I Want To Know
Hiroyuki Sawano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been thinking of you
You can't stop your tears
When you stayed with me just before
I want to know
Do you love me?
How long you had to wait for me
I got in a fight
When you saw me
I couldn't talk and sprawled out on the floor
So it's too late
Oh Girl, How can I speak with you?
If you could hear my secret
Now I really want to talk
It's a shame
But, did you know?
There's a way that you can find what you seek
You'll be stronger for real
You're alone in the rain
Been thinking of you
You can't stop your tears
When you stayed with me just before
I want to know
Do you love me?
How long you had to wait for me
You can't think of yesterday
I got in a fight
When you saw me
I couldn't talk and sprawled out on the floor
So it's too late
Oh Girl, How can I speak with you?
If you could hear my secret
Now I really want to talk
It's a shame
But, did you know?
There's a way that you can find what you seek
You'll be stronger for real
The lyrics of "I want to know" by Hiroyuki Sawano depict a person who is alone in the rain, thinking about someone they love. The person is crying and unable to stop despite having stayed with the singer before. The singer is desperately seeking an answer to the question, "Do you love me?" The song suggests that the person has been waiting a long time for the singer and cannot think of yesterday. The singer mentions getting into a fight and being unable to speak, conveying a sense of regret and missed opportunities.
In the second half of the song, the singer asks how they can speak to the person and reveals a secret they want to share. They express sorrow for not being able to talk earlier but then add that there is a way to find what one seeks and become stronger for it.
Interpreting the lyrics, it seems that the singer is longing for a connection with the person they love but feels that they have missed their chance. The person may have been hurt by the singer's actions, but the singer wants to make amends and share their true feelings. The song ends on a hopeful note, indicating that there is still a way to find what one seeks.

You're feeling lonely and lost in your thoughts
Been thinking of you
You've been on my mind constantly

I remember the time we spent together fondly
I want to know
I'm curious and inquisitive about your feelings
Do you love me?
I'm anxious to know if you feel the same way as I do
How long you had to wait for me
You've been patient and waiting for me for a while
You can't think of yesterday
The past doesn't matter anymore, all that matters is the present
I got in a fight
I was involved in a physical altercation
When you saw me
You witnessed my violent encounter and were worried for me
I couldn't talk and sprawled out on the floor
I was injured and unable to communicate properly
So it's too late
It's too late to change what happened, but I hope you understand
Oh Girl, How can I speak with you?
