Weakness
Wanted The Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And she's not afraid to use it
She holds my gaze just long enough
For me to feel like I'm gonna lose it
And I know that she knows
That I know what she's doing to me
And she knows when she calls
'Cause I'm wrapped I'm wrapped around
Your perfect little finger
And I'm trapped inside the cell
Of every sound she makes
She is my weakness, she is my weakness
A look from her is like oxygen
How would I keep breathing without her
She breaks a whole as she looks away
Now my heart ain't beating without her
And I know that she knows
That I know what she's doing to me
And she knows when she goes
I'll come for her every time
'Cause I'm wrapped I'm wrapped around
Your perfect little finger
And I'm trapped inside the cell
Of every sound she makes
She is my weakness, she is my weakness
I know it might sound crazy
But I don't wanna let go
Now I don't mind spending every night if you don't let go
I know it might sound crazy
But I don't wanna let go
Now I don't mind spending every night if you don't let go
'Cause I'm wrapped I'm wrapped around
Your perfect little finger
And I'm trapped inside the cell
Of every sound she makes
She is my weakness, she is my weakness
The simple yet emotive lyrics of Wanted The's "Weakness" tell the story of falling deeply for someone who holds power over us. The song explores the feeling of being completely taken in by someone who has the ability to manipulate and control us, leaving us feeling helpless and vulnerable.
The opening lines "She aims a smile with the safety off, And she's not afraid to use it" immediately sets the tone of the song. The singer is aware of the hold that this person has over them, yet they are unable to resist "falling for her every time."
The chorus "And I'm trapped inside the cell, Of every sound she makes, She is my weakness" perfectly captures the feeling of being powerless and at the mercy of the person who has captured our heart. The singer feels like they are wrapped around this person's finger, utterly consumed by their every move, word and breath.
The song's bridge "I know it might sound crazy, but I don't wanna let go, now I don't mind spending every night if you don't let go" indicates that despite the turmoil and pain, the singer is still willing to hang on and suffer for their love.

She aims a smile with the safety off

Seeing her is essential to my existence
How would I keep breathing without her
I can hardly imagine life without her
She breaks a hole as she looks away
My heart feels like it's breaking when she's not looking at me

But I don't wanna let go
I can't imagine living without her
Now I don't mind spending every night if you don't let go
I'm willing to do anything to be with her
