You Want It All
Go Betty Go Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen back on the track
Is there something that you know?
I've heard this song before a long time ago
It once brought back a memory alone
Something lost, something gone
That you don't recall
You did your best to forget, now it's dead and gone
You want it all
You left it far behind
Can't see the thought
There's nothing in your mind

This song used to be about someone you knew
He is here no more taking care of you
Why did he have to leave this world behind?
Something lost, something gone
That you don't recall
You did your best to forget, now it's dead and gone

You want it all
You left it far behind
Can't see the thought
There's nothing in your mind

In your mind, in your mind




You buried all the things
You left behind

The song starts with the singer asking if there is something the listener knows or remembers while listening to the track, and mentions how the song had brought back a long-lost memory. The lyric, "Something lost, something gone, that you don't recall, you did your best to forget now it's dead and gone," indicates the theme of lost memories, things that we try hard to forget from the past, but sometimes, we find it hard to forget something completely.

The lyrics, "This song used to be about someone you knew, he is here no more, taking care of you.

The chorus, "You want it all, you left it far behind, can't see the thought, there's nothing in your mind," highlights how the singer and the person they are addressing in the song are trying to forget something that may have been important to them at some point. They have left it behind, and now there's nothing left in their mind.
