You Want It All

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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 lyrics of "You Want It All" by Go Betty Go talk about the idea of burying memories, both good and bad, and trying to forget about them. 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 song also appears to be about someone the singer knew who has since passed away, which makes them think about the past and what they have lost. The lyrics, "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?" shows that the singer is perhaps mourning the loss of someone close to them, and their memories of that person are intertwined with their thoughts.
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.
Overall, the lyrics of "You Want It All" talk about memories and how they shape one's thoughts and actions. Sometimes, memories come back in unexpected ways, and we find it hard to forget them, no matter how hard we try.
