All I Want
Guadalajara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here she comes and I am scared
what shall I say what shall I do
All I want is kissing you
but how could I say how could i do
all i want to do is killing you
I'd love you I'd hate you
I'd rather get out of that lazy chair
as long as you say that you really care
sun keeps burning an my face
why shall i do the endless race
of feeling lousy feeling great
but i don't want no other date
The lyrics of Guadalajara's song "All I want" describe the struggle of a man who is intimidated and smitten by a woman dressed in a short black skirt and long blonde hair. He is unsure of how to approach her and what to say, but he knows that all he wants is to kiss her. However, he is also plagued by conflicting emotions of love and hate, and he expresses his willingness to either praise or kick her. Despite this, he admits that he would rather leave his "lazy chair" if she reciprocates his feelings.
The lines "sun keeps burning an my face, why shall i do the endless race" reflect his torment, as he goes back and forth between feeling "lousy" and "great" and struggling to understand his own emotions. Nevertheless, he is certain that he does not want to date anyone else but her.
The song describes a common experience of being overwhelmed by someone's attractiveness and struggling to articulate one's feelings. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and fear, as well as the intense desire for connection and intimacy. The use of contrasting emotions suggests the complexity of human relationships and the difficulty of reconciling conflicting feelings.
