all your pain
I want to taste your saliva
I wish that you were my daughter
I wish that I was your father
We could keep secrets
Luscious virgin
Candied apples
Dried up in the street
Blackened concrete
Tearing into
Your bended fragile knees
Hotel bathrooms
Neon contour
Bleeding in the sink
I have never been so in love
I felt like I should die, yeah
She has everything, everything
I am all your pain
I want to taste your saliva
I wish that you were my daughter
I wish that I was your father
We could keep secrets
The lyrics of Dave Navarro's song "Everything" showcase the singer's desire to give into his darkest desires and explore taboo themes that are not typically covered in mainstream music. The song is predominantly about lust, love, and obsession. Throughout the song, Dave Navarro speaks about his infatuation with a woman who he refers to as "baby."
The opening lyrics of the song center around the idea of trying to make the woman feel comfortable with him. He urges her to try and stay, "Try to sit there, don't run away." He then suggests that she drinks her protein, which could either refer to a health drink that he is offering or a slang term for semen. From there, the song delves into more graphic sexual imagery, with Navarro talking about the taste of "strawberry" and "kissing purple veins."
The second verse of the song takes a darker turn. Navarro talk about catering to older men in a living room setting, possibly insinuating that they are engaging in prostitution. He then talks about wishing that the object of his affection was his daughter and that he could be her father, a twisted fantasy that further showcases his unhealthy fascination with her. The lyrics continue with Navarro describing hotel bathrooms, neon contours, and blackened concrete, painting a picture of an urban landscape where taboo sexual encounters take place.
