What You Want
Mennie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Til you've learned the meaning of the blues
Until you've loved a love you've had to lose,
You don't know what love is.
You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost,
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost,
Do you know how a lost heart fears
At the thought of reminiscing,
And how lips that taste of tears
Lose their taste for kissing?
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that can, not live yet never dies.
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes,
You don't know what love is.
The lyrics to Mennie's song "What You Want" are a reference to the ever-elusive and difficult concept of love. The opening lines "You don't know what love is 'til you've learned the meaning of the blues" indicates that love is best understood through experiencing its absence, symbolically represented as the blues. The lyrics go on to highlight that you cannot truly understand love unless you have experienced the pain of losing it. The lines "Until you've loved a love you've had to lose, You don't know what love is" conjure up the feeling of heartbreak and how it is a necessary component of truly grasping the emotional spectrum of loving someone.
The second paragraph further underlines this theme with references to the physical and emotional tolls of loving someone. The lines "You don't know how lips hurt until you've kissed and had to pay the cost" allude to how being vulnerable and intimate can lead to pain and suffering. The reference to a "lost heart" in the following lines highlights the agony of nostalgia and holding onto past love. The final line "you don't know what love is" thus becomes a resounding conclusion to these lyrics, as it feels impossible to fully capture love's complexity through mere words.
Line by Line Meaning
You don't know what love is
Love is not understood until one experiences it firsthand
'Til you've learned the meaning of the blues
One must understand heartbreak and pain to truly comprehend love
Until you've loved a love you've had to lose,
Losing a love that was cherished is the only way to realize the depth of one's love for it
You don't know how lips hurt
The pain of lost love can be physically felt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost,
Love can come at the price of heartache and sorrow
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost,
Losing love can turn one's emotions upside down
Do you know how a lost heart fears
Fear can be a result of heartbreak
At the thought of reminiscing,
Remembering past love can be painful and difficult
And how lips that taste of tears
Crying can take away the joy of kissing
Lose their taste for kissing?
The bitterness of heartbreak can cause one to lose interest in love and romance
You don't know how hearts burn
The pain of lost love can cause an intense emotional reaction
For love that can, not live yet never dies.
Even when love is gone, it can still leave a lasting impact on one's heart and soul
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes,
Insomnia can be a symptom of heartbreak and grief
You don't know what love is.
Love can only be truly understood through experiencing all its highs and lows
