What You Want
O'Keeffe/Benjamin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Say what you want what you need
I still find your love the savior
Hold me tight and keep a mind
On staying for a long a long time

I, I‘d be no one without your love
I didn't live at all, before I met you
The clock ticks away
Time scares me to death
I can‘t face I have seen nothing yet
Lost moments and chances
I can‘t count on my fingers
They follow me in my deepest dreams

I, I‘d be no one without your love
I didn't live at all, before I met you

The clock is ticking away
Time scares me
Time scares me to death
cnd I can‘t face the fact
That I have
I have seen nothing yet

Lost moments, lost chances
I can‘t count on my fingers
Still follow me in my dreams

Lost moments, lost chances
I can‘t count on my fingers
In my dreams

The clock is ticking away
Time scares me
Time scares me to death
cnd I can‘t face the fact
That I have
I have seen nothing yet

Say what you want what you need
I still find your love the savior
Hold me tight, keep a mind
On staying for a long a long time

Say what you want what you need
I still find your love the savior
Hold me tight, keep a mind
On staying for a long a long time

The clock is ticking away
Time scares me
Time scares me to death
cnd I can‘t face the fact
That I have
I have seen nothing yet

The clock is ticking away
Time scares me
Time scares me to death
cnd I can‘t face the fact




That I have
I have seen nothing yet

I love how in the intro Miku's tuning and voicebank improves.

I have a feeling multiple voicebanks used just for that sequence. Some sort of evolution for Miku's voice.

Perhaps starting from V2 - V4X, in just a few seconds.

- + - + - + - + -

HUGE EDIT: holy crap. This comment is so POINTLESS. I could never be more wrong.

Turns out, how the voice was created was just layers of multiple voices, and really good tuning. Added in effects such as distortion and bitcrush, and there you go. 'Tell me what you want'
