I Want
The Letters Organize Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to be overwhelmed right now.
I want reality to set in.
We can't sit and wait forever.
With time invested, with no interest and no rewards,
And no regrets, and there's no fear, there's no shame.
It's just the thrill of the drive.
you don't say I don't want to talk about it.
For what it's worth we can only try and try so hard.
Get away I want to be the best.
For what it's worth we can only try and try so hard.
I want, I want it now!
don't make me beg, it's human nature.
Everything's at my fingertips now.
it's what I want, it's what I want.
And I want, I want it now!
The Letters Organize's song 04 I Want I Want appears to be a commentary on our modern tendency towards instant gratification and impatience. The singer repeatedly expresses their desire for immediate satisfaction, wanting everything the future holds, to be overwhelmed, and for reality to set in. They're tired of waiting without reward, interest, or regret, and are only motivated by the thrill of the drive. There's a sense of urgency, a feeling that if they don't act now, they'll miss out on something important. The singer even acknowledges how hard it is to control these impulses, it's human nature to want what we want when we want it.
The lyrics seem to critique our society's fixation on instant gratification, and our tendency to prioritize our own desires over everything else. The singer's insistence on fulfilling their own wants and needs suggests a lack of consideration for others, and a disregard for the consequences of their actions. However, the song doesn't necessarily condemn these impulses, as they are a part of being human. Instead, it paints a picture of our society's struggle to balance immediate gratification with long-term goals and collective well-being.
