Want You
Mesh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What are you going to do
What are you going to say
Nothing can bring her back to you
No one can make her stay with you

How are you going to live
With nobody on their knees
Hanging on every word you say
Nothing but you to fill their day

She doesn't want you
(Why don't you see it)
She doesn't want you
(Just don't believe it)
She doesn't need you
(Why don't you see it)
She doesn't need you
(Just don't believe it)
She doesn't need you

Didn't you have enough
Didn't she give it all
No one deserves to live like that
Getting their way to hell and back

She doesn't want you
(Why don't you see it)
She doesn't want you
(Just don't believe it)
She doesn't need you
(Why don't you see it)
She doesn't need you
(Just don't believe it)

Only time will
Be the judge of
You

She doesn't want you
She doesn't want you
She doesn't need you
(Why don't you see it)
She doesn't need you
(Just don't believe it)
(Why don't you see it)
(Just don't believe it)





She doesn't want you
She doesn't want you

Overall Meaning

The song "Want You" by Mesh is an emotionally charged and introspective piece that explores themes of rejection, heartbreak, and obsession. The first two opening lines appear to be questions the singer is asking themselves in the aftermath of a relationship ending. They are caught in a state of confusion as they try to understand why the relationship didn't work out and are struggling to come to terms with the rejection. The following two lines suggest that nothing can bring the person back and that no one can make them stay despite the singer's desire to have them back in their life.


The next section of the song revolves around the singer's obsession with trying to win back the person they lost. They are struggling to find meaning and purpose in their life without this person and believe that this person should want and need them because they are the only thing that can fill their day. This kind of thinking may not be healthy, and the singer is unaware of the fact that they may be developing an unhealthy obsession with this person that could lead to further heartache.


Finally, the song concludes with a sobering realization that only time will be the judge of the singer's actions. The singer accepts the fact that the other person doesn't want or need them in their life, but they are unsure of what to do, how to act, or how to move on. This is a very relatable feeling for anyone who has gone through a break-up, and this song portrays it in a heartbreaking and emotional way.
