She want me, no
Rah, ah, rah, ah
Rah, ah, rah, ah
Rah, ah, rah, ah
Rah, ah, rah, ah, rah

Your mind won't let you say that you want me
Your mind won't ever, never let you say what you want
You howl and wail like a banshee
Still, your mind won't ever let you say

Your mind won't let you say that you want me
Your mind won't ever, never let you say what you want
My little tired devotee
Your mind won't even let you feel

Quivering now, shivering now, withering
Your mind won't let you say that you're wondering now, pondering now, hungering
Won't let you say that you're questioning, wavering, weakening
Your mind won't let you say that you're hearkening, listening, heeding me now
Won't let you say that you want

Your mind won't let you say that you want me
Your mind won't ever, never let you have what you want
I feel your hunger to taste me
Still, your mind won't ever let you say

Your kind is just the type that should use me
But your mind won't seem to let you have
The opportunity to abuse me, abuse me
Your mind won't even let you feel

Quivering now, shivering now, withering
Your mind won't let you say that you're wondering now, pondering now, hungering




Won't let you say that you're questioning, wavering, weakening
Your mind won't let you say that you're hearkening, listening, heeding me now
Won't let you say that you want
Me

Savor the addiction, savor the affliction, savor me
Savor the addiction, savor the affliction now
The addiction, savor the affliction, savor me
Savor the addiction, savor the affliction

Savor the addiction, savor the affliction
Savor me, savor me, yeah
Get it

Your mind won't let you say that you want me
Get it
Your mind won't let you say that you want me
Get it
Your mind won't let you say that you want me

Because your mind won't let you say that you want me, that want me
Your mind won't let you say that you want me, that want me
Mind won't let you say that you want me, that want me
Won't let you say that you want me, that want me

What do you want?
What do you want?
What do you want?
What do you want?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Disturbed's song "Want" seem to be about the frustration of unspoken desires, specifically related to a relationship. The first verse sets the tone by suggesting that the person singing the song is aware that the other person wants them but is too afraid or inhibited to say so. The second verse continues to describe the person's internal struggle with their desire for the singer, and portrays them as "quivering now, shivering now, withering" with the weight of their unspoken longing.


The chorus repeats the sentiment that the individual is unable to express their desire, with the added element of the singer recognizing the other person's longing but their struggle to act on it. The later verses of the song add an element of masochism to the relationship, with the line "your kind is just the type that should use me" implying that the individual desires to be abused in some way. However, the lyrics ultimately return to the theme of unspoken desire when the final lines repeatedly ask "what do you want?".


Overall, the song portrays the intense frustration and tension that can arise when one person desires another but is unable to express their feelings or act on them. It also hints at potentially unhealthy dynamics in a relationship, with the idea of masochism and abuse coming into play.
