Overall Meaning

On the surface, the lyrics of this song seem pretty straightforward - the singer is expressing their intense desire for someone, so much so that it's driving them mad. However, when paired with the music and the emotive vocals of Joe Anderson, Dana Fuchs, T.V. Carpio, and the ensemble, the song takes on a deeper and more complex meaning. The repetition of the phrase "I want you" emphasizes the obsessive nature of the singer's desire, and the drawn-out notes in "so baaad" create a sense of desperation and urgency. The line "she's so heaaavyyy" could be interpreted in a few different ways - perhaps the object of the singer's desire is physically heavy, or maybe their emotional baggage is weighing down the relationship.


Overall, this song is a raw and intense expression of longing and obsession. The repetition of the chorus underscores the singer's single-minded focus on their desire, and the passionate vocals convey genuine emotion. The song is a testament to the power of desire and the intensity of human connection, even when those connections can be tumultuous and all-consuming.
