What You Want
Miniatures Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you are falls further than that
Walking another wanting another water wall
'Til another walking 'til all you want is
What you are
What you are
Here's far further than there
Water, water
Here's far further than wanting off over water
Walking another wanting another water wall
Walking another wanting till all you want is
Walking another wanting till all you want is
Water
All that you are is another one
Making all the waves better now as you come under
Walking another wanting another water
Wall til another wanting till all you want is
What you are
What you are
Here's what you want, water
Here's far further than there
Here, want, water
Here's far further than there
Here's what you want
Water
Here's far further than there.
Here's far further than there.
Here on the ground
In the water under water
Here's far further than there
Isn't it what you want, water
In the water it's all you are
The lyrics of Miniatures' "What You Want" seem to explore the idea of wanting and desire. The repeated phrase "What you want is a water wall" gives a sense of someone who is in search of something that is elusive and unattainable, just like water slipping through one's fingers. The next line, "What you are falls further than that" suggests that the person's true self is deeper and more complex than simply a desire for material things. The rest of the lyrics then seem to alternate between wanting and being, with the person walking and wanting another water wall until they finally realize that all they want is what they are.
The repetition of "Here's far further than there" and "What you want" further emphasizes the theme of longing and searching for something unattainable. The final lines "Here on the ground, in the water under water, here's far further than there, isn't it what you want, water, in the water it's all you are" provide a sense of introspection and self-discovery, as the person begins to realize that what they want may be within themselves all along.
Overall, the lyrics of "What You Want" seem to be about the human experience of searching for meaning and fulfillment, and the realization that true happiness can often be found within oneself.

Best band nobody's heard of, so sad they are no longer. I've had their songs on loop for years and never tire of their sound. They outclass so many others in this genre, their vibe is timeless and their style is so deep.
