All I Want
Static Function (feat. Avielle Breen) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(I can't see it through)

It's all gone, it's all gone now,
it's never coming back,
trying to find my way, home,
to find what we once had,
I don't know where I am going,
I can't see it through,

I just can't read these signs you're showing,
but all I want is you.

(All I want is you)
(All I want is you)
(All I want is you)
(I can't see it through)

It's all gone, it's all gone now,
it's never coming back,
trying to find my way, home,
to find what we once had,
I don't know where I am going,
I can't see it through,
I just can't read these signs you're showing,
but all I want is you.

(All I want is you)
(All I want is you)
(All I want is you)
(All I want is you)

It's all gone, it's all gone now,
it's never coming back,
trying to find my way, home,
to find what we once had,
I don't know where I am going,
I can't see it through,

I just can't read these signs you're showing,
but all I want is you.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Static Function's song "All I Want" convey the feeling of being lost and searching for something that can never be retrieved. The opening lines "It's all gone, it's all gone now, it's never coming back" suggest that the singer has lost something important or someone dear to them. The repeated line "Trying to find my way, home, to find what we once had" indicates that they are seeking a feeling of comfort and familiarity that they associate with home, but they cannot seem to find it. Despite feeling lost and uncertain, the singer is unwavering in their desire to reconcile with the person they lost, as exemplified by the chorus "all I want is you."

The lines "I just can't read these signs you're showing" suggest that the person they lost is trying to communicate with them but they are unable to understand the message. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for the confusion and misunderstandings that can arise in relationships, and the difficulty of reconciling with someone even when both parties have the same end goal. The tone of the song is melancholic and reflective, with the repeating chorus amplifying the sense of longing and desire felt by the singer.
