Wishing Well
Flick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To grant my wish
What my wish is I don't know
Maybe somehow it will show
What I want
What I want is it
Will it happen
What I want
Ain't always what I get
Waiting in the waiting room
I would get out but it's too soon
Scream and yell but nothing to say
I wouldn't have it any other way
What I want
What I want is it
Will it happen
What I want
What I want
Ain't always what I get
I want to take you out
If it's the last thing that I do
I want to take you out
I hope you'll want me to
I want to take you out
Grant me this wishing well do
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, ooh
What I want
What I want is it
Will it happen
What I want
What I want
Ain't always what I get
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ain't never gonna happen
The lyrics of Flick's song, "Wishing Well," suggest that the singer is feeling unsure about what they want in life but still hoping that a wishing well will grant their wishes anyway. The ambiguity of what exactly they're hoping for is highlighted in the opening lines, where they express the desire for a wishing well to grant their wish, without knowing what it is they want. The sense of uncertainty is amplified in the following lines, where the singer hopes that somehow, their wish will show itself. They seem to be grasping for something, but not sure what exactly it is they need.
The second verse of the song provides a stark contrast to the first, where the singer seems to be expressing a sense of frustration. They are stuck in the waiting room and want to leave, but it's too soon. There's nothing to do but scream and yell, but they wouldn't have it any other way. This sudden shift in tone suggests that the singer is struggling with their own feelings, and the waiting room is a metaphorical representation of their general state of frustration and uncertainty.
The final verse returns to the theme of wanting something, this time directed towards another person. The singer wants to take someone out and hopes that they will want to go as well. This time, they directly address the wishing well, asking it to grant them this wish. But the song ends on a somewhat bleak note - "Ain't never gonna happen" - which could imply that the singer has resigned themselves to the fact that their wishes may never come true.
Overall, "Wishing Well" portrays a sense of longing and frustration, amplified by the uncertainty of what exactly the singer wants. The use of the metaphor of the wishing well highlights the idea that sometimes we don't even know what we're hoping for, but we still hold out hope that something will happen.
